AGENCY:

Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION:

Proposed rule, dismissal.

SUMMARY:

This document dismisses a pending petition for rulemaking to add an FM allotment in Wynnewood, Oklahoma. The Commission had requested comment on a petition filed by David Garland, proposing the allotment of Channel 266A at Wynnewood, Oklahoma. Wynnewood, Oklahoma, 17 FCC Rcd 9557 (MB 2002). The petitioner filed comments in support of the proposal. In addition, a counterproposal was filed by DFWU, Inc., proposing the alternative allotment of Channel 265A at Konawa, Oklahoma. Both the original proposal in this proceeding and the counterproposal were determined to be in conflict with, and outside the comment period for, proposals under consideration in MM Docket No. 01-180. Holdenville, Oklahoma, 16 FCC Rcd 14,912 (MM 2001). This document therefore dismisses the petition and counterproposal in this proceeding and terminates the proceeding.
