 requesting  to  dismiss  its  petition.  3  No  other  pleadings  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  the  request  to  dismiss  the  instant  proposal. 
 3.  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  GAO,  pursuant  to  the  Congressional 
 Review  Act,  see  5  U.  S.  C.  801(  a)(  1)(  A)  because  the  proposed  rule  was  dismissed.
