This document amends the Table of FM Allotments, of the Federal Communications Commission's (Commission) rules, by substituting Channel 277A for vacant Channel 221A at Hamilton, Alabama; Channel 261B1 for vacant Channel 261B at Coalinga, California; Channel 289A for vacant Channel 291A at Rocksprings, Texas; Channel 261A for vacant Channel 221A at Silverton, Texas; and Channel 281C2 for vacant Channel 260C2 at Spur, Texas. The existing vacant FM channels are not in compliance with the minimum distance separation requirements of the Federal Communications Commission (Commission) rules, and vacant Channel 261B at Coalinga is also not in compliance with the city-grade coverage requirements of the Commission's rules. The window period for filing applications for these vacant FM allotments will not be opened at this time. Instead, the issue of opening these allotments for filing will be addressed by the Commission in subsequent order. See Supplementary Information.
