47 CFR Part 73

[DA 03-3230; MB Docket No. 03-174, RM-10754]

Radio Broadcasting Services; Ehrenberg, AZ

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: The Audio Division, at the request of Daniel R. Feely, allots Channel 286C2 to Ehrenberg, Arizona, as the community's first local aural transmission service. See 68 FR 47285, August 8, 2003. Channel 286C2 can be allotted to Ehrenberg, consistent with the minimum distance separation requirements of the Commission's Rules, provided there is a site restriction 28.8 kilometers (17.9 miles) northeast to avoid short-spacing to the license sites of Station KBUX, Channel 232A, Quartzsite, Arizona and Mexican Station XHMC-FM, Channel 285B, Mexicali, BN. The reference coordinates for Channel 286C2 at Ehrenberg are 33-48-00 North Latitude and 114-19-12 West Longitude. Although concurrence has been requested for Channel 286C2 at Ehrenberg, notification has not been received. If a construction permit is granted prior to the receipt of formal concurrence in the allotment by the Mexican government, the construction permit will include the following condition: ``Use of this allotment is subject to suspension, modification, or termination without right to hearing, if found by the Commission to be necessary in order to conform to the 1992 USA-Mexico FM Broadcast Agreement or if specifically objected to by Mexico's Secretaria de Comunicaciones Y Transportes.'' A filing window for Channel 286C2 at Ehrenberg, Arizona, will not be opened at this time. Instead, the issue of opening a filing window for this channel will be addressed by the Commission in a subsequent order.

DATES: Effective December 8, 2003.

ADDRESSES: Federal Communications Commission, 445 Twelfth Street, SW., Washington, DC 20554.
