                                  ORDER


   Adopted:  October 15, 1997                                          Released:  October 20, 1997  

By the Commission:

      We consider herein a Request for Rescission of Forfeiture filed by WCMS Radio Norfolk, Inc.
("the licensee").  On September 10, 1996, the Commission issued a Notice of Apparent Liability for
Forfeiture in the amount of $14,000, finding that the licensee had violated the Commission's EEO Rule. 
See WCMS Radio Norfolk, Inc., 11 FCC Rcd 11081 (1996) ("NAL").  On September 9, 1997, pursuant
to 47 C.F.R. Section 1.80(f)(4) of the Commission's Rules, 47 C.F.R.  1.80(f)(4), the Commission
issued a Forfeiture Order as the Commission's records did not indicate that the licensee had responded
to the NAL.  See WCMS Radio Norfolk, Inc., FCC 97-314 (Rel. September 9, 1997) ("Forfeiture
Order").  On September 12, 1997, the licensee submitted a letter to the Commission's staff stating that
the licensee had paid the forfeiture, and included a copy of a check by which it claimed to have paid the
forfeiture.  We note that the check did not include a control number, and it does not appear that payment
had been credited to this proceeding at the time the Forfeiture Order was released.  We conclude,
however, that the licensee has presented valid proof of payment of the forfeiture.  Accordingly, the
Forfeiture Order is hereby rescinded.
