NOTICE OF EXEMPTION PETITION WITHDRAWALS AND DISMISSALS 
CG Docket No. 06-181
By this Notice, the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC’s or Commission’s) Consumer 
and Governmental Affairs Bureau (Bureau) announces the dismissal, without prejudice, of certain 
petitions for exemption from the Commission’s closed captioning requirements listed herein.
1
  
The Commission’s closed captioning rules allow video programming providers, producers, or 
owners to obtain an exemption from the closed captioning requirements if they demonstrate that 
providing captions on their programming would be “economically burdensome.”
2
  On various dates, the 
petitioners listed in the Appendix filed petitions for closed captioning exemptions under these rules.  The 
Bureau then placed each of these petitions on public notice.  However, before the Commission 
determined whether to grant or deny the requests for an exemption, these petitioners provided written 
notification to the Commission that their programs were no longer on the air and that they wished to 
withdraw their petitions, thereby rendering their petitions moot.  Therefore, on varying dates, we notified 
each petitioner listed in the Appendix that we would dismiss their petition without prejudice.  This Notice
serves to inform the general public that these petitions have been dismissed. 
To request materials in accessible formats for people with disabilities (Braille, large print, 
electronic files, audio format), send an e-mail to fcc504@fcc.gov or call the Consumer and Governmental 
Affairs Bureau at 202-418-0530 (voice) or 202-418-0432 (TTY).  This Public Notice can also be down-
