SUMMARY: The Federal Communications

Commission published in the Federal

Register of October 29, 1997, (62 FR

governing the access charges of

2. On page 56132, in the third

80. Section 69.124 is revised to read

as follows:

§ 69.124 Interconnection charge.

(a) Local exchange carriers not subject

to price cap regulation shall assess an

interconnection charge expressed in

dollars and cents per access minute

upon all interexchange carriers and

upon all other persons using the

telephone company switched access

network.

(b) If the use made of the local

exchange carrier’s switched access

network includes the local switch, but

not local transport, the interconnection

charge assessed pursuant to paragraph

(a) of this section shall be computed by

subtracting entrance facilities, tandemswitched transport, direct-trunked

transport, and dedicated signalling

transport revenues, as well as any

interconnection charge revenues that

the local exchange carrier anticipates

will be reassigned to other, facilitiesbased rate elements in the future, from

the part 69 transport revenue

requirement, and dividing by the total

interstate local switching minutes.

(c) If the use made of the local

exchange carrier’s switched access

network includes local transport, the

interconnection charge to be assessed

pursuant to paragraph (a) of this section

shall be computed by dividing any

interconnection charge revenues that

the local exchange carrier anticipates

will be reassigned to other, facilitiesbased rate elements in the future by the

total interstate local transport minutes,

and adding thereto the per minute

amount calculated pursuant to

paragraph (b) of this section.

AGENCY: Federal Communications

Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: The Commission, at the

request of Annette G. Thompson, allots

Channel 295C3 to Franklin, Louisiana,

as the community’s second local FM

service. See 61 FR 44288, August 28,

1996. Channel 295C3 can be allotted in

compliance with the Commission’s

minimum distance separation

requirements without the imposition of

a site restriction. The coordinates for

Channel 295C3 at Franklin are 29–47–

42 NL and 91–30–12 WL. We also

dismiss the counterproposal filed by

White Castle Broadcasting (RM–9057)

requesting the allotment of Channel

295A to White Castle, Louisiana. White

Castle Broadcasting’s counterproposal is

not consistent with the Commission’s

procedural requirements. With this

action, this proceeding is terminated.

EFFECTIVE DATE: January 20, 1998. A

filing window for Channel 295C3 at

Franklin, Louisiana, 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.
