FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

47 CFR Part 73

[MM Docket No. 93-191, RM-8088; FCC 99-162]

Radio Broadcasting Services; Pueblo, Colorado

ACTION: Affirmation of denial of petition for rulemaking.

SUMMARY: This document affirms the Federal Communications Commission's earlier decisions denying a petition for rulemaking in this proceeding, Report and Order, 60 FR 37041 (July 19, 1995) and Memorandum Opinion and Order, 62 FR 84 (January 2, 1997). This action is taken in response to the order of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit remanding for further consideration our prior decision denying the exchange of channels, Sangre de Cristo Communications, Inc. v. FCC, 139 F.3d 953 (D.C. Cir. 1998).

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Shaun Maher, Mass Media Bureau, 202- 418-1600.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is a synopsis of the Memorandum Opinion and Order on Remand in MM Docket No. 93-191, adopted July 2, 1999, and released July 7, 1999, wherein the Commission affirmed the prior denial of a petition for rulemaking proposing a channel exchange between television licensees in the Pueblo, Colorado, television market. The Commission found that the public interest benefits to be derived from the channel exchange proposal were too small to outweigh the greater loss of service that would result. The full text of this decision is available for inspection and copying during normal business hours in the FCC's Reference Information Center at Portals II, CY-A257, 445 12th Street, SW, Washington, DC.
