[DA No. 01-1018; MM Docket No. 92-214; RM-8062, 8144, 8145, 8146 & 
8147]

Dixon and Cuba, MO

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule; petition for reconsideration.

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

SUMMARY: This document takes action on two separately filed petitions 
for reconsideration of the Report and Order in MM Docket No. 92-214. 
See 60 FR 62219, published December 5, 1995. The Commission dismissed 
as moot the petition for reconsideration filed by Lake Broadcasting, 
Inc., licensee of Station KBMX(FM), Channel 270A, Eldon, Missouri, and 
permittee for Station KFXE(FM), Channel 271A, Cuba, Missouri. The 
Commission dismissed Lake's petition for reconsideration following the 
denial of certiorari by the U.S. Supreme Court in Lake's appeal of the 
revocation of its licenses and construction permits. See Contemporary 
Media, Inc., et al., v. Federal Communications Commission, 214 F.3d 187 
(D.C. Cir 2000), cert. denied, 532 U.S. ______ (2001). Michael Rice, 
Lake's sole owner and president, had been convicted of the felonies of 
deviate sexual conduct and sodomy of minors. Lake and other licensees 
owned or controlled by Rice also made repeated misrepresentations to 
the Commission as to Rice's continued involvement with their stations.
    The Commission also denies the petition for reconsideration filed 
by Central Missouri Broadcasting, Inc. Central Missouri failed to 
provide information demonstrating that the allotment of Channel 221A at 
Dixon, Missouri, was an unusable channel or that the public interest 
would be better served by the allotment of Channel 243A in lieu of 
Channel 221A at Dixon.
