FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
47 CFR Part 73

[MM Docket No. 96-122; RM-8795; RM-8860]


Radio Broadcasting Services; Riverdale and Huron, CA

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This document dismisses a petition for rule making filed by 
Happy Nice Valley Broadcasting requesting the allotment of Channel 252A 
to Riverdale, California, as that locality's first local aural 
transmission service (RM-8795). The proposal is dismissed based upon 
the lack of interest by the petitioner or any other interested party to 
provide information, as requested, to establish that Riverdale 
constitutes a bona fide ``community'', as that term is defined for 
purposes of Section 307(b) of the Communications Act, as amended by the 
Telecommunications Act of 1996, for allotment objectives. See 61 FR 
30585, June 17, 1996. However, in response to a counterproposal filed 
by Radio Coalinga Latino, Channel 252A is allotted to the incorporated 
community of Huron, California, as that locality's first local aural 
transmission service (RM-8860). Coordinates used for Channel 252A at 
Huron, California, are 36-15-41 and 120-04-19. With this action, the 
proceeding is terminated.

DATES: Effective April 21, 1997. The window period for filing 
applications on Channel 252A at Huron, California, will open on April 
21, 1997, and close on May 22, 1997.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Nancy Joyner, Mass Media Bureau, (202) 
418-2180. Questions related to the window application filing process 
for Channel 252A at Huron, California, should be addressed to the Audio
