 Root  Communications  License  Company,  LP  filed  an  opposition.  The  Report  and  Order  denied  Waccamaw’s  proposed  reallotment  of  Channel  286A  from  Johnsonville,  South  Carolina,  to  Olanta,  South 
 Carolina,  and  the  modification  of  Station  WPDT(  FM)  ’s  license  to  reflect  the  new  community.  It  denied  Atlantic’s  proposed  reallotment  of  Channel  287C3  from  Fair  Bluff,  North  Carolina,  to  Litchfield  Beach, 
 South  Carolina,  modification  of  Station  WSIM(  FM)  ’s  license  to  reflect  the  new  community,  because  it  depended  on  Waccamaw’s  proposed  reallotment.  Subsequently,  Waccamaw  withdrew  its  participation  in 
 this  proceeding  by  requesting  that  the  Commission  dismiss  its  proposal.  This  dismissal  is  fatal  to  the  remaining  proposal.  In  view  of  this  dismissal,  there  is  no  basis  to  go  forward  with  the  underlying 
 proposal  or  the  Joint  Petition  for  Reconsideration.
