03-5336. Radio Broadcasting Services; Bad Axe, MI

AGENCY:

Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION:

Proposed rule; dismissal.

SUMMARY:

Charles Crawford (“Crawford”) filed a petition for rule making requesting the allotment of FM Channel 231A to Bad Axe, Michigan, as that community's second local FM service. See 66 FR 52733, October 17, 2001. Subsequently, Crawford withdrew his interest in this proceeding. A showing of continuing interest is required before a channel will be allotted to a community. Further, Commission policy refrains from making an allotment in the absence of an expression of interest. Therefore, since no other expressions of interest in applying for the allotment proposal at Bad Axe, Michigan, were received, we dismiss Crawford's proposal, as requested.
