FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

47 CFR Part 73

[DA 00-2605; MM Docket No. 00-113; RM-9904; 9952]


Radio Broadcasting Services; Randolph and Little Valley, NY

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Commission, at the request of New Testament Christian 
Ministries and Little Valley Wireless, allots Channel 290A to Little 
Valley, NY, as the community's first local aural service. The 
Commission also dismisses the request of New Testament Christian 
Ministries to allot Channel 290A to Randolph, NY, as its first local 
aural service. See 65 FR 47370, August 2, 2000. Channel 290A can be 
allotted to Little Valley in compliance with the Commission's minimum 
distance separation requirements, with respect to all domestic 
allotments, without the imposition of a site restriction, at 
coordinates 42-15-08 NL; 78-48-20. A filing window for Channel 290A at 
Little Valley 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. See Supplementary Information.

DATES: Effective January 2, 2001.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Leslie K. Shapiro, Mass Media Bureau, 
(202) 418-2180.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is a synopsis of the Commission's 
Report and Order, MM Docket No. 00-113, adopted November 8, 2000, and 
released November 17, 2000. The full text of this Commission decision 
is available for inspection and copying during normal business hours in 
the FCC Reference Center (Room 239), 445 12th Street, SW., Washington, 
DC. The complete text of this decision may also be purchased from the 
Commission's copy contractor, International Transcription Services, 
Inc., (202) 857-3800, 1231 20th Street, NW., Washington, DC 20036.
    Channel 290A can be allotted to Little Valley in compliance with 
the Commission's minimum distance separation requirements, with respect 
to all domestic allotments, without the imposition of a site 
restriction, at coordinates 42-15-08 NL; 78-48-20. The allotment, 
however, is short-spaced to Station CHRE-FM, Channel 289B, St. 
Catherines, Ontario, Canada. Canadian concurrence, as a specially-
negotiated short-spaced allotment was requested in September, 2000, but 
has not yet been received. Little Valley is located within 320 
kilometers (200 miles) of the U.S.-Canadian border. However, rather 
than delay any further the opportunity to file applications for this 
channel, we will allot Channel 290A to Little Valley at this time. If a 
construction permit is granted prior to the receipt of formal 
concurrence in the allotment by the Canadian Government, the 
construction permit will include the following condition: ``Operation 
with the facilities specified herein is subject to modification, 
suspension, or termination without right to hearing, if found by the 
Commission to be necessary in order to conform to the USA-Canadian FM 
Broadcast Agreement.''
