                        REPORT AND ORDER
                     (Proceeding Terminated)

    Adopted:  July 3, 1997  Released:  July 11, 1997  

By the Chief, Allocations Branch:

     1.  At the request of Donald Law ("petitioner"), the Commission has before it the Notice of
Proposed Rule Making, 12 FCC Rcd 3720 (1997), proposing the allotment of Channel 242C3 to
Riley, Kansas.  Petitioner filed comments  reiterating his intention to apply for Channel 242C3, if
allotted.  No other comments were received.  

     2.  We believe the public interest would be served by the allotment of Channel 242C3 to
Riley since it could provide the community with its first local aural transmission service.  Channel
242C3 can be allotted to Riley in compliance with the Commission's minimum separation
requirements with a site restriction of 12.7 kilometers (7.9 miles) east in order to avoid a short-
spacing conflict with the vacant allotment of Channel 242C3 at Cawker City, Kansas.

     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 August 25, 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.

          Riley, Kansas242C3

     4.  The window period for filing applications for Channel 242C3 at Riley will open on
August 25, 1997, and close on September 25, 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.
