 reserving  this  allotment  for  noncommercial  educational  use.  There  are  no  channels  available  in  the 
 reserved  noncommercial  educational  band  (Channel  201A  to  Channel  220A)  and  noncommercial

 educational  service  to  more  than  10%  of  the  population  within  the  proposed  60  dBu  contour.  See

 7386  (2000),  recon.  pending.  This  allotment  will  also  provide  a  first  fulltime  local  service  to  Alamo 
 Community  and  the  Alamo  Navajo  Indian  Reservation.  Inasmuch  as  Alamo  Community  is  located  within 
 320  kilometers  (199  miles)  of  the  U.  S.-  Mexican  border,  we  have  obtained  Mexican  concurrence  for  this 
 allotment. 


 3.  Accordingly,  pursuant  to  Sections  4(  i),  5(  c)(  1),  303(  g)  and  (r)  and  307(  b)  of  the  Communications 
 Act  of  1934,  as  amended,  and  Sections  0.61,  0204(  b)  and  0.283  of  the  Commission’s  Rules,  IT  IS
