 REPORT  AND  ORDER 
 (Proceeding  Terminated) 


 Adopted:  August  22,  2001  Released:  August  31,  2001 
 By  the  Chief,  Allocations  Branch: 
 1.  In  response  to  a  petition  filed  by  Jeffrey  A.  Bruton  (“  Bruton”)  the  Commission  has  before  it  for 
 consideration  the  Notice  of  Proposed  Rule  Making,  adopted  May  16,  2001  and  released  on  May  25. 
 2001,  DA  No.  01-  1291,  requesting  the  allotment  of  Channel  272A  at  Waitsburg,  Washington.  Neither 
 Bruton  nor  any  other  party  filed  comments  in  response  to  the  Notice. 


 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 
 allot  ment  at  Wait  sburg,  we  will  dismiss  Brut  on’s  proposal. 


 3.  In  view  of  the  above,  IT  IS  ORDERED,  That  the  Petition  for  Rule  Making  filed  by  Jeffrey  A. 
 Bruton  (RM-  10115),  requesting  the  allotment  of  Channel  272A  at  Waitsburg,  Washington,  IS 
 DISMISSED. 


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