Radio Broadcasting Services; Harrisville and Presque Isle, MI

AGENCY:

Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION:

Proposed rule, dismissal.

SUMMARY:

This document dismisses at the request of Petitioner Northern Paul Bunyan Radio Company its pending petitions for rulemaking to allot Channel 227A at Presque Isle, Michigan in MB Docket No. 02-106, RM-10416 and to allot Channel 226A at Harrisville, Michigan in MB Docket No. 02-108, RM-10418. See 67 FR 39933, published June 11, 2002. This document also dismisses a counterproposal filed by Northern Michigan Radio, Inc. which proposes inter alia to reallot Channel 223C1 from Atlanta, Michigan to Vanderbilt, Michigan, and conflicts with both the proposals for Presque Isle and Harrisville. The counterproposal is defective because it proposes to allot Channel 282C3 at Atlanta, Michigan as a “backfill” replacement for the loss of the community's sole local transmission service. This document therefore terminates the proceedings in MB Docket Nos. 02-106 and 02-108.
