 REPORT  AND  ORDER  (Proceeding  Terminated) 
 Adopted:  December  12,  2003  Released:  December  16,  2003 
 By  the  Assistant  Chief,  Audio  Division: 
 1.  The  Audio  Division  has  before  it  a  Notice  of  Proposed  Rule  Making  1  ,  issued  at  the  request  of  Katherine  Pyeatt  (“  Petitioner”),  requesting  the  allotment  of  Channel  263A  at  Rocksprings,  Texas. 
 Petitioner  filed  comments  in  support  of  the  proposal  reaffirming  her  intention  to  apply  for  the  channel,  if  allotted.  On  November  25,  2003,  Petitioner  filed  a  request  for  dismissal  of  her  petition.  2  No  other 
 comments  were  received. 
 2.  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,  we  will  grant  Petitioner’s  request  to  dismiss  the  instant  proposal. 
 3.  Accordingly,  IT  IS  ORDERED,  That  the  petition  for  rule  making  filed  by  Katherine  Pyeatt  IS  DISMISSED. 


 4.  IT  IS  FURTHER  ORDERED,  That  this  proceeding  IS  TERMINATED. 
 5.  For  further  information  concerning  this  proceeding,  contact  Deborah  A.  Dupont,  Media  Bureau,  (202)  418-  2180.
