filed on behalf of Rita Bonilla (RM-8676). See 60 FR 40146, August 7,

was deferred pending concurrence of the Mexican government to that 
proposal. See 62 FR 04465, January 30, 1997. The requested consent 
remains outstanding. However, due to the extended pendency of the 
proceeding, Channel 270A is allotted to Oro Valley conditionally to 
expedite the initiation of a new FM service at that community.

57-57. With this action, the proceeding is terminated.

DATES: Effective June 23, 1997. The window period for filing
