The Audio Division, on its own motion, proposes the deletion of six vacant allotments in various communities in Alaska, Colorado, and Texas. We tentatively conclude that it is in the public interest to delete six FCC-held permits that have been offered in two FM auctions. No bids were entered for these allotments in the recently completed FM Auction 94 and these allotments are now considered unsold permits. Deletion of these allotments may create other opportunities in nearby communities for new FM allotments or upgrades of existing stations. Therefore, we believe that the proposed deletion of these vacant allotments may promote a more effective and efficient use of the FM broadcast spectrum. Interested parties must file comments expressing an interest in the vacant allotments to prevent their removal. Moreover, interested parties must provide an explanation as to why they did not participate in prior auction events for any permit in which an interest is expressed.
