AGENCY:

Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION:

Proposed rule; dismissal.

SUMMARY:

At the request of Au Gres Broadcasting Company, we dismiss its petition for rule making proposing the allotment of Channel 295A at Au Gres, Michigan, as the community's first local aural transmission service (RM-10129). See 66 FR 31597, June 12, 2001. As requested, we also dismiss the counterproposal of Fort Bend Broadcasting Company proposing the upgrade from Channel 257C2 to Channel 257C1 at Frankfort, Michigan, and the required channel substitutions to accommodate the upgrade (RM-10325). 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.
