Radio Broadcasting Services; Alamogordo, NM

The Commission, at the request of Burt Broadcasting, Inc., allots Channel 300A to Alamogordo, NM, as the community's fourth local commercial FM service. See 61 FR 37715, July 19, 1996. Channel 300A can be allotted to Alamogordo in compliance with the Commission's minimum distance separation requirements with a site restriction of 13.8 kilometers (8.6 miles) north, at coordinates 33-01-26 North Latitude and 105-58-26 West Longitude, to avoid a short-spacing to vacant and unapplied-for Channel 300C at Balderas, Chihuahua, Mexico. Alamogordo is located within 320 kilometers (199 miles) of the U.S.-Mexican border. Mexican concurrence in the allotment was requested in October, 1996, but has not yet been received. In light of the prolonged pendency of this proceeding, yet in an effort to introduce a new FM service to Alamogordo, we shall grant the proposal with the following condition: ``Operation with the facilities specified herein is subject to modification, suspension, or termination without right to hearing, if found by the Commission to be necessary in order to conform to the 1992 USA-Mexico FM Broadcast Agreement.'' With this action, this proceeding is terminated.
