FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION 47 CFR Part 73

DA 07-2854; MB Docket No. 07-125; RM-11375

Radio Broadcasting Services; Oolitic, IN

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: This document requests comments on a petition for rulemaking filed by Bruce Quinn, requesting the allotment of Channel 231A at

Oolitic, Indiana. The coordinates for Channel 231A at Oolitic, Indiana, are 38-59-16 NL and 86-37-47 WL. There is a site restriction of 13.2 kilometers (8.2 miles) northwest of the community. Proposed Channel 231A is short-spaced to the licensed site of Station WQKC-FM, Channel 229B, Seymour, Indiana. However, Station WQKC-FM's license was modified to specify operation on Channel 230A at Sellersburg, Indiana in MB

Docket No. 03-98 and the FM Table of Allotments was amended to reflect this change. Therefore, no protection is afforded to this license site.

A Petition for Reconsideration of the letter dismissal of this Petition is dismissed as moot.

DATES: Comments must be filed on or before November 3, 2008, and reply comments on or before November 17, 2008.

ADDRESSES: Secretary, Federal Communications Commission, 445 Twelfth

Street, SW., Washington, DC 20554. In addition to filing comments with the FCC, interested parties should serve the petitioner as follows:

Bruce Quinn, 1217 Lafayette Avenue, Columbus, Indiana 47201.

Members of the public should note that from the time a Notice of

Proposed Rulemaking is issued until the matter is no longer subject to

Commission consideration or court review, all ex parte contacts are prohibited in Commission proceedings, such as this one, which involve channel allotments. See 47 CFR 1.1204(b) for rules governing permissible ex parte contacts.
