Channel 289C can be allotted to Dolan Springs with a site restriction of 27 kilometers (17 miles) north, at coordinates 35- 50-00NL; 114-19-00WL, to accommodate Mag Mile's desired transmitter site.

Therefore, if a construction permit is granted prior to receipt of formal concurrence in the allotment by the Mexican Government, the construction permit will include the following condition: ``Operation with the facilities specified herein is subject to modification, suspension or termination without right to a hearing, if found by the Commission to be necessary in order to conform to the USA-Mexico FM Broadcasting Agreement.''
