AGENCY:

Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION:

Proposed rule; dismissal.

SUMMARY:

This document dismisses: (1) A petition for rule making filed by Cumulus Licensing, LLC (“Cumulus”) to substitute Channel 245C2 for Channel 244A at Humboldt, Nebraska, reallot Channel 245C2 to Valley Falls, Kansas, and allot Channel 256A at Pawnee City, Nebraska; (2) a counterproposal filed by Cumulus to substitute Channel 245C2 for Channel 244A at Humboldt, reallot Channel 245C2 to Effingham, Kansas, allot Channel 272A at Humboldt, and allot Channel 256A at Pawnee City; (3) a counterproposal filed by Viking Enterprises to allot Channel 245C2 at Holton, Kansas which requires the substitution of Channel 272A for Channel 244A at Humboldt. Cumulus's initial petition for a change of community was technically defective because the proposed allotment was not mutually exclusive with the existing allotment as required by the Commission's rules. Since the Notice of Proposed Rule Making was defective and erroneously issued, the counterproposals must be dismissed.
