FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

47 CFR Part 73

[DA 03-151; MB Docket No. 02-263; RM-10498, RM-10606]


Radio Broadcasting Services; Eagar and Safford, AZ

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Proposed rule; dismissal.

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

SUMMARY: This document dismisses the petition for rule making filed by 
Graham County FM Associates, requesting the allotment of Channel 246C3 
to Safford, Arizona, as that community's second local aural 
transmission service. No expression of interest was filed requesting 
the allotment of Channel 246C3 at Safford, Arizona. It is Commission's 
policy to refrain from making a new allotment to a community absent an 
expression of interest. A counterproposal was filed by Eagar 
Broadcasting proposing the allotment of Channel 246C at Eagar, Arizona, 
as that community's first local aural transmission service. On December 
30, 2002, Eagar Broadcasting filed a Request for Approval of Withdrawal 
for its counterproposal filed in this proceeding. This document grants 
the Request for Approval of Withdrawal and dismisses the 
counterproposal filed by Eagar Broadcasting proposing the allotment of 
Channel 246C at Eagar, Arizona, as that community's first local aural 
transmission service.

ADDRESSES: Federal Communications Commission, 445 Twelfth Street, SW.,
