 REPORT  AND  ORDER 
 (Proceeding  Terminated) 


 Adopted:  January  2,  2002  Released:  January  11,  2002 
 By  the  Chief,  Allocations  Branch: 
 1.  In  response  to  a  petition  filed  by  Charles  Crawford  (“  Crawford”),  the  Commission  has  before  it 
 for  consideration  the  Notice  of  Proposed  Rule  Making,  16  FCC  Rcd  18100  (2001),  seeking  the 
 allotment  of  Channel  280A  at  Camden,  Alabama,  as  the  community’s  second  FM  broadcast  service. 
 No  expressions  of  interest  were  filed  in  response  to  the  Notice  stating  an  intent  to  file  an  application 
 for  a  channel  at  Camden,  Alabama. 


 2.  As  stated  in  the  Notice,  a  showing  of  continuing  interest  is  required  before  a  channel  will  be 
 allotted.  It  is  the  Comission's  general  policy  to  refrain  from  making  allotments  to  a  community 
 absent  an  expression  of  interest.  Therefore,  since  there  has  been  no  such  interest  here,  we  will 
 dismiss  Crawford’s  proposal. 


 3.  Accordingly,  IT  IS  ORDERED,  That  the  petition  of  Charles  Crawford,  proposing  the 
 allotment  of  Channel  280A  to  Camden,  Alabama,  IS  HEREBY  DISMISSED. 


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