FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

47 CFR Part 73

[DA 99-1424; MM Docket No.99-52; RM-9455]


Radio Broadcasting Services; Liberty, PA

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Commission, at the request of West Wind Broadcasting, 
allots Channel 298A at Liberty, Pennsylvania, as the community's first 
local aural transmission service. See 64 FR 8786, February 23, 1999. 
Channel 298A can be allotted to Liberty in compliance with the 
Commission's minimum distance separation requirements with a site 
restriction of 11.2 kilometers (6.9 miles) southwest to avoid a short-
spacing to the licensed site of Station WBYN(FM), Channel 298B, 
Boyertown, Pennsylvania. The coordinates for Channel 298A at Liberty 
are 41-29-28 North Latitude and 77-12-22 West Longitude. Since Liberty 
is located within 320 kilometers (200 miles) of the U.S.-Canadian 
border, concurrence of the Canadian government has been obtained. With 
this action, this proceeding is terminated.

EFFECTIVE DATE: September 7, 1999. The window period for filing 
applications for Channel 298A at Liberty, Pennsylvania, 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.
