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.
