Radio Broadcasting Services; Marceline, MO, Fair Haven, VT

The Commission requests comments on two petitions for rule making requesting FM channel allotments at Marceline, MO, and Fair Haven, VT. Channel 256A can be allotted to Marceline in compliance with the Commission's minimum distance separation requirements with a site restriction of 7.2 kilometers (4.5 miles) northeast, at coordinates 39- 44-42 NL; 92-52-33 WL, to avoid a short-spacing to Station KQRC-FM, Channel 255C, Leavenworth, Kansas. Channel 223A can be allotted to Fair Haven in compliance with the Commission's minimum distance separation requirements, with respect to all domestic allotments, without the imposition of a site restriction at coordinates 43-35-41 NL; 73-15-58 WL. Fair Haven is located within 320 kilometers (200 miles) of the U.S.-Canadian border and the allotment, at the proposed coordinates, will result in a 29.1 kilometer short-spacing to Station CFQR-FM, Channel 223C1, Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Therefore, concurrence by the Canadian Government in the allotment, as a specially negotiated short- spaced allotment, must be obtained.
