FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

47 CFR Part 73

[DA 04-73; MB Docket No. 02-164, RM-10476]


Radio Broadcasting Services; Cimarron, NM

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Proposed rule; dismissal.

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

SUMMARY: Sierra Grande Broadcasting filed a petition for rule making 
proposing the allotment of Channel 236C2 at Cimarron, New Mexico, as 
the community's first local aural transmission service. See 67 FR 
47502, July 19, 2002. Petitioner subsequently filed an amendment 
requesting the allotment of Channel 296C1 in lieu of Channel 236C2 at 
Cimarron, New Mexico. The new proposal to allot Channel 296C1 at 
Cimarron conflicts with a pending petition to allot Channel 296A at Las 
Vegas, New Mexico, and will be considered in the context of that 
proceeding. 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 will dismiss petitioner's petition in the instant 
proceeding.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Sharon P. McDonald, Media Bureau, 
(202) 418-2180.
