ACTION: Proposed rule; dismissal. AGENCY: SUMMARY: The Audio Division, at the request of Scott D. Parker, dismisses the petition for rule making proposing the allotment of Channel 300C1 at Idaho Falls, Idaho, as the community’s six local commercial FM transmission service (RM–10526). See 67 FR 63874, October 16, 2002. At the request of Sand Hill Media Corporation, we also dismiss the counterproposal proposing the substitution of Channel 299C1 for Channel 296C1, the reallotment of Channel 299C1 from Idaho Falls to Iona, Idaho, and the modification of Station KQEO(FM)’s license accordingly (RM– 10771). 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 grant the requests to dismiss the Idaho Falls and Iona, Idaho petitions. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Sharon P. McDonald, Media Bureau, (202) 418–2180.
