                    (Proceeding Terminated)

   Adopted:  March 12, 1997                  Released:  March 21, 1997    

  By the Chief, Allocations Branch:
  
  
  1.  This Order amends Section 73.202(b) of the Commission's Rules, the Table of FM
  Allotments, to specify the classes of channels allotted to various communities.  These amendments
  are necessary to reflect changes that have been authorized in response to applications filed by
  licensees and permittees operating on these channels.  This action is taken pursuant to Revision
  of Section 73.3573(a)(1) of the Commission's Rules concerning the Lower Classification of an FM
  Allotment, 4 FCC Rcd 2413 (1989), and the Amendment of the Commission's Rules to Permit FM
  Channel and Class Modifications [Upgrades] by Application, 8 FCC Rcd 4735 (1993).  The
  attached Appendix shows the Table, as amended, for those communities.
  
  2.  This action constitutes an editorial change in the Table of Allotments.  Therefore, we find
  for good cause that a public notice and comment proceeding is unnecessary.  See 5 U.S.C.
  553(b)(A) and (B).
