Radio Broadcasting Services; Bunnell and Palm Coast, FL

In response to a Notice of Proposed Rule Making, 67 FR 5961 (February 8, 2002) ("Notice"), this Report and Order allots Channel 254A to Palm Coast, Florida, and provides Palm Coast with its first local aural transmission service. This document also denies a mutually exclusive rulemaking request set forth in the Notice to allot the same channel to Bunnell, Florida. The Commission compared the merits of the two rulemaking proposals pursuant to the Commission's Revision of FM Assignment Policies and Procedures, 90 FCC 2d 88 (1982), and preferred the Palm Coast rulemaking proposal. The coordinates for Channel 254A at Palm Coast are 29-29-38 North Latitude and 81-09-45 West Longitude. This allotment has a site restriction of 11 kilometers (6.8 miles) southeast of Palm Coast.
