Radio Broadcasting Services; Stanfield, OR

AGENCY:

Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION:

Final rule; petition for reconsideration.

SUMMARY:

This document grants the petition for reconsideration filed by Luella Hoskins against our action in the Report and Order, 64 FR 41899, August 2, 1999, which dismissed her petition to allot Channel 241C3 to Stanfield, OR, for failure to file a statement of continuing interest. This document also allots Channel 241C3 to Stanfield, OR, as the community's first local aural service. Channel 241C3 can be allotted to Stanfield in compliance with the Commission's minimum distance separation requirements with a site restriction of 17.3 kilometers (10.7 miles) southwest, at coordinates 45-40-40 NL; 119-23-01 WL, to avoid a short-spacing to Station KNLT, Channel 239C, Walla Walla, WA, and to Station KRCW, Channel 242C2, Royal City, WA. A filing window for Channel 241C3 at Stanfield, OR, 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.

DATES:

Effective March 17, 2000.
