This Order amends Section 73.202( b) of the Commission's Rules, the Table of FM Allot ment s, to specify the classes of channels allotted to various communities. These amendments are necessary to reflect changes that have been authorized in response to applications filed by licensees and permittees operating on these channels.

However, that change was not published in the Federal Register and the FM Table of Allotments was not changed. We take this opportunity to correct the FM Table of Allotments for Blountstown, Florida. 2 Channel 250C2 was allotted to Garapan, Saipan, in MM Docket No. 87- 254. See 53 FR 41171, October 20, 1988. Since it appears that Channel 250C2 was inadvertently removed from the FM Table of Allotments for this community, we take this opportunity to correct the Table as well as amending the Table to reflect the current class of channel. 3
