 MEMORANDUM  OPINION  AND  ORDER 
 Adopted:  January  25,  2006  Released:  January  27,  2006 
 By  the  Deputy  Chief,  Policy  Division,  Media  Bureau: 
 1.  On  April  19,  2004,  North  Pacific  International  Television,  Inc.  (“  North  Pacific”),  licensee  of  KHCV(  TV),  Seattle,  Washington,  filed  an  Application  for  Review  of  the  Media  Bureau’s  Order  on 
 Reconsideration  that  denied  reconsideration  and,  alternatively,  a  petition  for  waiver  of  the  Commission’s  rules  regarding  the  denial  of  carriage  of  KHCV(  TV)  by  DirecTV.  1 


 2.  On  January  11,  2006,  North  Pacific  filed  a  request  to  dismiss  its  Application  for  Review  because  the  last  carriage  request  became  moot  because  of  the  commencement  of  a  new  carriage  election 
 cycle.  With  the  initiation  of  the  2006-  2008  election  cycle,  DirecTV  has  elected  to  add  the  signal  of  KHCV(  TV)  to  its  local-  into-  local  service  package  in  Seattle. 


 3.  Accordingly,  IT  IS  ORDERED,  that  the  Application  for  Review  filed  by  North  Pacific  International  Television,  Inc.  IS  DISMISSED. 
 4.  This  action  is  taken  pursuant  to  authority  delegated  under  Section  0.283  of  the  Commission’s  rules.  2
