FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
47 CFR Part 73

[MM Docket No. 96-53; RM-8767]


Radio Broadcasting Services; Marinette, WI

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Proposed rule; dismissal.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This document dismisses a Notice of Proposed Rule Making 
issued in response to a petition filed by Douglas A. Maszka d/b/a Tri-
City Television Company requesting the allotment of Channel 25 to 
Marinette, Wisconsin. See 61 FR 14043, March 29, 1996. On August 7, 
1996, Tri-City filed comments withdrawing its interest in the allotment 
at Marinette. As stated in the Notice, a showing of continuing interest 
is required before a channel will be allotted, and absent such an 
expression of interest, it is the Commission's policy to refrain from 
allotting a channel. Due to a lack of interest in Channel 25 at 
Marinette, we shall dismiss the proposal. With this action, this 
proceeding is terminated.
