FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

47 CFR Part 73

[DA 99-1665; MM Docket No. 99-102; RM-9495]

 
Radio Broadcasting Services; Wellton, AZ

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This document allots Channel 240A to Wellton, Arizona, as that 
community's second local FM transmission service in response to a 
petition for rule making filed by L. Topaz Enterprises, Inc. See 64 FR 
17142, April 8, 1999. Coordinates used for Channel 240A at Wellton are 
32-40-18 NL and 114-08-18 WL. As Wellton is located within 320 
kilometers (199 miles) of the U.S.-Mexico border, concurrence of the 
Mexican government to this allotment was requested but has not been 
received. Therefore, Channel 240A has been allotted to Wellton with the 
following interim 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 1992 USA-Mexico FM Broadcast Agreement, or if 
specifically objected to by Mexico.'' The condition is a temporary 
measure as the Commission has determined that Channel 240A at Wellton 
complies with the Agreement. Upon receipt of an official response from 
the Mexican government, the interim condition may be removed. With this 
action, the proceeding is terminated.

DATES: Effective October 4, 1999. A filing window for Channel 240A at 
Wellton, 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.
