DOCUMENT ACTION: Proposed rule; dismissal.

SUBJECT CATEGORY:

Radio Broadcasting Services; Cherokee, OK

DOCUMENT SUMMARY:

Maurice Salsa (``Salsa'') filed a petition for rule making requesting the allotment of FM Channel 237C2 to Cherokee, Oklahoma, as that community's first local aural transmission service. See 66 FR 53755, October 24, 2001. Robert Fabian (``Fabian'') filed a counterproposal regarding the communities of Cherokee and Ft. Supply, Oklahoma. Subsequently, Salsa and Fabian each withdrew their interests 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,
[[Page 78401]]
since we have no continuing interest by either party, we dismiss Salsa's petition regarding Cherokee, Oklahoma, and grant Fabian's request to withdraw his counterproposal.

SUMMARY:

Oklahoma,
