## Abstract

This document allots Channel 287A, in lieu of previously proposed Channel 243A, to Durango, Colorado, as that community's fourth local FM service, in response to a petition for rule making filed on behalf of Range Broadcasting Company (RM-8943). See, 62 FR 3854, January 27, 1997. GulfStar Communications New Mexico Licensee, Inc., licensee of Station KDAG(FM), Channel 245C1, Farmington, New Mexico, proposed the allotment of Channel 287A to Durango to eliminate a conflict with its modification application for Station KDAG(FM), pursuant to the Commission's policy of attempting to resolve conflicts between rulemaking petitions and later-filed FM applications. See Conflicts Between Applications and Petitions for Rulemaking to Amend the FM Table of Allotments, 58 FR 38536, July 19, 1993. Additionally, in response to a counterproposal filed on behalf of Four Corners Broadcasting, LLC (RM-9053), Channel 227C2 is allotted to Dolores, Colorado, as that community's first local aural transmission service, instead of requested Channel 243C2, to also eliminate a conflict with GulfStar's modification application at Farmington. Coordinates used for Channel 287A at Durango, Colorado, are 37-15-44 and 107-52-27. Coordinates used for Channel 227C2 at Dolores, Colorado, are 37-28-24 and 108-30-12. With this action, the proceeding is terminated.
