#  [Amended]

**AGENCY:**

Federal Communications Commission.

**ACTION:**

Final rule.

**SUMMARY:**

The Audio Division, at the request of Linda Crawford, allots Channel 263C to Fort Stockton, Texas, as the community's second local FM aural transmission service. *See* 68 FR 15141, March 28, 2003. Channel 263C can be allotted to Fort Stockton, in compliance with the Commission's minimum distance separation requirements, provided there is a site restriction of 13.8 kilometers (8.6 miles) southeast of the community. The reference coordinates for Channel 263C at Fort Stockton are 30-50-06 North Latitude and 102-45-06 West Longitude. This document also dismissed a Petition for Rule Making filed by Katherine Pyeatt proposing the allotment of Channel 261C3 at Sanderson, Texas, as that community's first local FM aural transmission service. A filing window for Channel 263C at Fort Stockton, Texas, will not be opened at this time. Instead, the issue of opening a filing window for this channel will be addressed by the Commission in a subsequent order.

**DATES:**

Effective August 4, 2003.

**ADDRESSES:**

Federal Communications Commission, 445 Twelfth Street, SW., Washington, DC 20554.
