AGENCY:

Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION:

Proposed rule; dismissal.

SUMMARY:

Charles Crawford filed a petition for rule making proposing the allotment of Channel 236A at Highland, Michigan, as the community's first local aural transmission service. See 66 FR 49593, September 28, 2001. On November 2, 2001, petitioner filed a motion for dismissal. 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, at the request of petitioner, we dismiss the instant proposal.
