FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

47 CFR Part 73

[DA 01-928; MM Docket No. 00-13, RM-9679]


Radio Broadcasting Services; Aberdeen, Elma and Montesano, WA

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Commission, at joint request of KAYO Broadcasting and 
Marrow, Inc., substitutes Channel 271C2 for Channel 271C3 at Elma, 
reallots Channel 271C2 from Elma to Montesano, Washington, and modifies 
Station KSWW(FM)'s license accordingly. We also reallot Channel 257C1 
from Aberdeen to Elma, as a replacement service, and modify Station 
KAYO-FM's license accordingly. See 65 FR 7816, February 16, 2000. 
Channel 271C2 can be reallotted to Montesano in compliance with the 
Commission's minimum distance separation requirements with a site 
restriction of 14.5 kilometers (9.0 miles) northwest to avoid a short-
spacing to the licensed site of Station KINK-FM, Channel 270C, 
Portland, Oregon. The coordinates for Channel 271C2 at Montesano are 
47-03-44 North Latitude and 123-44-44 West Longitude. See Supplementary 
Information, infra.

DATES: Effective May 29, 2001.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Sharon P. McDonald, Mass Media Bureau, 
(202) 418-2180.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is a synopsis of the Commission's 
Report and Order, MM Docket No. 00-13, adopted April 4, 2001, and 
released April 13, 2001. The full text of this Commission decision is 
available for inspection and copying during normal business hours in 
the FCC Reference Information Center (Room CY-A257), 445 12th Street, 
SW, Washington, DC. The complete text of this decision may also be 
purchased from the Commission's copy contractors, International 
Transcription Service, Inc., (202) 857-3800, 1231 20th Street, NW., 
Washington, DC 20036.
    In addition, Channel 257C1 can be realloted to Elma in compliance 
with the Commission's minimum distance separation requirements with a 
site restriction of 14.5 kilometers (9.0 miles) west to avoid a short-
spacing to the licensed site of Station KWJJ-FM, Channel 258C1, 
Portland Oregon. The coordinates for Channel 257C1 at Elma are 46-57-31 
North Latitude and 123-35-18 West Longitude. The allotment of Channel 
257C1 at Elma is short-spaced to the licensed site of Station CFOX(FM), 
Channel 257C, Vancouver, British Columbia, and to the proposed 
allotment of Channel 258A at Metchosin/Sooke, British Columbia. Also, 
the allotment of Channel 271C2 at Montesano is short-spaced to the 
licensed site of Station CFUV-FM, Channel 270B, Victoria, British 
Columbia, and to the proposed allotment of Channel 269A at Nanaimo, 
British Columbia. Since Elma and Montesano are located within 320 
kilometers (200 miles) of the U.S.-Canadian border, Canadian 
concurrence for Channel 271C2 at Montesano, and for Channel 257C1 at 
Elma, as specially-negotiated, short-spaced allotments, were requested, 
but have not yet been received. Therefore, if a construction permit is 
granted prior to the receipt of formal concurrence by the Canadian 
government for these allotments, the construction permit will include 
the following condition: ``Operation with

[[Page 21680]]

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.''
