Radio Broadcasting Services; St. Simons Island, GA

This document requests comments on a Petition for Rule Making filed by Nancy C. Harper requesting the allotment of Channel 229C3 at St. Simons Island, Georgia, and a mutually exclusive Petition for Rule Making filed by Murphy Broadcasting requesting the allotment of Channel 229A to St. Simons Island. Either allotment would provide that community with its second local aural transmission service. To accommodate Harper's requested allotment of Channel 229C3, Harper requests the reclassification of FM Station WOGK, Channel 229C, Ocala, Florida, to specify operation on Channel 229C0 pursuant to the reclassification procedures adopted by the Commission. See 1998 Biennial Regulatory Review--Streamlining of Radio Technical Rules in Parts 73 and 74 of the Commission's Rules, 65 FR 79773 (December 20, 2000). In response to an Order to Show Cause why Station WOGK should not be downgraded from Channel 229C to 229C0, the licensee of FM Station WOGK stated that it would file an acceptable application meeting minimum Class C FM standards within the period required by our rules. Since the licensee filed an application that was deficient, and since the deficient application filed has been dismissed
