The Commission has before it the petition for rule making filed by Ronald A. Murray, d/b/a Murray Broadcasting ("petitioner"), permittee of Channel 249A, Leavenworth, Washington, proposing the substitution of Channel 266A for Channel 249A at Leavenworth  Nx-and the modification of Station KLVH(FM)'s construction permit accordingly.zx N<Ѝ#Xq2x,G;X##&d2PG;&P#On September 7, 1994, Station KLVH(FM) was granted special temporary authority ("STA") (File No. 940822WW) to operate on Channel 266A on program test authority until resolution of the instant rule making proceeding. The STA expires on March 7, 1995.z To accommodate the substitution, petitioner also proposes the downgrade of Channel 248C1 to Channel 248C3 at Othello, Washington, and the substitution of Channel 249A for Channel  N-266A at East Wenatchee, Washington.! N <Ѝ#&d2PG;&P#An application for the assignment of the license for Station KYSN(FM) at East Wenatchee, from Sunbrook Wenatchee, L.P. to Sunbrook Communications has been accepted for filing (File No. BALH941116GT).! Petitioner states his intention to apply for the channel, if allotted.  N-x2. In support of its proposal, petitioner states that pursuant to Report and Order (MM Docket No. 92242, 8 FCC Rcd 850 (1993)), Station KLVH(FM) was issued a construction permit (File No. BPH930423MF) for Channel 249A at Leavenworth, Washington. Petitioner  N -also states that pursuant to Report and Order (MM Docket 91114; 6 FCC Rcd 6476(1991)), Station KYSN(FM)'s license was modified to specify Channel 266A at East Wenatchee, Washington. Petitioner submits that Station KLVH(FM)'s construction permit for Channel"!h0*0*0*F#" 249A at Leavenworth was granted on the assumption that Station KZLNFM would be upgraded from Channel 248C3 to Channel 248C1 at Othello, Washington, and that Station KYSN(FM)'s license would be modified from Channel 249A to Channel 266A in East Wenatachee to accommodate the upgrade. However, petitioner claims that the upgrade was never effectuated and that Station KYSN(FM) has not received reimbursement for costs in changing frequency. In fact, petitioner asserts that although Station KZLNFM's permittee, PNP Broadcasting, Inc. ("PNP"), requested and was granted authority to operate on Channel 248C1, effective December 23, 1991, it did not file an FCC Form 30l for a  M -construction permit for the channel.- ɩ M8<Ѝ#&d2PG;< &P#We note that by letter dated March 26, 1992, Station KZLNFM informed the Commission that it was in the process of gathering information and preparing an application to implement the class C1 upgrade. However, Station KZLNFM was cautioned that although the letter indicates a continuing interest in upgrading, such letters are informational only and do not exempt Station KZLNFM from the possible consequences of continued delay in filing its Form 301 application. - As a result, on June 10, 1993, the Commission sent PNP a letter advising that unless it filed an FCC Form 301 application for a construction permit for Class C1 facilities within 30 days, it could result in PNP being made a party to an allocation rule making seeking to downgrade the allotment. PNP was also notified that the application would take precedent if filed before any conflicting rule making was initiated. If filed after a rule making petition, PNP was informed that the application would be subject to the outcome of the rule making proceeding. PNP did not file a Form 301 to upgrade Station KZLNFM to Class C1 facilities. Therefore, petitioner deems that PNP has abandoned its interest in the Class C1 allotment at Othello. Furthermore, petitioner claims that although Station KYSN(FM)'s license was modified to specify operation on Channel 266A at East Wenatchee, the station is still operating on Channel 249A, thereby precluding petitioner from conducting program tests on Channel 249A at Leavenworth. Petitioner alleges that Station KYSN(FM)'s has not moved to the new channel because of P-N-P's failure to reimburse the station for changing frequency. Therefore, in order to resolve the conflict, petitioner urges the Commission to adopt its proposal. x3. Generally, whenever an existing licensee or permittee is ordered to change frequencies to accommodate a new channel allotment, Commission policy requires the  M-benefitting party, or parties, to reimburse the affected station for costs incurred. See  M-Circleville, Ohio, 8 FCC 2d 159 (1967). Here, petitioner asserts that Station KYSN(FM) has not changed to Channel 266A and is still operating on Channel 249A. Therefore, petitioner states that it is not required to reimburse Station KYSN(FM) for any costs incurred in changing frequency. However, if Station KYSN(FM) can establish costs that directly concern the frequency change, then it could claim reimbursement and petitioner must state its willingness  M -to do so. See Burkesville and Russell Springs, Kentucky, Cookeville and Spencer,  M -Tennessee, 5 FCC Rcd 677 (1990). Petitioner requests that the FM Table of Allotments be" 0*((V"" amended to accurately reflect Channel 249A in lieu of Channel 266A at East Wenatchee. x4. We believe the public interest would be served by proposing the substitution of Channel 266A for Channel 249A at Leavenworth, Washington, and the modification of Station KLVH(FM)'s construction permit accordingly, in order to eliminate the conflict with Station KYSN(FM) at East Wenatchee, and to enable Station KLVH(FM) to commence operation. The Class A station would provide the community with its first local aural transmission service. In order to accommodate the substitution, we also propose the downgrade of Channel 248C1 to Channel 248C3 at Othello, Washington, and the modification of Station KZLNFM's construction permit accordingly; the substitution of Channel 249A for Channel 266A at East Wenatchee, Washington, and the modification of Station KYSN(FM)'s license accordingly. An engineering analysis has determined that Channel 266A can be allotted at Leavenworth in compliance with the Commission's minimum distance separation requirements without the  M -imposition of a site restriction at petitioner's presently authorized site. ɩ M` <Ѝ#&d2PG;< &P#The coordinates for Channel 266A at Leavenworth are North Latitude 473532 and West Longitude 1203835. Additionally, Channel 248C3 can be allotted to Othello in compliance with the Commission's minimum distance  M -separation requirements without the imposition of a site restriction. @ɩ M<Ѝ#&d2PG;< &P#The coordinates for Channel 248C3 at Othello are North Latitude 464555 and West Longitude 1191649. Channel 249A can be allotted to East Wenatchee in compliance with the Commission's minimum distance separation  MX-requirements without the imposition of a site restriction.Xɩ M< x<ԍ#&d2PG;< &P#The coordinates for Channel 249A at East Wenatchee are North Latitude 472252 and West Longitude 1201716. Since Leavenworth, Othello and East Wenatchee are located within 320 kilometers (200 miles) of the U.S.Canadian border, concurrence by the Canadian government has been requested.       5. Accordingly, we will seek comments on the proposed amendment of the FM Table of Allotments, Section 73.202(b) of the Commission's Rules, for the communities listed below, to read as follows:  M- ` `  @hChannel No.  M- City hh@Present pp Proposed x` `  Mx-xLeavenworth, Washingtonhh@249Ahpp 266A  MP-xOthello, Washingtonhh@248C1pp 248C3  xx 0(#(#X  M(- xEast Wenatchee, Washington@266Ahpp 249A x6. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, That pursuant to Section 316(a) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, PNP Broadcasting, Inc, permittee of Station KZLNFM, Othello, Washington, and Sunbrook Wenatchee, L.P., licensee of Station KYSN(FM), East Wenatchee, Washington, SHALL SHOW CAUSE why Station KZLNFM's construction permit and Station KYSN(FM)'s license SHOULD NOT BE MODIFIED to specify"800*(( " operation on Channels 248C3 and 249A, respectively, as proposed herein instead of the present Channels 248C1 and 266A, respectively . x7. Pursuant to Section 1.87 of the Commission's Rules, PNP Broadcasting, Inc. and Sunbrook Wenatchee, L.P., may, not later than March 24, 1995, file a written statement showing with particularity why their license or construction permit should not be modified as  M-proposed in the Order to Show Cause. The Commission may call on PNP Broadcasting, Inc. and/or Sunbrook Wenatchee, L.P., to furnish additional information. If PNP Broadcasting and/or Sunbrook Wenatchee., L.P., raise a substantial and material question of fact, a hearing may be required to resolve such a question pursuant to Section 1.87. Upon review of the statements and/or additional information furnished, the Commission may grant the modification, deny the modification, or set the matter of modification for hearing. If no written statement is filed by the date referred to above, PNP Broadcasting, Inc. and Sunbrook Wenatchee, L.P., will be deemed to have consented to the modification as  M -proposed in the Order to Show Cause and a final Order will be issued by the Commission, if the abovementioned channel modification is ultimately found to be in the public interest.  MX- x8.
