Radio Broadcasting Services; Cimarron, NM

Sierra Grande Broadcasting filed a petition for rule making proposing the allotment of Channel 236C2 at Cimarron, New Mexico, as the community's first local aural transmission service. See 67 FR 47502, July 19, 2002. Petitioner subsequently filed an amendment requesting the allotment of Channel 296C1 in lieu of Channel 236C2 at Cimarron, New Mexico. The new proposal to allot Channel 296C1 at Cimarron conflicts with a pending petition to allot Channel 296A at Las Vegas, New Mexico, and will be considered in the context of that proceeding. 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 dismiss petitioner's petition in the instant proceeding.
