FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
47 CFR Part 73
[MM Docket No. 96-122; RM-8795; RM-8860]
Radio Broadcasting Services; Riverdale and Huron, CA
AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This document dismisses a petition for rule making filed by
Happy Nice Valley Broadcasting requesting the allotment of Channel 252A
to Riverdale, California, as that locality's first local aural
transmission service (RM-8795). The proposal is dismissed based upon
the lack of interest by the petitioner or any other interested party to
provide information, as requested, to establish that Riverdale
constitutes a bona fide ``community'', as that term is defined for
purposes of Section 307(b) of the Communications Act, as amended by the
Telecommunications Act of 1996, for allotment objectives. See 61 FR
30585, June 17, 1996. However, in response to a counterproposal filed
by Radio Coalinga Latino, Channel 252A is allotted to the incorporated
community of Huron, California, as that locality's first local aural
transmission service (RM-8860). Coordinates used for Channel 252A at
Huron, California, are 36-15-41 and 120-04-19. With this action, the
proceeding is terminated.
DATES: Effective April 21, 1997. The window period for filing
applications on Channel 252A at Huron, California, will open on April
21, 1997, and close on May 22, 1997.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Nancy Joyner, Mass Media Bureau, (202)

for Channel 252A at Huron, California, should be addressed to the Audio
