 REPORT  AND  ORDER  (Proceeding  Terminated) 


 Adopted:  June  7,  2006  Released:  June  9,  2006 
 By  the  Assistant  Chief,  Audio  Division,  Media  Bureau: 
 1.  The  Audio  Division  issued  a  Notice  of  Proposed  Rule  Making  in  response  to  a  Petition  for  Rule  Making  filed  by  Charles  Crawford  (“  Crawford”).  1  The  Notice  proposes  the  allotment  of  Channel  247A  at 
 Garwood,  Texas,  as  a  first  local  aural  transmission  service.  Crawford  filed  comments  supporting  the  allotment  of  Channel  247A  at  Garwood  and  reaffirming  his  intention  to  apply  for  the  channel  if  it  is  allotted  and,  if 
 authorized,  to  build  and  operate  a  station  on  that  channel.  No  other  comments  were  received. 
 2.  Garwood  is  a  community  for  allotment  purposes  and  is  deserving  of  a  first  local  service.  We  therefore  find  that  the  public  interest  would  be  served  by  the  allotment  of  Channel  247A  at  Garwood,  Texas. 
 Channel  247A  can  be  allotted  at  Garwood  with  a  site  restriction  of  15.0  km  (9.3  miles)  northwest  of  Garwood.  The  reference  coordinates  for  Channel  247A  at  Garwood  are:  29-  33-  29  NL  and  96-  29-  12  WL.  This 
 allotment  is  subject  to  the  final  outcome  of  MM  Docket  No.  00-  148,  in  which  we  dismissed  proposals  that  conflict  with  the  instant  proposal  for  Garwood.  2 


 3.  The  Commission  will  send  a  copy  of  this  Report  and  Order  in  a  report  to  be  sent  to  Congress  and  the  Government  Accountability  Office  pursuant  to  the  Congressional  Review  Act.  3
