 MEMORANDUM  OPINION  AND  ORDER 
 (Proceeding  Terminated) 


 Adopted:  January  16,  2002  Released:  January  18,  2002 
 By  the  Chief,  Allocations  Branch: 
 1.  The  Allocations  Branch  has  before  it  the  Application  for  Review  filed  by  Nevada  County 
 Broadcasters,  Inc  (“  Nevada  County")  directed  to  the  Memorandum  Opinion  and  Order  in  this  proceeding, 
 11  FCC  Rcd  2356  (1996).  1  Gold  Country  Communications,  Inc.  (“  Gold  Country”)  filed  an  Opposition  to 
 Application  for  Review  and  Nevada  County  filed  a  Reply  to  Opposition  to  Application  for  Review.  As 
 discussed  below,  we  are  dismissing  the  Application  for  Review. 


 2.  On  October  25,  2001,  Nevada  County  and  Gold  Country  filed  a  Joint  Request  for  Approval  of 
 Settlement  and  Termination  of  Proceeding  looking  toward  dismissal  of  the  Application  for  Review.  In 
 accordance  with  the  underlying  agreement  between  the  parties,  Nevada  County  (File  No.  BPH-20011025AAB) 
 and  Gold  Country  (File  No.  BPH-  20011025ABE)  each  filed  an  application  pursuant  to 
 Section  73.  213(  c)(  2)  of  the  Rules  to  operate  their  respective  stations  at  an  effective  radiated  power  of  six 
 kilowatts  on  Channel  232A.  Dismissal  of  the  Application  for  Review  is  expressly  contingent  upon 
 favorable  action  on  these  applications.  To  facilitate  the  processing  of  these  applications,  we  are  hereby 
 setting  aside  all  actions  in  this  proceeding.  Concurrent  with  the  release  of  this  Memorandum  Opinion  and 
 Order  ,  the  Audio  Services  Division  is  granting  these  applications. 


 3.  Accordingly,  IT  IS  ORDERED,  That  the  aforementioned  Application  for  Review  filed  by 
 Nevada  County  Broadcasters,  Inc.  IS  DISMISSED. 


 1  Nevada  County  is  the  licensee  of  Station  KNCO,  Grass  Valley,  California,  and  Gold  Country  is  the  licensee  of 
 Station  KNGT,  Jackson,  California.  Both  of  these  stations  were  licensed  on  Channel  232A  and  operated  as  three-kilowatt 
 Class  A  FM  facilities  because  they  did  not  meet  the  separation  requirements  now  set  forth  in  Section 
 73.  207(  b)  of  the  Rules  which  would  permit  six-  kilowatt  operation.  See  Amendment  of  Part  73  of  the  Rules  to 
 Provide  for  an  Additional  Class  (Class  C3)  and  to  Increase  the  Maximum  Transmitting  Power  for  Class  A  FM 
 Stations,  4  FCC  Rcd  6375  (1989).  As  a  result  of  the  earlier  Memorandum  Opinion  and  Order  in  this  proceeding,  the 
 Station  KNGT  license  was  modified  to  specify  operation  on  Channel  232B1  and  the  Station  KNCO  license  was 
 modified  to  specify  operation  on  Channel  231A.
