FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

47 CFR Part 73

[DA 04-2914; MB Docket No. 04-362; RM-11066]

 
Radio Broadcasting Services; Olustee, OK

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: This document requests comments on a petition for rulemaking 
filed by Charles Crawford requesting the allotment of Channel 252A at 
Olustee, Oklahoma as that community's first local service. The 
coordinates for Channel 252A at Olustee are 34-33-00 NL and 99-24-00 
WL. There is a site restriction 2.0 kilometers (1.3 miles) east of the 
community. To accommodate the proposal, petitioner requests that the 
coordinates for vacant Channel 253C3 at Wellington, Texas be modified 
to 34-53-00 NL and 100-18-00 WL with a site restriction 8.5 kilometers 
(5.3 miles) west of the community. Petitioner also indicates that the 
required spacing separations are met due to the fact that Channel 253C 
is no longer allotted to Elk City, Oklahoma and Channel 251C1 is no 
longer allotted to Lawton, Oklahoma pursuant to Crowell, Texas et al., 
19 FCC Rcd 5347 (MB 2004).

DATES: Comments must be filed on or before November 8, 2004, and reply 
comments on or before November 23, 2004.
