Television Broadcasting Services; San Bernardino and Long Beach, CA

This document requests comments on a petition for rule making filed on behalf of KSLS, Inc., licensee of Station KSCI(TV), Channel 18, San Bernardino, California, requesting the reallotment of Channel 18 from San Bernardino to Long Beach, California, as that community's first local television transmission service and modification of its authorization accordingly, pursuant to the provisions of Sec. 1.420(i) of the Commission's Rules. Coordinates used for Channel 18 at Long Beach are 34-11-15 and 117-41-54. Although Long Beach is located within 320 kilometers (199 miles) of the United States-Mexico border, concurrence of the Mexican government to this proposal is not required based upon the proposed retention of the existing channel and transmitter site of Station KSCI(TV). Rather, if the reallotment proposal is granted, the Mexican government will be advised of the change to the TV Table of Allotments at the conclusion of the proceeding. Although the Commission has imposed a freeze on the TV Table of Allotments in certain metropolitan areas, including Los Angeles, the freeze is not applicable to changes requested by existing stations.
