**REPORT AND ORDER**

**(Proceeding Terminated)**

**Adopted: August 24, 2005 Released: August 26, 2005**

By the Assistant Chief, Audio Division, Media Bureau:

1.  The Audio Division has before it a *Notice of Proposed
    Rulemaking*[^1] issued at the request of Dr. Sandra L. Woodruff
    ("Petitioner") requesting the allotment of Channel 229C3 at Tenino,
    Washington, as the community's first local service. Petitioner did
    not file comments reiterating her continuing interest in applying
    for Channel 229C3 at Tenino.[^2] No other comments or
    counterproposals were received.

2.  As stated in the Notice, 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, since no such continuing interest
    has been expressed for an allotment at Tenino, Washington, we will
    dismiss Petitioner's proposal.

3.  This document is not subject to the Congressional Review Act. (The
    Commission, is, therefore, not required to submit a copy of this
    Report and Order to Government Accountability Office, pursuant to
    the Congressional Review Act, *see* 5 U.S.C. Section 801(a)(1)(A)
    since this proposed rule is dismissed, herein.)

4.  In view of the above, IT IS ORDERED That the Petition for Rule
    Making filed by Dr. Sandra L. Woodruff (RM-11236), requesting the
    allotment of Channel 229C3 at Tenino, Washington, IS DISMISSED.

5.  IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, That this proceeding IS TERMINATED.

6.  For further information concerning this proceeding, contact Helen
    McLean, Media Bureau, (202) 418-2738.
