MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER
(Proceeding Terminated)
Adopted: May 16, 2007     Released: May 18, 2007
By the Assistant Chief, Audio Division, Media Bureau:
1. The Audio Division has before it: (1) a Petition for Reconsideration of a Report and 
Order1 in this proceeding filed by Reynolds Technical Associates, LLC (“RTA”); (2) a Request for 
Dismissal filed by RTA; and (3) a Declaration of No Consideration filed by RTA.  For the reasons 
discussed below, we will grant the requested withdrawal and dismiss the Petition for Reconsideration.  
2. At the request of Ronald C. Meredith (“Meredith”), a Notice of Proposed Rule Making 
proposed the allotment of Channel 244A at Lake City, Tennessee, as a first local aural service.2 In 
response to the NPRM, JBD Incorporated (“JBD”) filed a counterproposal, proposing a change in the 
allotment from Channel 243A to 244A at Harrogate, Tennessee, its reallotment from Harrogate to Halls 
Crossroads, Tennessee, and the modification of the Station WMYL(FM) (formerly WXJB(FM)) license, 
accordingly. JBD submitted this request pursuant to the provisions of Section 1.420(i) of the 
Commission’s rules.3 The R&O compared these mutually exclusive proposals for first local services, 
granted JBD’s counterproposal, and denied Meredith’s rulemaking petition based on our policy of 
preferring a first local service to the community with the larger population.4   
3. RTA filed a Petition for Reconsideration of the R&O and subsequently submitted a 
request for dismissal of its petition for reconsideration. RTA contends that approval of the withdrawal of 
the Petition for Reconsideration is consistent with Section 1.420(j) because neither RTA nor any of its 
  
1 Lake City, Chattanooga, Harrogate, and Halls Crossroads, Tennessee, Report and Order, 20 FCC Rcd 73942 (MB 
2005) (“R&O”).
2 Lake City and Chattanooga, Tennessee, Notice of Proposed Rule Making, 18 FCC Rcd 10393 (MB 2002) 
(“NPRM”).
3 This rule permits the modification of a station’s authorization to specify a new community of license without 
affording other interested parties an opportunity to file competing expressions of interest.
4 On March 1, 2006, an application was granted for the assignment of the license for Station WMYL(FM) from JBD 
to M & M Broadcasting.  See File No. BALH-20051228ADR.  M&M closed on the approved transaction on April 
18, 2006.

principals have been paid or promised any consideration for the withdrawal of the petition.5     
4. We approve RTA’s withdrawal of its Petition for Reconsideration and find no reason for 
further consideration of the matters raised therein.  The withdrawal of the Petition for Reconsideration
complies with Section 1.420(j) because RTA has documented that neither it nor its principals have or will 
receive any consideration in exchange for the withdrawal of its petition.  
5. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, That the Petition for Reconsideration filed by Reynolds
Technical Associates, LLC IS DISMISSED.
6. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, That this proceeding IS TERMINATED.
7. For further information concerning this proceeding, contact Andrew J. Rhodes, Audio 
Division, Media Bureau (202) 418-2180.
