 REPORT  AND  ORDER  (Proceeding  Terminated) 
 Adopted:  June  22,  2005  Released:  June  24,  2005 
 By  the  Assistant  Chief,  Audio  Division,  Media  Bureau: 
 1.  The  Audio  Division  issued  a  Notice  of  Proposed  Rulemaking  (“  Notice”)  in  response  to  a  Petition  for  Rule  Making  filed  by  Charles  Crawford.  1  The  Notice  proposes  to  allot  Channel  222A  at  Boyce, 
 Louisiana,  as  that  community’s  second  local  FM  allotment. 
 2.  As  set  forth  in  the  Notice,  the  proponent  of  an  allotment  proposal  is  expected  to  file  comments  restating  its  present  intention  to  apply  for  the  channel  if  it  is  allotted  and,  if  authorized,  to  build  a  station 
 promptly.  2  Petitioner  did  not  file  comments  supporting  the  requested  allotment,  nor  were  comments  received  from  any  other  party. 


 3.  It  is  the  Commission’s  policy  to  refrain  from  making  an  allotment  to  a  community  absent  an  adequate  expression  of  interest.  Petitioner  has  not  demonstrated  a  continuing  interest  in  the  requested 
 allotment. 
 4.  Accordingly,  IT  IS  ORDERED,  That  the  petition  for  rule  making  filed  by  Charles  Crawford,  proposing  the  allotment  of  Channel  222A  at  Boyce,  Louisiana,  IS  DISMISSED. 


 5.  IT  IS  FURTHER  ORDERED,  That  this  proceeding  IS  TERMINATED. 
 6.  This  document  is  not  subject  to  the  Congressional  Review  Act.  The  Commission,  is,  therefore,  not  required  to  submit  a  copy  of  this  Report  and  Order  to  the  Government  Accountability 
 Office,  pursuant  to  the  Congressional  Review  Act,  see  5  U.  S.  C.  801(  a)(  1)(  A),  because  the  proposed  rule
