AGENCY:

Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION:

Proposed rule; dismissal.

SUMMARY:

The Audio Division dismisses a petition for rulemaking filed by Charles Crawford proposing the allotment of Channel 261C3 at Quitaque, Texas, as potentially the community's second local FM transmission service. See 68 FR 47284, August 8, 2003. A showing of continuing interest is required before a channel will be allotted. It is the Commission's policy to refrain from making an allotment to a community absent an expression of interest. Therefore, we will dismiss the instant petition.
