   Adopted: January 21, 1998                                          Released:  January 30, 1998       

 By the Chief, Allocations Branch:
 
 
 1.   This Order amends Section 73.202(b) of the Commission's Rules, the Table of FM
 Allotments, to specify the classes of channels allotted to various communities.  These
 amendments are necessary to reflect changes that have been authorized in response to
 applications filed by licensees and permittees operating on these channels.  This action is taken
 pursuant to Revision of Section 73.3573(a)(1) of the Commission's Rules concerning the
 Lower Classification of an FM Allotment, 4 FCC Rcd 2413 (1989), and the Amendment of
 the Commission's Rules to Permit FM Channel and Class Modifications [Upgrades] by
 Application, 8 FCC Rcd 4735 (1993).  The attached Appendix shows the Table, as amended,
 for those communities.
 
 2.   This action constitutes an editorial change in the Table of Allotments.  Therefore, we
 find for good cause that a public notice and comment proceeding is unnecessary.  See 5
 U.S.C. 553(b)(A) and (B).
