SUMMARY: This document sets forth a 

proposal to amend the FM Table of 

Allotments, Section 73.202(b) of the 

Commission’s rules, 47 CFR 73.202(b). 

The Commission requests comment on 

a petition filed by Prescott Valley 

Broadcasting Company, Inc. Petitioner 

proposes the substitution of FM 

Channel 247B for vacant Channel 239B 

at Blythe, California. The purpose of the 

requested channel substitution at Custer 

is to accommodate Petitioner’s pending 

application to operate as a full-spaced 

Class C3 channel at Parker, Arizona. 

Channel 247B can be allotted at Blythe 

in compliance with the Commission’s 

minimum distance separation 

requirements with a site restriction of 1 

km (.61 miles) northeast of Blythe. The 

proposed coordinates for Channel 247B 

at Blythe are 33–37–02 North Latitude 

and 114–35–20 West Longitude. 

Concurrence by the Government of 

Mexico is required for the allotment of 

Channel 247B at Blythe, California, 

because the proposed allotment is 

located within 320 kilometers (200 

miles) of the U.S.-Mexican border. See 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION infra. 

DATES: Comments must be filed on or 

before September 22, 2008, and reply
