221A to Amherst, NY, as the

community’s first local FM service. See

61 FR 65509, December 13, 1996. The

request of Culver Communications

Corp. to allot Channel 221A to Lockport,

NY, is denied. Channel 221A can be

allotted to Amherst in compliance with

the Commission’s minimum mileage

separation requirements with respect to

all domestic allotments without the

imposition of a site restriction, at

coordinates 42–58–42 North Latitude

and 78–48–00 West Longitude. The

allotment is short-spaced to Channel

219C1, St. Catharines, Ontario,

Channels 221C1/221B, Brantford,

Ontario, and Channel 222B, Oshawa,

Ontario, Canada. However, concurrence

by the Canadian government has been

received in the Amherst allotment as a

specially negotiated sort-spaced

allotment. With this action, this

proceeding is terminated.

DATES: Effective January 20, 1998. A

filing window for Channel 221A at

Amherst, New York, 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.
