BILLING CODE 6712-01-P FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION 47 CFR Part 73 [DA 00-1156; MM Docket No. 99-42; RM-9467; RM-9618] Radio Broadcasting Services; Whitefield and Northumberland, NH AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission. ACTION: Final rule. SUMMARY: The Commission, at the request of Dana Puopolo, allots Channel 256A to Whitefield, NH, as the community's first local aural service. *See* 64 FR 7841, February 17, 1999. Channel 256A can be allotted to Whitefield in compliance with the Commission's minimum distance separation requirements with a site restriction of 10.9 kilometers (6.8 miles) northeast, at coordinates 44-27-17 NL; 71-31-36 WL, to avoid a short-spacing to Station WOKO, Channel 255C1, Burlington, VT.
Canadian concurrence in the allotment has been obtained since Whitefield is located within 320 kilometers (200 miles) of the U.S.-Canadian border. The counterproposal filed by Barry P. Lunderville to allot Channel 256A to Northumberland, NH, is denied based on a finding that Northumberland is not a community for allotment purposes. A filing window for Channel 256A at Whitefield will not be opened at this time. Instead, the issue of opening a filing window for this channel will be addressed by the Commission in a subsequent order.
DATES: Effective July 10, 2000. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Leslie K. Shapiro, Mass Media Bureau,
