Radio Broadcasting Services; Sells, AZ

This document grants a petition filed by Rural Pima Broadcasting proposing the allotment of Channel 285 at Sells, Arizona, as its first local aural broadcast service. See 67 FR 78401, published December 24, 2002. This document also denies a counterproposal filed by Lakeshore Media, LLC proposing to substitute Channel 285C3 for Channel 285C2 at Willcox, and reallot Channel 285C3 from Willcox to Davis- Monthan Air Force Base, Arizona ("Davis-Monthan AFB"), as a first local aural transmission service. Lakeshore's counterproposal also included the allotment of Channels 283C2 and 245C2 at Willcox to provide service to unserved and underserved areas created by the reallotment of Channel 285C3 from Willcox to Davis-Monthan AFB. Channel 285A can be allotted at Sells at a site 9.3 kilometers (5.8 miles) south of the community at coordinates 31-49-44 NL and 111-53-28 WL. This site has received concurrence from the government of Mexico as a specially negotiated restricted allotment limited to 1.1 kW ERP and 100 m HAAT or the equivalent along the 123.2 degree azimuth toward Station XHNI(FM) Channel 286B, Nogales, Sonora, Mexico.
