FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
47 CFR Part 73

[MM Docket No. 96-75; RM-8781]


Radio Broadcasting Services; Reynoldsville, PA

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Commission requests comments on a petition filed by 
Priority Communications, Inc. seeking the substitution of Channel 293A 
for Channel 258A at Reynoldsville, PA, and the modification of Station 
WDSN(FM)'s license to specify the alternate Class A channel. The 
modification of Station WDSN(FM)'s license to Channel 293A could enable 
the station to increase its power from 3 kW to 6 kW. Channel 293A can 
be allotted to Reynoldsville in compliance with the Commission's 
minimum distance separation requirements and can be used at Station 
WDSN(FM)'s present transmitter site, at coordinates 41-08-41 NL and 78-
52-41 WL. Competing expressions of interest in use of Channel 293A at 
Reynoldsville will not be accepted since the provisions of Section 
1.420(g) do not apply in cases where no change in the class of the 
channel is proposed. Canadian concurrence in the allotment is required 
since Reynoldsville is located within 320 kilometers (200 miles) of the 
U.S.-Canadian border.

DATES: Comments must be filed on or before June 10, 1996, and reply 
comments on or before June 25, 1996.

ADDRESSES: Federal Communications Commission, Washington, DC 20554. In 
addition to filing comments with the FCC, interested parties should
