**REPORT AND ORDER**

**(Proceeding Terminated)**

**Adopted: October 11, 2006 Released: October 13, 2006**

By the Assistant Chief, Audio Division, Media Bureau:

1\. The Audio Division has before it *Notice of Proposed Rule
Making*,[^1] specified below, setting forth two separate proposals to
allot an FM channel to a specific community. Each petitioner filed
comments in support of its proposal reaffirming its intention to apply
for the specified channel, if allotted. Each proposal complies with all
Commission technical requirements and we continue to believe that each
proposal would serve the public interest. Accordingly, we adopt each
proposal as originally proposed. These are as follows:

**A. [MB Docket No. 05-14, RM-11088]{.underline}**

**Action:** At the request of Mikel Chavez, we are allotting Channel
293C2 at Powers, Oregon, as the community's first local aural
transmission service.

**Coordinates:** The reference coordinates for Channel 293C2 at Powers
are 42-53-01 North Latitude and 124-04-19 West Longitude.

**Additional Information**: The allotment is located at city reference
coordinates and requires no site restriction.

**FCC Contact**: Sharon P. McDonald (202) 418-2180.

**B. [MB Docket No. 05-15, RM-11148]{.underline}**

**Action:** At the request of Jeraldine Anderson, we are allotting
Channel 292A at Zapata, Texas, as the community's fourth local FM
transmission service.

**Coordinates**: The reference coordinates for Channel 292A at Zapata
are 26-49-57 North Latitude and 99-14-25 West Longitude.

**Additional Information**: This allotment requires a site restriction
of 9.0 kilometers (5.6 miles) south to avoid a short-spacing to the
licensed site for Station KPSO-FM, Channel 292A, Falfurria, Texas.
Because Zapata is located within 320 kilometers (199 miles) of the
U.S.-Mexican border, concurrence of the Mexican government has been
obtained.

**FCC Contact**: Sharon P. McDonald (202) 418-2180.

2\. Accordingly, pursuant to the authority found 47 U.S.C. Sections
4(i), 5(c)(1), 303(g) and (r) and 307(b) and 47 C.F.R. Sections 0.61,
0.204(b) and 0.283, IT IS ORDERED, That effective, November 27, 2006,
the FM Table of Allotments, 47 C.F.R. Section 73.202(b), IS AMENDED,
with respect to the communities listed below, to read as follows:

> [Community]{.underline} [Channel No.]{.underline}

Powers, Oregon 293C2

Zapata, Texas 228C3,[^2] 274A, 280A, 292A

3\. The Commission will send a copy of this *Report and Order* in a
report to be sent to Congress and the Government Accountability Office
pursuant to the Congressional Review Act. *See* 5 U.S.C. §801(a)(1)(A).

4\. The window period for filing applications for these allotments will
not be opened at this time. Instead, the issue of opening these
allotments for auction will be addressed by the Commission in a
subsequent order.

5.  IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, That the aforementioned proceedings ARE
    TERMINATED.

6\. For further information concerning a specific docket, contact the
FCC Contact listed above for that docket.

Assistant Chief

Audio Division

Media Bureau

[^1]: *Powers, Oregon, Zapata Texas*, Notice of Proposed Rule Making, 20
    FCC Rcd 1267 (MB 2006).

[^2]: We note that Channel 228A is erroneously listed in the FM Table of
    Allotments. Pursuant to a one-step application (File No.
    BMPH-19981230IF) filed by Station KBAW(FM), Channel 228A was
    modified on December 30, 1999 to Channel 228C3 at Zapata, Texas.
    Accordingly, the FM Table of Allotments should be amended to reflect
    that Channel 228A has been removed. This action constitutes an
    editorial change in the FM Table of Allotments. Therefore, we find
    for good cause that a public notice and comment proceeding is
    unnecessary. *See* 5 U.S.C. §553(b)(A) and (B).
