AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Proposed rule; dismissal.

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

SUMMARY: This document dismisses seven proposals. Sierra Grande 
Broadcasting filed petitions for rule making proposing the allotment of 
(1) Channel 263C1 at Elkhart, Kansas; (2) Channel 227C at Austin, 
Nevada; (3) Channel 296C at Baker, Nevada; (4) Channel 231C at Battle 
Mountain, Nevada; (5) Channel 300C at Eureka, Nevada; (6) Channel 297C 
at Fallon, Nevada; and (7) Channel 234C at Moab, Utah. See 67 FR 47502, 
July 19, 2002. Petitioner failed to file comments reaffirming its 
intention to apply for the specified channel, if allotted, or a motion 
was filed by petitioner withdrawing its proposal. A showing of 
continuing interest is required before a channel will be allotted. It 
is the Commission's policy to refrain from making an allotment to a 
community absent an expression of interest. Therefore, we dismiss the 
above-mentioned petitions.
