Petitioner filed comments reiterating its intention to apply for the channel, if allotted. No other comments were received. 2. We believe the public interest would be served by allotting Channel 294A to Windsor, New York, since it could provide the community with its first local aural service. Channel 294A can be allotted to the community with a site restriction of 11.6 kilometers (7.2 miles) east to avoid a short-spacing to Station WHCD (formerly WPCX), Channel 295B, Auburn, New York. Canadian concurrence in the allotment has been received since Windsor is located within 320 kilometers (200 miles) of the U.S.-Canadian border. 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 January 26, 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. Windsor, New York 294A 4.
