ACTION: Proposed rule. AGENCY: SUMMARY: This document requests comments on a Petition for Rule Making filed by Nancy C. Harper requesting the allotment of Channel 229C3 at St. Simons Island, Georgia, and a mutually exclusive Petition for Rule Making filed by Murphy Broadcasting requesting the allotment of Channel 229A to St. Simons Island. Either allotment would provide that community with its second local aural transmission service. To accommodate Harper’s requested allotment of Channel 229C3, Harper requests the reclassification of FM Station WOGK, Channel 229C, Ocala, Florida, to specify operation on Channel 229C0 pursuant to the reclassification procedures adopted by the Commission. See 1998 Biennial Regulatory Review— Streamlining of Radio Technical Rules in Parts 73 and 74 of the Commission’s Rules, 65 FR 79773 (December 20, 2000). In response to an Order to Show Cause why Station WOGK should not be downgraded from Channel 229C to 229C0, the licensee of FM Station WOGK stated that it would file an acceptable application meeting minimum Class C FM standards within the period required by our rules. Since the licensee filed an application that was deficient, and since the deficient application filed has been dismissed for failure to prosecute the application, the Commission proposes to reclassify Station WOGK to Class C0. Channel 229C3 can be allotted with a site restriction 16.4 kilometers (10.2 miles) northwest of St. Simons Island, at reference coordinates 31–14–54 NL and 81–29–57 WL. To accommodate the proposed allotment, the Commission proposes the reclassification of FM Station WOGK to specify operation on Channel 229C0. Channel 229A can be allotted to St. Simons Island at reference coordinates of 31–09–01 NL and 81–22– PO 00000 Frm 00014 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 59293 11 WL, if FM Station WOGK is reclassified to specify operation on Channel 229C0. DATES: Comments must be filed on or before November 18, 2005, and reply comments on or before December 5, 2005. Any counterproposal filed in this proceeding need only protect FM Station WOGK, Ocala, Florida, as a Class C0 allotment.

(‘‘Petitioner’’), licensee of Stations KVVA–FM, Apache Junction, Arizona; KDVA(FM), Buckeye, Arizona, and KLNZ(FM), Glendale, Arizona. Petitioner requests that the Commission upgrade Channel 296C3, Station KVVA– FM, to Channel 296C1 and reallot Channel 296C1 from Apache Junction to Peoria, Arizona, as Peoria’s first local aural transmission service; substitute Channel 229C3 for vacant Channel 297C3 at Aguila, Arizona; upgrade Channel 295A, Station KDVA(FM), to Channel 295C3, and reallot Channel 295C3 to Wenden, Arizona, as Wenden’s first local aural transmission service; and reallot Channel 278C, Station KLNZ(FM), from Glendale to Buckeye, Arizona. In addition, since Black Entrepreneur Association, Inc. (‘‘BEA’’) has filed a rulemaking petition to allot Channel 229C3 at Wickenburg, VerDate Aug<31>2005 16:54 Oct 11, 2005 Jkt 208001 Arizona, that is mutually exclusive with Petitioner’s proposal to substitute Channel 229C3 for Channel 297C3 at Aguila, the Commission shall compare BEA’s proposal with Petitioner’s entire proposal to determine which proposal should be granted. The coordinates for proposed Channel 296C1 at Peoria, Arizona, are 33–35–47 NL and 112–05–31 WL, with a site restriction of 13.5 kilometers (8.4 miles) east of Peoria. The coordinates for proposed Channel 229C3 at Aguila, Arizona, are 33–56–34 NL and 113–10– 24 WL. The coordinates for proposed Channel 295C3 at Wenden, Arizona, are 33–49–06 NL and 113–37–46 WL, with a site restriction of 8.2 kilometers (5.1 miles) west of Wenden. The proposed Channel 278C at Buckeye, Arizona, are 33–35–33 NL and 112–34–49 WL, with a site restriction of 24.7 kilometers (15.3 miles) north of Buckeye. Lastly, if BEA’s proposal for Channel 229C3 at Wickenburg, Arizona is preferred over Petitioner’s rulemaking proposal, Channel 229C3 can be allotted to Wickenburg at coordinates of 33–53–49 NL and 112–54–45 WL, with a site restriction of 18.7 kilometers (11.6 miles) southwest of Wickenburg, Arizona.

The Federal Communications Commission granted a license for Station KVVA–FM, Apache Junction, Arizona, specifying operation on Channel 296C3, on May 8, 1997. See File No. BLH–19961025KB. Station KVVA–FM is still operating on Channel 296C3. Nevertheless, 47 CFR 73.202, The FM Table of Allotments, erroneously lists Channel 296C2 as being allotted to Apache Junction, Arizona.

Radio Broadcasting Services; St. Simons Island, GA

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Proposed rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This document requests comments on a Petition for Rule Making 
filed by Nancy C. Harper requesting the allotment of Channel 229C3 at 
St. Simons Island, Georgia, and a mutually exclusive Petition for Rule 
Making filed by Murphy Broadcasting requesting the allotment of Channel 
229A to St. Simons Island. Either allotment would provide that 
community with its second local aural transmission service. To 
accommodate Harper's requested allotment of Channel 229C3, Harper 
requests the reclassification of FM Station WOGK, Channel 229C, Ocala, 
Florida, to specify operation on Channel 229C0 pursuant to the 
reclassification procedures adopted by the Commission. See 1998 
Biennial Regulatory Review--Streamlining of Radio Technical Rules in 
Parts 73 and 74 of the Commission's Rules, 65 FR 79773 (December 20, 
2000). In response to an Order to Show Cause why Station WOGK should 
not be downgraded from Channel 229C to 229C0, the licensee of FM 
Station WOGK stated that it would file an acceptable application 
meeting minimum Class C FM standards within the period required by our 
rules. Since the licensee filed an application that was deficient, and 
since the deficient application filed has been dismissed for failure to 
prosecute the application, the Commission proposes to reclassify 
Station WOGK to Class C0. Channel 229C3 can be allotted with a site 
restriction 16.4 kilometers (10.2 miles) northwest of St. Simons 
Island, at reference coordinates 31-14-54 NL and 81-29-57 WL. To 
accommodate the proposed allotment, the Commission proposes the 
reclassification of FM Station WOGK to specify operation on Channel 
229C0. Channel 229A can be allotted to St. Simons Island at reference 
coordinates of 31-09-01 NL and 81-22-11 WL, if FM Station WOGK is 
reclassified to specify operation on Channel 229C0.

DATES: Comments must be filed on or before November 18, 2005, and reply 
comments on or before December 5, 2005. Any counterproposal filed in 
this proceeding need only protect FM Station WOGK, Ocala, Florida, as a 
Class C0 allotment.

ADDRESSES: Federal Communications Commission, 445 Twelfth Street, SW., 
Washington, DC 20554. In addition to filing comments with the FCC, 
interested parties should serve the petitioners as follows: Nancy C.
