 By  the  Chief,  Video  Division: 
 1.  At  the  request  of  Compass  Communications  of  Idaho,  Inc.  (“  Compass”),  licensee  of  station  KFXP-  TV,  NTSC  channel  31-,  Pocatello,  Idaho,  the  Commission  has  before  it  the  Notice  of 
 Proposed  Rule  Making,  18  FCC  Rcd  23765  (2003),  proposing  the  allotment  of  DTV  channel  38  at  Pocatello.  Compass  filed  comments  withdrawing  its  interest  in  applying  for  channel  38  at 
 Pocatello.  1  No  other  parties  filed  comments  expressing  an  interest  in  the  proposed  allotment  at  Pocatello. 


 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.  Since  there  has  been  no  such  interest  expressed  in  the  proposed  use  of  DTV  channel  38  at  Pocatello,  we  shall  dismiss  it.  See,  e.  g.,  Joshua  Tree,  California,  54  Fed.  Reg.

 3.  In  view  of  the  above,  IT  IS  ORDERED,  That  the  petition  for  rule  making  filed  by  Compass  Communications  of  Idaho,  Inc.,  seeking  the  allotment  of  DTV  channel  38  to  Pocatello, 
 Idaho  (RM-  10699),  IS  DISMISSED. 
 4.  IT  IS  FURTHER  ORDERED,  That  this  proceeding  IS  TERMINATED. 


 1  In  accordance  with  Section  1.420(  j)  of  the  Commission’s  Rules,  Compass  states  that  it  has  not  received  or  will 
 receive  any  money  or  other  consideration  in  exchange  for  filing  its  withdrawal  of  its  expression  of  interest  in  a  DTV  allotment  at  Pocatello,  Idaho.
