-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This document amends the FM Table of Allotments, of the 
Commission's rules, by adding Channel 288A at South Padre Island, 
Texas. A staff engineering analysis indicates that Channel 288A can be 
allotted to South Padre Island, Texas, consistent with the minimum 
distance separation requirements of the Commission's rules (Rules), 
with a site restriction of 11 km (7 miles) south of the community. The 
reference coordinates are 26-01-30 NL and 97-09-15 WL.

DATES: Effective May 12, 2023.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Rolanda F. Smith, Media Bureau, (202)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is a synopsis of the Federal 
Communications Commission's (Commission) Report and Order, adopted 
March 28, 2023 and released March 28, 2023. The full text of this 
Commission decision is available online at <a href="https://apps.fcc.gov/ecfs/">https://apps.fcc.gov/ecfs/</a>. 
This document does not contain information collection requirements 
subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13.
    The Report and Order in this proceeding substituted Channel 288A 
for vacant Channel 237A at South Padre Island, Texas to accommodate the 
hybrid modification application for Station KRIX(FM), Port Isabel, 
Texas resulting in the public interest because it would enhanced 
service for Station KRIX(FM), Port Isabel, Texas. Channel 237A at South 
Padre Island, Texas is not currently listed in the FM Table of 
Allotments but is considered a vacant allotment resulting from the 
license cancellation of FM station DKZSP, Fac. ID No. 56473, South 
Padre Island, Texas. The Commission will send a copy of this Report and 
Order in a report to be sent to Congress and the Government 
Accountability Office pursuant to the Congressional Review Act, see 
U.S.C. 801(a)(1)(A).
