                        REPORT AND ORDER
                     (Proceeding Terminated)

   Adopted:  April 16, 1997             Released:  April 25, 1997  

By the Chief, Allocations Branch:

     1.  At the request of Michael Sutcliffe ("petitioner"), the Commission has before it the Notice
of Proposed Rule Making, released October 25, 1996, DA 96-1740, proposing the allotment of
Channel 232C3 to Humboldt, Kansas, as the community's first local aural transmission service. 
Petitioner filed comments reiterating his intention to apply for Channel 232C3, if allotted.  No other
comments were received. 

     2.  We believe the public interest would be served by the allotment of Channel 232C3 to
Humboldt since it could provide the community with its first local service.  Channel 232C3 can be
allotted to the community in compliance with the Commission's minimum distance separation
requirements with a site restriction of 19.5 kilometers (12.1 miles) southwest to avoid a short-
spacing conflict with the licensed site of Station KFKF(FM), Channel 231C, Kansas 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 June 9, 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.

               Humboldt, Kansas              232C3

     4.  The window period for filing applications for Channel 232C3 at Humboldt, Kansas, will
open on June 9, 1997, and close on July 10, 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.
