ACTION: Proposed rule. SUMMARY: This document requests comments on a petition for rule making filed on behalf of Santa Cruz Broadcasting, requesting the allotment of Channel 300A to Rio Rico, Arizona, as a first local aural transmission service. Information is requested regarding the attributes of Rio Rico to determine whether it is a bona fide community for allotment purposes. Additionally, as Rio Rico is located within 320 kilometers (199 miles) of the U.S.-Mexico border, and will result in short spacings to two Mexican allotments, concurrence of the Mexican government to the proposed allotment of Channel 300A to Rio Rico, as a specially-negotiated short-spaced allotment must be obtained. Coordinates used for this proposal are 31-24-00 NL and 110-57-30 WL. DATES: Comments must be filed on or before December 18, 2000, and reply comments on or before January 2, 2001.
