Radio Broadcasting Services; Susquehanna and Hallstead, PA

The Commission, at the request of Tammy M. Celenza, allots Channel 227A at Susquehanna, Pennsylvania, as the community's second local FM transmission service. See 65 FR 12155, March 8, 2000. We also dismiss the counterproposal filed by Montrose Broadcasting Corporation to allot Channel 227A at Hallstead, Pennsylvania, as the community's first local aural transmission service as being technically defective. Channel 227A can be allotted at Susquehanna in compliance with the Commission's minimum distance separation requirements with a site restriction of 6.3 kilometers (3.9 miles) east to avoid a short-spacing to the licensed sites of WBZD-FM, Channel 227B1, Muncy, Pennsylvania, and Station WKXZ(FM), Channel 230B, Norwich, New York. The coordinates for Channel 227A at Susquehanna are 41-55-44 North Latitude and 75-31- 50 West Longitude. See Supplementary Information, infra.
