While the Commission endeavors to allot the least restrictive channel possible to a  Fycommunity, we are guided by the overall public interest benefits to be attained by the proposal  Funder consideration. In this instance, we believe that Channel 227C2 is equivalent to  FkChannel 283C2 or 284C2 for allotment purposes. The Commission considers channels to be  F\equivalent provided they are of the same class distinction, would comply with the minimum  F{spacing criteria, and would enable a broadcast facility to provide 70 dBu coverage to the  X - FLproposed allotment community. See Vero Beach, Florida, 3 FCC Rcd 1049 (1988), rev. denied,  X - F{4 FCC Rcd 2184, 2185 (1989). Although we would consider other pertinent factors which  F!might preclude a finding of channel equivalency, such as environmental effects, zoning  Fconsiderations, or aeronautical hazards which would prevent a station from constructing on a  Fjparticular channel, Coleman has not presented documented information to indicate that any of  F[the enumerated considerations are present within the area designated to accommodate a tower  Ffor Channel 227C2 at Nikiski, or demonstrated that the site restriction would reduce the  X!- Fpotential population coverage to be served by a station operating thereon vis`avis other Class  FC2 channels. Accordingly, as Coleman has not established that the site restriction attached  Fto Channel 227C2 would lessen greatly the flexibility of potential applicants to obtain a  FNsuitable transmitter site and to operate consistent with the technical requirements of the  F\Commission's Rules, the alleged superiority of either Channel 283C2 or 284C2 has not been demonstrated.  5. In consideration of the above, we will allot Channel 227C2 to Nikiski based upon  Fthe interests expressed in providing a first local aural transmission service to that community.  XT- F!As stated in the Notice, Channel 227C2 can be allotted to Nikiski in conformity with the  Fminimum distance separation requirements of Section 73.207(b)(1) of the Commission's Rules,  F0provided the transmitter therefor is located at least 11 kilometers (6.8 miles) south of the  Fkcommunity at coordinates 603540 and 1512000. The site restriction is required to avoid a  Fshortspacing to the allotment reference site for Channel 225C, Anchorage, Alaska, at",-(-(ZZ"  X-coordinates 611306 and 1495330.xn yOy-ЍWe note that Station KWQJ(FM) has been issued a construction permit for Channel 225C at Anchorage at coordinates 612105 and 1492910 (File No. BPH860102MM), and has filed an application to downgrade Station KWQJ(FM) to operate on Channel 225C2 at coordinates 610813 and 1495006 (File No. BMPH951018IE). Neither of the reference sites specified for Station KWQJ(FM) requires the site restriction on the proposed allotment of Channel 227C2 at Nikiski. Therefore, once a license has been issued for Station KWQJ(FM) at a nonconflicting site at Anchorage, the site restriction specified herein for Channel 227C2 at Nikiski may be reevaluated at the application stage.   6. Accordingly, pursuant to the authority contained in Sections 4(i), 5(c)(1), 303(g) and  F(r) and 307(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and Sections 0.61, 0.204(b)  Fand 0.283 of the Commission's Rules, IT IS ORDERED, That effective April 7, 1997, the FM  FkTable of Allotments, Section 73.202(b) of the Commission's Rules, IS AMENDED to include Nikiski, Alaska, as follows:  XH- N N City"VVJrChannel No.  X - N N Nikiski, Alaska VVJr 227C2 7. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, That the above proceeding IS TERMINATED.!!  8. The window period for filing applications for Channel 227C2 at Nikiski, Alaska, will open on April 7, 1997, and close on May 8, 1997.  Xy- 2 9.
