Radio Broadcasting Services; Comobabi, Florence, Oracle, and San Carlos, AZ

This document reallots Channel 276C2 from San Carlos to Florence, Arizona, as a Class C1 channel, and modifies the authorization of Desert West Air Ranchers Corporation for Station KCDX(FM) to specify operation on Channel 276C1 at Florence, pursuant to the provisions of Section 1.420 (g) and (i) of the Commission's Rules, in response to a counterproposal filed by Desert West Air Ranchers (``Desert West'') (RM-8726). See 60 FR 40146, August 7, 1995. The allotment of Channel 276C1 to Florence will provide that community with its first local aural transmission service, and enable Station KCDX(FM) to expand its coverage area. Channel 292A is substituted for Channel 279A at Oracle, Arizona, to accommodate the Florence allotment and modification, and the license of Desert West for Station KLQB(FM), Oracle, is modified accordingly. Additionally, Channel *275A is substituted for vacant Channel *276A at Comobabi, Arizona, as requested by Desert West. Although a proposal to allot a second Class A channel to Oro Valley, Arizona, initiated this proceeding in response to a petition filed by Rita Bonilla (RM-8676), it will be addressed in the context of a Second Report and Order, pending concurrence of the Mexican government thereto. Coordinates used for Channel 276C1 at Florence, Arizona, are 33-03-30 and 110-47-00; coordinates used for Channel 292A at Oracle, Arizona, are 32-37-07 and 110-47-20; coordinates used for Channel *275A at Comobabi, Arizona, are 32-07-30 and 111-53-00. As Florence, Oracle and Comobabi are located within 320 kilometers (199 miles) of the Mexican border, the Commission obtained concurrence of the Mexican government to the allotment proposals at each of those communities. With this action, the proceeding is terminated with regard to RM-8726.
