                            REPORT AND ORDER
                          (Proceeding Terminated)

   Adopted:  February 2, 1998                                    Released:  February 13, 1998  

By the Chief, Allocations Branch:

     1.  At the request of Charles D. Hall ("petitioner"), the Commission has before it the
Notice of Proposed Rule Making, 12 FCC Rcd 17502 (1997), proposing the allotment of
Channel 257C2 to Monroe, Utah.  Petitioner filed comments restating his interest in applying
for Channel 257C2, if allotted to the community.  No other comments were received.

     2. We believe the public interest would be served by allotting Channel 257C2 to Monroe,
Utah, since it will provide the community with its first local aural transmission service.  As
stated in the Notice, Channel 257C2 can be allotted to Monroe in compliance with the
Commission's minimum distance separation requirements with a site restriction of 1.3 kilometers
(0.8 miles) south of the community in order to avoid a short-spacing conflict to vacant Channel
256A at Levan, Utah. 

     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 March 30, 1998, 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.

                    Monroe, Utah                    257C2        
                    
     4.  A filing window for Channel 257C2 at Monroe, Utah, will not be opened at this time. 
Instead, the issue of opening a filing window for this channel will be addressed by the
Commission in a subsequent order.

     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.
