Radio Broadcasting Services; Hilton,

NY

AGENCY: Federal Communications

Commission.

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: The Commission requests

comments on a petition filed by Alan

Bishop d/b/a Hilton Broadcasting

seeking the allotment of Channel 238A

to Hilton, NY, as the community’s first

local aural transmission service.

Channel 238A can be allotted to Hilton

in compliance with the Commission’s

minimum distance separation

requirements with a site restriction of

1.9 kilometer (1.2 miles) north, at

coordinates 43–18–15 NL; 77–47–56

WL, to avoid a short-spacing to Station

WNVE, Channel 236B, South Bristol

Township, NY. Hilton is located within

320 kilometers (200 miles) of the U.S.-

Canadian border. Further, the allotment

will result in a short-spacing to Stations

CKDS-FM, Channel 237C1, Hamilton,

Ontario, Canada, and CJBC1F, Channel

238C1, Belleville, Ontario, Canada.

However, petitioner states that it will

apply for and operate the station with a

directional antenna so as to avoid

causing interference over Canadian land

area. Therefore, we will request

Canadian concurrence in the allotment

as a specially negotiated allotment.

DATES: Comments must be filed on or

before July 29, 1996, and reply

comments on or before August 13, 1996.
