   Adopted:  August 13, 1997            Released:  August 22, 1997  

By the Chief, Allocations Branch:

     1.  At the request of Grand Isle Radio ("petitioner"), the Commission has before it the Notice
of Proposed Rule Making, 12 FCC Rcd 4903 (1997), proposing the allotment of Channel 283A to
Grand Isle, Louisiana.  Petitioner filed comments restating its interest in applying for Channel 283A,
if allotted.  No other comments were received.

     2.  We believe the public interest would be served  by allotting Channel 283A to Grand Isle
since it would provide the community with its first local aural transmission service.  Channel 283A
can be allotted to Grand Isle in compliance with the Commission's minimum distance separation
requirements without the imposition of a site restriction.  

     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 October 6, 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.

               Grand Isle, Louisiana         283A 

     4.  The window period for filing applications for Channel 283A at Grand Isle open on
October 6, 1997, and close on November 6, 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.
