Radio Broadcasting Services; Saranac Lake and Westport, NY

The Commission, at the request of Dana Puopolo, allots Channel 296A to Saranac Lake, NY, as the community's third local FM service. See 64 FR 14422, March 25, 1999. At the request of Westport Broadcasting, the Commission substitutes Channel 275A for Channel 273A at Westport, NY, and modifies the license of Station WCLX to specify the alternate Class A channel. Channel 296A can be allotted to Saranac Lake in compliance with the Commission's minimum distance separation requirements, with respect to all domestic allotments, without the imposition of a site restriction, at coordinates 44-19-48 NL; 74-08-00 WL. Channel 275A can be allotted to Westport in compliance with the Commission's minimum distance separation requirements, with respect to all domestic allotments, with a site restriction of 4.6 kilometers (2.9 miles) northeast, at coordinates 44-13-16 NL; 73-24-42 WL, to accommodate WB's desired transmitter site. Both Saranac Lake and Westport are located within 320 kilometers (200 miles) of the U.S.- Canadian border and thus Canadian concurrence in the allotments is required. See Supplementary Information.
