SUMMARY: This document sets forth two 

proposals to amend the FM Table of 

Allotments, Section 73.202(b) of the 

Commission’s rules, 47 CFR 73.202(b). 

The Commission requests comment on 

a petition filed by Results Broadcasting 

of Iron Mountain, Inc. Petitioner 

proposes the allotment of Channel 

280C2 at Crystal Falls, Michigan, as a 

third local FM allotment. Channel 

280C2 can be allotted at Crystal Falls in 

compliance with the Commission’s 

minimum distance separation

of Crystal Falls. The proposed

Crystal Falls are 45–57–22 North 

Latitude and 88–33–46 West Longitude. 

The proposed allotment is located 

within 320 kilometers (199 miles) of the 

United States-Canada border, so it will 

be necessary to obtain concurrence in 

the allotment from the Government of 

Canada. See SUPPLEMENTARY

INFORMATION infra.

DATES: Comments must be filed on or 

before November 15, 2004, and reply 

comments on or before November 30,

The Commission further requests 

comment on a petition filed by Results

Petitioner proposes the allotment of 

Channel 272C3 at Laona, Wisconsin, as 

a first local allotment. Channel 272C3 

can be allotted at Laona in compliance 

with the Commission’s minimum 

distance separation requirements with a 

site restriction of 11.1 kilometers (6.9 

miles) north of Laona. The proposed 

coordinates for Channel 272C3 at Laona 

are 45–39–30 North Latitude and 88–

43–20 West Longitude. The proposed 

allotment is located within 320 

kilometers (199 miles) of the United 

States-Canada border, so it will be 

necessary to obtain concurrence in the 

allotment from the Government of 

Canada. 

The Provisions of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act of 1980 do not apply to 

this proceeding. Members of the public 

should note that from the time a Notice 

of Proposed Rule Making is issued until 

the matter is no longer subject to 

Commission consideration or court 

review, all ex parte contacts are 

prohibited in Commission proceedings, 

such as this one, which involve channel 

allotments. See 47 CFR 1.1204(b) for 

rules governing permissible ex parte

contacts.
