comment on two petitions proposing
new allotments at Steamboat Springs,
Colorado and Victoria, Texas. Dana J.
Puopolo filed a petition proposing the
allotment of Channel 289A at Steamboat
Springs, Colorado, as its third FM
commercial broadcast service. Channel
289A can be allotted to Steamboat
Springs in compliance with the
Commission’s minimum distance
separation requirements with a site
restriction of 6.1 kilometers (3.8 miles)

reference coordinates for Channel 289A
at Steamboat Springs are 40–30–00 NL
and 106–54–00 WL. The Audio Division
requests comments on a petition filed by
Katherine Pyeatt proposing the
allotment of Channel 290A at Victoria,
Texas, as the community’s sixth FM
commercial broadcast service. Channel
290A can be allotted to Victoria in
compliance with the Commission’s
minimum distance separation
requirements with a site restriction of
8.1 kilometers (5.0 miles) north to avoid
a short-spacing to the license site of FM
Station KVIC, Channel 236C3, Victoria,
Texas. See BLH–2000501ACB. The
reference coordinates for Channel 290A
at Victoria are 28–52–40 NL and 96–59–

does not contain proposed information
collection requirements subject to the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
Public Law 104–13. In addition,
therefore, it does not contain any
proposed information collection burden
‘‘for small business concerns with fewer
than 25 employees,’’ pursuant to the
Small Business Paperwork Relief Act of
2002, Public Law 107–198, see 44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(4).
To accommodate the proposed
Victoria allotment it is necessary to
relocate the reference coordinates for
vacant Channel 291A at Refugio, Texas.
The proposed new site for Channel
291A at Refugio, 28–20–00 NL and 97–
23–45 WL, is in compliance with the
Commission’s spacing requirements.
This site is 12.3 kilometers (7.6 miles)
west of the community, whereas the
original site for Channel 291A at
Refugio is 8.1 kilometers (5.0 miles)
northwest of the community. The
existing coordinates for the vacant
Channel 291A at Refugio are 28–21–58
NL and 97–19–11 WL. Petitioner is
required to provide the public interest
benefits that could be derived from the
site change of the vacant allotment at
Refugio. We further seek any additional
comments with regards to this proposal.
Both allotments are located within 320
kilometers (199 miles) of the U.S.Mexican border, Mexican concurrence
has been requested for these allotments.
Provisions of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act of 1980 do not apply to
this proceeding. Members of the public
should note that from the time a Notice
