AGENCY:

Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION:

Proposed rule; dismissal.

SUMMARY:

John L. Zolkoske filed a petition for rule making requesting the allotment of Channel 282A at Pacific City Oregon, as the community's first local aural transmission service. See 66 FR 2682, May 15, 2001. Thunderegg Wireless, L.L.C (“Thunderegg”) filed a counterproposal and a subsequent request to withdraw its counterproposal. 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, since there is no continuing show of interest by either party, we will dismiss the instant petition and grant Thunderegg's request to withdraw its counterproposal.
