                        REPORT AND ORDER
                     (Proceeding Terminated)

   Adopted:  February 26, 1997          Released:  March 7, 1997  

By the Chief, Allocations Branch:

     1.  At the request of Arturo Lopez ("petitioner"), the Commission has before it the Notice of
Proposed Rule Making, 10 FCC Rcd 9374 (1995), proposing the allotment of Channel 228A to
Zapata, Texas.  Petitioner filed comments reiterating his intention to apply for Channel 228A, if
allotted.  No other comments were received. 

     2.  We believe the public interest would be served by the allotment of Channel 228A to
Zapata since it could provide the community with its first local FM service.  Channel 228A can be
allotted to Zapata in compliance with the Commission's minimum distance separation requirements
without the imposition of a site restriction.  Since Zapata is located within 320 kilometers (199
miles) of the U.S. Mexican border, concurrence of the Mexican government has bee obtained for this
allotment. 

     3.  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 April 21, 1997, the FM Table of
Allotments, Section 73.202(b) of the Commission's Rules, IS AMENDED, with respect to the
community listed below, to read as follows:

               City                                     Channel No.

               Zapata, Texas           228A

     4.  The window period for filing applications for Channel 228A at Zapata, Texas, will open
on April 21, 1997, and close on May 22, 1997.

     5.  IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, That this proceeding IS TERMINATED.

     6.  For further information concerning this proceeding, contact Pam Blumenthal, Mass Media
Bureau, (202) 418-2180.
