This is necessary to provide copies to the public file and the appropriate  x[processing staff. In view of the large number of broadcast allotment proceedings, it would not"` ,))ZZ<"  x=be conducive to the efficient transaction of Commission business for us to make these copies. As such, we must strictly adhere to Section 1.420(e) of the Rules.   x3. In this instance, accepting a faxed copy would also be contrary to a Commission  X- xzNotice of Proposed Rule Making in GC Docket No. 97113, ("Electronic Filing of Documents  X- x\in Rulemaking Proceedings"), 12 FCC Rcd 5150 (1997). In Electronic Filing, the Commission  x<specifically excluded broadcast allotment proceedings from the ambit of that proceeding. We see  xno basis to depart from that Commission directive and accept an electronically filed counterproposal into this proceeding.   x4. On October 8, 1996, White Castle submitted an original and four copies of its  xycounterproposal. This submission is untimely and cannot be considered in the context of MM  xDocket No. 96170. We see no reason to depart from our practice of strict enforcement of  xSection 1.420(d) of the Rules. Accepting an untimely counterproposal would be unfair to other  xparties in a proceeding who have complied with all procedural requirements. In addition, our  xLpolicy of strict enforcement is the procedural cornerstone necessary for freezing a record in an  xallotment proceeding which is critical to the processing of a large number of allotment  Xy-proceedings. See Grove City, Pennsylvania and Hubbard, Ohio, 6 FCC Rcd 7114 (1991).   0x5. Based on the record before us, we believe the public interest would be served by the  xallotment of Channel 295C3 to Franklin, since it could provide the community with an additional  xFM service. Channel 295C3 can be allotted to Franklin in compliance with the Commission's  X-minimum distance separation requirements without the imposition of a site restriction.xj yO-ԍ The coordinates for Channel 295C3 at Franklin are 294742 NL and 913012 WL.x   x6. Accordingly, pursuant to the authority contained in Sections 4(i),5(c)(1), 303(g) and  xL(r) and 307(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and Sections 0.61, 0.204(b) and  x0.283 of the Commission's Rules, IT IS ORDERED, That effective January 20, 1998, the FM  xLTable of Allotments, Section 73.202(b) of the Commission's Rules, IS AMENDED, with respect to the community listed below, to read as follows:  XN-x` ` City hh Channel No.  X -x` `  Franklin, Louisiana@h 295C3   x7. A filing window for Channel 295C3 at Franklin, Louisiana, will not be opened at this  xtime. Instead, the issue of opening a filing window for this channel will be addressed by the Commission in a subsequent order.   Bx8. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, That the counterproposal filed by White Castle  x[Broadcasting (RM9057) requesting the allotment of Channel 295A to White Castle, Louisiana, IS DISMISSED. ":&X,))ZZ%"Ԍ  x9.
