AGENCY:

Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION:

Final rule.

SUMMARY:

The Commission dismisses the request of Suelou, Inc. to allot Channel 286A to Colony, OK, for: (1) Failure to file comments expressing a continuing interest in the allotment; and (2) provide the requested information to support a finding that it is a community for allotment purposes. See 64 FR 29977, June 4, 1999. The Commission grants the mutually exclusive proposal of Fred R. Morton, Jr. to allot Channel 286A to Weatherford, OK, as the community's second local commercial FM service. Channel 286A can be allotted to Weatherford in compliance with the Commission's minimum distance separation requirements with a site restriction of 3.2 kilometers (2.0 miles) northwest, at coordinates 35-33-02 NL; 98-43-59 WL. A filing window for Channel 286A at Weatherford 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.

Effective April 3, 2000.
