FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

47 CFR Part 73

[DA 03-2625; MM Docket No. 00-169; RM-9953, RM-10160]


Radio Broadcasting Services; Granby and Oswego, New York

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This Memorandum Opinion and Order affirms action in a Report 
and Order 66 FR 51322 (October 9, 2001), that reallotted FM broadcast 
Channel 288A from Oswego, New York, to Granby, New York, thus providing 
Granby with its first local aural transmission service. This document 
dismisses as moot a petition for reconsideration of that Report and 
Order, filed by Clear Channel Broadcasting Licenses, Inc. (``Clear 
Channel''), licensee of Station WWDG(FM), DeRuyter, New York. Clear 
Channel's application had been considered as a counterproposal in the 
reallotment rulemaking proposal. The Report and Order had granted the 
requested reallotment after comparing its merits with those of Clear 
Channel's application. The application was returned to the Audio 
Division for further processing in order to give Clear Channel an 
opportunity to amend the application in such a manner that it could be 
granted. No such amendment was submitted. Further, the existing 
application was found to be defective. After giving the applicant an 
opportunity to correct the defect, the Commission's staff dismissed the 
application for failure to respond to the staff letter that had 
explained the defect and had allowed the applicant a period of time to 
correct that defect. The Memorandum Opinion and Order ruled that since 
the application's dismissal has become final, the petition for 
reconsideration has been rendered moot.
