                        REPORT AND ORDER
                     (Proceeding Terminated)

   Adopted:  January 3, 2001            Released:  January 12, 2001

By the Chief, Allocations Branch:

     1.  In response to a petition filed by Vermont Community Radio ("petitioner"), the Commission
has before it the Notice of Proposed Rule Making, 15 FCC Rcd 15912 (2000), proposing the allotment
of Channel 223A to Fair Haven, Vermont, as the community's first local aural service.  Neither the
petitioner nor any other party filed comments in response to the Notice.

     2.  As stated in the Notice, a showing of continuing interest is required before a channel will be
allotted and thus it is the Commission's general policy to refrain from making an allotment absent such an
expressed intention to apply for the channel.  Therefore, since no such continuing interest has been
expressed here, we will dismiss petitioner's proposal.

     3.  Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, That the petition of Vermont Community Radio (RM-9935)
requesting the allotment of Channel 223A to Fair Haven, Vermont, IS DISMISSED.

     4.  IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, That this proceeding IS TERMINATED.

     5.  For further information concerning this proceeding, contact Leslie K. Shapiro, Mass Media
Bureau, (202) 418-2180.
