To: Chief, Allocations Branch
COUNTERPROPOSAL
International Systems Corp. ("ISC"), by its attorney, hereby submits its counterproposal with respect to the above-referenced rulemaking proceeding. With respect thereto, the following is stated:
Auburn Network, Inc. has proposed that the FM Table ofAllotments be amended as follows:
Community Current Proposed
Auburn, Alabama 249A 249A,263A
However, Auburn, Alabama already has assigned to it not only Chanel249A (Station WKKR(FM)), the community also has assigned to it Station WAUD(AM), and NCE station WEGL(FM)). Thus, this allotment would represent thefourth aural service assigned to Auburn.
As a counterproposal, ISC instead proposes that Channel 262A be allotted to the community ofCamp Hill, Alabama. As seen in Attachment 1, Camp Hill is a census-recognized community of
1,982 persons (2000 Census).
The Commission's has an established allotment criteria which was set forth initially inRevision ofFMAssignmentPolicies andProcedures, 90 F.C.C.2d 88 (1982), which establishes the following allotment priorities:
~o. of Copies rac'd USiA BCDE --.------(1) first full-time aural service (2) second full-time aural service (3) first local service (4) other public interest matters
Camp Hill has allotted to it no other aural services. Therefore, under the Commission's established
criteria, Aubum Network's proposalonly can be considered under "Priority 4" (other public interest
matters). In contrast, since Camp Hill has assigned to it no other aural services, ISC's proposal
would be entitled consideration under "Priority 3" (first local service). Therefore, ISC proposal
should be favored over the proposal filed by Auburn Network insofar as it will result in a preferential
arrangement ofallotments.
As seen in Attachment 2, this proposed allotment is mutually-exclusive with the proposed
allotment of Channel 263A at Auburn, and can be allotted in fully accord with the Commission's
minimum spacing requirements.
Accordingly, it is requested that the FM Table ofAllotments be amended as follows:
Community Current Proposed
Camp Hill, Alabama 262A
WHEREFORE, International Systems Corp. respectfully requests that this Counterproposal
be adopted, that the Commission amend the FM Table ofAllotments to specify the new channel at
Camp Hill, Alabama.
Respectfully submitted,
ONA! SYSTEMS CORP.
