FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

47 CFR Part 73

[DA 02-3362; MM Docket No. 01-291; RM-10301]


Radio Broadcasting Services; Cherokee, OK

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Proposed rule; dismissal.

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

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.
