FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

47 CFR Part 73

[MM Docket No. 92-246; RM-8091]


Television Broadcasting Services; Ridgecrest, CA

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Proposed rule; dismissal.

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

SUMMARY: This document denies an Application for Review filed by Valley 
Public Television, Inc. (Valley) and affirms the staff's dismissal of 
Valley's rulemaking petition. See 58 FR 58833 (November 4, 1993); 60 FR 
31258 (June 14, 1995). The petition sought to substitute Channel *41 
for vacant Channel *25 (reserved for noncommercial use) at Ridgecrest, 
CA to eliminate a short-spacing between Valley's application for a new 
noncommercial station on Channel *39 at Bakersfield, CA and Channel *25 
at Ridgecrest. The Commission concluded that the rulemaking petition 
was properly dismissed as moot because Valley had withdrawn its 
television application and because no more applications can be filed 
for Channel *39 at Bakersfield. With this action, the proceeding is 
terminated.
