FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

47 CFR Part 73

[DA 99-1839 ; MM Docket No. 97-216; RM-9153]

Radio Broadcasting Services; Berlin and North Conway, NH

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: The Commission, at the request of Fuller-Jeffrey Radio of New England, Inc., reallots Channel 279C from Berlin to North Conway, NH, as the community's first local aural service, and modifies the license of Station WPKQ's license to specify North Conway as its community of license. See 62 FR 54819, October 22, 1997. The Commission found that a waiver of Section 73.207 of the Commission's Rules was warranted in this case since Station WPKQ is a grandfathered short-spaced station with respect to Station WKNE, Channel 279B, Keene, NH, and the allotment will not alter any of the existing short-spacings. Channel 279C can be allotted to North Conway at Station WPKQ's presently licensed transmitter site, 44-16-14 NL; 71-18-15 WL. With this action, this proceeding is terminated.

DATES: Effective October 25, 1999.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Leslie K. Shapiro, Mass Media Bureau, (202) 418-2180.
