47 CFR Part 73

[DA 03-151; MB Docket No. 02-263; RM-10498, RM-10606]

Radio Broadcasting Services; Eagar and Safford, AZ

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Proposed rule; dismissal.

SUMMARY: This document dismisses the petition for rule making filed by Graham County FM Associates, requesting the allotment of Channel 246C3 to Safford, Arizona, as that community's second local aural transmission service. No expression of interest was filed requesting the allotment of Channel 246C3 at Safford, Arizona. It is Commission's policy to refrain from making a new allotment to a community absent an expression of interest. A counterproposal was filed by Eagar Broadcasting proposing the allotment of Channel 246C at Eagar, Arizona, as that community's first local aural transmission service. On December 30, 2002, Eagar Broadcasting filed a Request for Approval of Withdrawal for its counterproposal filed in this proceeding. This document grants the Request for Approval of Withdrawal and dismisses the counterproposal filed by Eagar Broadcasting proposing the allotment of Channel 246C at Eagar, Arizona, as that community's first local aural transmission service.

ADDRESSES: Federal Communications Commission, 445 Twelfth Street, SW., Washington, DC 20554.
