[DA 99-1668; MM Docket No. 98-223; RM-9340; RM-9481; RM-9482]

 
Radio Broadcasting Services; Cherry Valley, AR; Cotton Plant, AR

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Commission denies a petition for rule making filed by 
ALALATEX Broadcasters, proposing the allotment of FM Channel 257A to 
Cherry Valley, Arkansas (RM-9340). See 63 FR 69609, December 17, 1998. 
In response to separate counterproposals filed on behalf of Woodruff 
County Broadcasting (RM-9481) and Bobby Caldwell (RM-9482), the 
Commission allots Channel 257A to Cotton Plant, Arkansas. Our 
determination was reached after comparatively evaluating each proposal. 
That analysis revealed that each community receives at least five full-
time aural reception services. Therefore, Cotton Plant was preferred as 
it is the larger community. Coordinates used for Channel 257A at Cotton 
Plant are 34-55-32 NL and 91-09-32 WL. With this action, the proceeding 
is terminated.

DATES: Effective October 4, 1999.
