SUMMARY: The Audio Division, on its own motion, deletes four vacant

from the FM Table, because there were no bona fide expressions of 
interest filed to retain these four vacant allotments. Deletion of 
these allotments may create other opportunities in nearby communities 
for new FM allotments or upgrades of existing stations. We conclude 
that the deletion of these vacant allotments could promote a more 
effective and efficient use of the FM broadcast spectrum. See
