Bureau:

     1.   In this Order,  we deny  Clear Channel  Communications, 
Inc.'s (``Clear  Channel''),  the ultimate  corporate  parent  of 
Citicasters Co., requests that we keep confidential its March 17, 
2000 and  May  1,  2000  responses  to  our  letters  of  inquiry 
concerning a complaint filed by Paula J. Sage.

     2.   The entire justification  for Clear Channel's  requests 
for confidentiality is contained in the following sentence:  ``In 
view of  the fact  that  the matters  discussed in  the  enclosed 
response are the subject of threatened litigation, Clear  Channel 
respectfully requests  that  it  be  kept  confidential.''   This 
request wholly fails to  comply with the  standards set forth  in 
Section 0.459(b).  Therefore, we will  deny it.  See 47 C.F.R.  § 
0.459(c).

     3.   ACCORDINGLY,    Clear     Channel's    requests     for 
confidentiality contained in its March  17, 2000 and May 1,  2000 
letters ARE DENIED.   Any application for  review of this  ruling 
must be  filed within  five business  days of  the date  of  this 
letter. Section 0.459(g) of the  Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R.  §

     4.   IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that  a copy of this Order  shall
