Radio Broadcasting Services; Payson, AZ

This document allots Channel 257A to Payson, Arizona, as that community's third local FM transmission service, in response to a petition for rule making filed by Steven D. Bingham. See 62 FR 23426, April 30, 1997. Coordinates used for Channel 257A at Payson, Arizona, are 34-13-54 and 111-20-12. As Payson is located within 320 kilometers (199 miles) of the U.S.-Mexico border, concurrence of the mexican government to this allotment was requested but has not been received. Therefore, Channel 257A has been allotted to Payson with the following interim condition: ''Operation with the facilities specified herein is subject to modification, suspension, or termination without right to a hearing if found by the Commission to be necessary in order to conform to the 1992 USA-Mexico FM Broadcast Agreement'' (''Agreement''). The condition is a temporary measure as we have determined that Channel 257A at Payson complies with the Agreement. Once an official response from the Mexican government has been obtained, the interim condition may be removed. With this action, the proceeding is terminated.
