ACTION: Final rule. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: This document dismisses a petition for rule making filed by Happy Nice Valley Broadcasting requesting the allotment of Channel 252A to Riverdale, California, as that locality's first local aural transmission service (RM-8795). The proposal is dismissed based upon the lack of interest by the petitioner or any other interested party to provide information, as requested, to establish that Riverdale constitutes a bona fide ``community'', as that term is defined for purposes of Section 307(b) of the Communications Act, as amended by the Telecommunications Act of 1996, for allotment objectives. See 61 FR 30585, June 17, 1996. However, in response to a counterproposal filed by Radio Coalinga Latino, Channel 252A is allotted to the incorporated community of Huron, California, as that locality's first local aural transmission service (RM-8860). Coordinates used for Channel 252A at Huron, California, are 36-15-41 and 120-04-19. With this action, the proceeding is terminated. DATES: Effective April 21, 1997. The window period for filing applications on Channel 252A at Huron, California, will open on April 21, 1997, and close on May 22, 1997.
