FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

47 CFR Part 73

[DA 01-2682; MM Docket No. 99-196; RM-9619, RM-9874]


Radio Broadcasting Services; Bethel Springs, Martin, Tiptonville, 
Trenton, South Fulton, TN

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Proposed rule; dismissal.

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

SUMMARY: The Allocations Branch dismisses the petition for rule making 
filed by Sherry A. Brown proposing the allotment of Channel 249A at 
Bethel Springs, Tennessee, as being procedurally defective for failure 
to properly file comments in compliance with sections 1.415(b) and 
1.420(e) of the Commission's Rules. See 64 FR 29979, June 4, 1999. In 
addition, the counterproposal filed by Thunderbolt Broadcasting 
Company, proposing two options for the substitution of Channel 267C3 
for Channel 269A at Martin, and the reallotment of Channel 267C3 to 
South Fulton, Tennessee (described more fully in the Report and Order) 
is disposed of as follows: Option I is denied because it required the 
downgrade of vacant Channel 267C3 at Tiptonville, Tennessee, and there 
are expressions of interest for the Class C3 channel. Option II is 
dismissed for failure to be ``technically correct'' and ``substantially 
complete'' as required at the time it is filed.
