Radio Broadcasting Services; Keno, OR

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Commission requests comments on a petition filed by 
Renaissance Community Improvement Association, Inc., seeking the 
allotment of Channel 235A to Keno, OR, as the community's second local 
aural service. The Commission also proposes to allow petitioner to 
amend its pending application (BPED-950206MB) to specify Channel 235A

exclusivity with the pending application of St. Michael's Catholic 
Radio (BPED-950206MH). Channel 235A can be allotted to Keno in 
compliance with the Commission's minimum distance separation 
requirements without the imposition of a site restriction, at 
coordinates 42-07-30 WL; 121-55-42 NL.

DATES: Comments must be filed on or before October 18, 1999, and reply 
comments on or before November 2, 1999.
