AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: The staff grants a rulemaking petition filed by Katherine

Pyeatt to allot Channel 283A to Markham, Texas, as a second local service. The staff also grants a counterproposal filed by Fort Bend

Broadcasting Company, licensee of Station KHTZ(FM), Ganado, Texas, to upgrade Station KHTZ(FM) from Channel 284C2 to Channel 235C and to modify its license accordingly.

DATES: Effective March 15, 2010.

The Notice of Proposed Rule Making in this proceeding proposed the allotment of Channel 235A at Markham, Texas. As described above, Fort

Bend Broadcasting proposed the upgrade of its Station KHTZ(FM), Ganado,

Texas, from Channel 284C2 to Channel 235C at a new transmitter site and the modification of its license to specify operation on non-adjacent

Channel 235C. The document explains that it was not necessary to compare these conflicting proposals because an alternate channel is available for allotment at Markham. Specifically, the document allots

Channel 283A at Markham in lieu of Channel 235A. Because the conflict was resolved, the document also grants Fort Bend's counterproposal to upgrade Station KHTZ(FM) to Channel 235C. To accommodate this upgrade, the document substitutes Channel 284C3 for Channel 236C3 at Victoria,

Texas, and modifies the license for Station KVIC(FM), Victoria, to specify operation on Channel 284C3. Finally, because Fort Bend's counterproposal involves licensed stations, the channel substitutions for Station KHTZ(FM) at Gandado, Texas, and for KVIC(FM), Victoria,

Texas, will be updated in the Commission's Consolidated Data Base

System [CDBS].

This document does not contain new or modified information collection requirements subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
