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

SUMMARY: This document dismisses a petition for rule making filed at 
the request of Maurice Salsa (``Salsa'') proposing the allotment of FM 
Channel 290A at Atoka, Oklahoma, as that community's second local FM 
transmission service (RM-10264). See 66 FR 52733, October 17, 2001. In

this

document allots Channel 290A to Haileyville, Oklahoma, as that 
community's first local aural transmission service (RM-10375). 
Additionally, this document dismisses an interrelated petition for rule 
making filed by Linda Crawford (``Crawford'') requesting the allotment 
of FM Channel 289A to Clayton, Oklahoma, as that community's first 
local aural transmission service (RM-10376). Salsa and Crawford 
withdrew their interests at Atoka and Clayton, Oklahoma, respectively, 
in this proceeding and were dismissed. Coordinates used for Channel 
290A at Haileyville, Oklahoma, are 34-56-29 NL and 95-34-20 WL, 
representing a site restriction 9.7 kilometers (6.0 miles) north of the 
community. With this action, this docketed proceeding is terminated.

DATES: Effective April 4, 2003. A filing window for Channel 290A at 
Haileyville, Oklahoma, will not be opened at this time. Instead, the 
issue of opening the allotment for auction will be addressed by the 
Commission in a subsequent Order.

ADDRESSES: Federal Communications Commission, 445 12th Street, SW.,
