Radio Broadcasting Services; DeRidder, DeQuincy, and Merryville, LA, and Newton, TX

In response to a Notice of Proposed Rule Making, 67 FR 16350 (April 5, 2002) this document reallots Channel 221C3 from DeRidder, Louisiana, to DeQuincy, Louisiana and provides DeQuincy with its first local aural transmission service. The coordinates for Channel 221C3 at Dequincy are 30-26-54 North Latitude and 93-26-37 West Longitude. The initial rulemaking request to reallot Channel 221C3 from DeRidder to Merryville, Louisiana, was superseded by a counterproposal to reallot Channel 221C3 from De Ridder to DeQuincy, Louisiana. A portion of that counterproposal, which proposed the allotment of Channel 224A to Newton, Texas, was rejected for failure to provide city-grade coverage of the entire town of Newton.
