Final rule.

SUMMARY:

In response to a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, 67 FR 71925 (December 3, 2002) this document grants a petition for rulemaking filed by Charles Crawford proposing the allotment of Channel 283A at Encino, Texas, as the community's first local transmission service. Channel 283A is allotted at Encino, Texas, with a site restriction of 6.4 kilometers (4.0 miles) west of the community. Coordinates for Channel 283A at Encino, Texas are 26-55-42 NL and 98-11-56 WL . Since this proposal is within 320 kilometers (199 miles) of the U.S.-Mexico border, concurrence of the Mexican government to the proposed allotment has been requested but not received. Operation with the facilities specified for Encino is subject to modification, suspension, or termination without right to hearing, if found by the Commission to be necessary in order to conform to the 1992 USA-Mexico FM Broadcast Agreement or if specifically objected to by Mexico.
