 REPORT  AND  ORDER  (Proceeding  Terminated) 
 Adopted:  April  25,  2005  Released:  April  27,  2005 
 By  the  Assistant  Chief,  Audio  Division,  Media  Bureau: 
 1.  The  Audio  Division  has  before  it  a  Notice  of  Proposed  Rule  Making  1  issued  in  response  to  a  petition  for  rule  making  filed  by  Jeffrey  Cotton  (Petitioner”),  requesting  the  allotment  of  Channel  260A  at 
 Cedarville,  California,  as  the  community’s  first  local  service.  Petitioner  filed  comments,  stating  his  continuing  interest  in  pursuing  the  allotment,  and  his  intention  to  apply  for  a  construction  permit.  No  other 
 comments  or  counterproposals  were  received. 
 2.  We  believe  the  public  interest  would  be  served  by  allotting  Channel  260A  at  Cedarville,  California.  Cedarville  is  a  community  for  allotment  purposes,  deserving  of  a  first  local  aural  transmission 
 service.  Although  Cedarville  is  neither  incorporated  nor  listed  in  the  2000  U.  S.  Census,  Petitioner  has  provided  statements  and  documentation  demonstrating  that  Cedarville  is  a  community  for  allotment 
 purposes.  Petitioner  states  that  Cedarville  is  the  largest  of  four  communities  located  in  Surprise  Valley  with  a  population  of  approximately  850  persons,  and  serves  as  an  economic  and  social  hub  for  the  entire 
 valley.  Additionally,  Cedarville  has  a  number  of  local  businesses  including  Cedarville  Cafe  &  Salon,  and  its  own  post  office  and  zip  code  96104. 


 3.  Channel  260A  can  be  allotted  to  Cedarville  in  compliance  with  the  minimum  distance  separation  requirements  of  the  Commission’s  rules  at  reference  coordinates  41-  31-  45  North  Latitude  and 
 120-  10-  20  West  Longitude  located  at  the  center  of  the  community.  The  Commission  will  send  a  copy  of  this  Report  and  Order  in  a  report  to  be  sent  to  Congress  and  the  Government  Accountability  Office  pursuant 
 to  the  Congressional  Review  Act,  see  5  U.  S.  C.  Section  801(  a)(  1)(  A). 
 4.  Accordingly,  pursuant  to  the  authority  found  in  47  U.  S.  C.  Sections  4(  i),  5(  c)(  1),  303(  g)  and  (r)  and  307(  b)  and  47  C.  F.  R.  Sections  0.61,  0.204(  b)  and  0.283,  IT  IS  ORDERED,  That  effective, 
 June  13,  2005,  the  FM  Table  of  Allotments,  47  C.  F.  R.  Section  73.  202(  b),  IS  AMENDED  for  the  community  listed  below,  as  follows:
