Abstract
The Audio Division, on its own motion, deletes four vacant allotments in various communities in Arkansas, Michigan, Montana, and Washington. These vacant allotments have been auctioned through our competitive bidding process, and are considered unsold permits that were included in Auction 93. We are deleting these vacant allotments from the FM Table, because there were no bona fide expressions of interest filed to retain these four vacant allotments. Deletion of these allotments may create other opportunities in nearby communities for new FM allotments or upgrades of existing stations. We conclude that the deletion of these vacant allotments could promote a more effective and efficient use of the FM broadcast spectrum. See Supplementary Information, supra.
