Vermont, to Willsboro, New York, and

modifies Station WXPS(FM)’s license

accordingly. See 62 FR 45784, August

29, 1997. In response to a

counterproposal filed by Cartier

Communications, the Commission

substitutes Channel 243C3 for Channel

243A at Malone, New York, and

modifies the license of Station

WVNV(FM) to reflect the higher

powered channel. Both channels can be

allotted in compliance with the

Commission’s minimum distance

separation requirements. Channel 244A

can be allotted to Willsboro with a site

restriction of 5.2 kilometers (3.2 miles)

southeast at coordinates 44–19–20 NL

and 73–21–00 WL. Channel 243C3 can

be allotted with a site restriction of 16.0

kilometers (10.0 miles) northeast at

coordinates 44–54–40 NL and 74–06–40

WL. Since both allotments create shortspacing conflicts to Canadian stations,

we have obtained Canadian approval for

Channel 244A at Willsboro and Channel

243C3 at Malone as specially negotiated

short-spaced allotments. With this

action, this proceeding is terminated.

EFFECTIVE DATE: June 29, 1998.
