The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) is correcting a final rule that appeared in the Federal Register of March 18, 2010 (75 FR 12962).

FM TABLE OF ALLOTMENTS, Stonewall, Texas
The Audio Division denies the petition for rule making filed by Katherine Pyeatt, proposing the allotment of Channel 280A at Stonewall, Texas, as the community's first local transmission service. The reason for the denial is that the proposal is mutually exclusive with a prior-filed and cut-off application for FM Station KXXS that includes a proposal to substitute Channel 280A for Channel 223A at Burnet, Texas. It is Commission policy to protect applications against subsequently-filed and conflicting rule-making proposals. For that reason, the Audio Division denied the petition for rule making and terminated the proceeding without adoption of a final rule.
