 REPORT  AND  ORDER  (Proceeding  Terminated) 
 Adopted:  April  2,  2004  Released:  April  5,  2004 
 By  the  Assistant  Chief,  Audio  Division: 
 1.  In  response  to  a  petition  filed  by  Katherine  Pyeatt  (“  Petitioner”),  the  Commission  has  before  it  for  consideration  the  Notice  of  Proposed  Rulemaking,  1  requesting  the  allotment  of  Channel  224C2  at  Sheffield, 
 Texas,  as  the  community’s  first  local  FM  transmission  service.  Petitioner  filed  comments  supporting  the  allotment  of  Channel  224C2  at  Sheffield,  Texas.  No  other  comments  were  received. 


 2.  We  believe  the  public  interest  would  be  served  by  allotting  Channel  224C2  to  Sheffield,  Texas.  Sheffield  is  a  community  for  allotment  purposes,  deserving  of  a  local  transmission  service.  Channel  224C2 
 can  be  allotted  to  Sheffield  in  compliance  with  the  minimum  distance  separation  requirements  of  the  Commission’s  Rules  with  a  site  restriction  of  15.7  kilometers  (9.8  miles)  south  of  Sheffield  at  30-  33-  15  NL 
 and  101-  52-  09  WL.  The  Mexican  government  has  concurred  in  this  allotment.  2 
 3.  A  filing  window  for  Channel  224C2  at  Sheffield,  Texas,  will  not  be  opened  at  this  time.  Instead,  the  issue  of  opening  this  allotment  for  auction  will  be  addressed  by  the  Commission  in  a 
 subsequent  order. 
 4.  Accordingly,  pursuant  to  the  authority  contained  in  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,  0.204(  b)  and  0.283  of  the 
 Commission’s  Rules,  IT  IS  ORDERED,  That  effective  May  20,  2004,  the  FM  Table  of  Allotments,  Section  73.202(  b)  of  the  Commission’s  Rules,  IS  AMENDED  for  the  community  listed  below,  as 
 follows: 


 1  Encinal,  Texas,  and  Sheffield,  Texas,  17  FCC  Rcd  22,520  (MB  2002).

 border.  Concurrence  was  received  on  March  8,  2004.
