The Commission requests comments on a petition filed by Common Ground Broadcasting, Inc., seeking the substitution of Channel 298C1 for Channel 298C2 at Banks, Oregon, and the modification of its license for Station KDBX to specify the higher class channel. To accommodate the allotment at Banks, we also propose the substitution of Channel 269C2 for Channel 298C2 at Redmond, Oregon, and the modification of Station KLRR's license to specify the alternate Class C2 channel. In accordance with Section 1.420(g) of the Commission's Rules, we will not accept competing expressions of interest in use of Channel 298C1 at Banks or require the petitioner to demonstrate the availability of an additional equivalent class channel for use by such parties. Channel 298C1 can be allotted to Banks in compliance with the Commission's minimum distance separation requirements at Station KDBX's licensed site, at coordinates 45-31-22 NL; 122-45-07 WL. Channel 269C2 can be allotted to Redmond in compliance with the Commission's minimum distance separation requirements at Station KLRR's licensed site, at coordinates 44-04-41 NL; 121-19-57 WL. Canadian concurrence in the Banks allotment is required since the community is located within 320 kilometers (200 miles) of the U.S.-Canadian border.
