Report No. DC-2646       ACTION IN DOCKET CASE             
August 25, 1994

              SYLVESTER, GA, FM PROCEEDING REMANDED TO ALJ
                            (MM DOCKET 90-192)

     The Commission has remanded to the Administrative Law Judge
(ALJ) the proceeding involving the mutually exclusive
applications of Thomas W. Lawhorne and CAM Broadcasting, Inc.,
for a new FM station on Channel 271A at Sylvester, GA.

     The Commission earlier granted Lawhorne's application and
denied CAM's, finding that CAM had failed to make a showing in
response to a designated site availability issue.  CAM ultimately
filed an appeal with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District
of Columbia Circuit and on December 28, 1993, the court, finding
that CAM had already adequately satisfied its required showing of
site availability, returned this matter to the Commission for
further proceedings.

     Lawhorne asked the Commission to remand for further hearings
on basic qualifying issues previously specified against CAM but
on which no hearing was ever held - abuse of process, financial
qualifications and misrepresentation.  Such matters could
ultimately result in the denial of CAM's application and the
concomitant grant of Lawhorne's proposal and the general freeze
on comparative broadcast hearings permits the taking of evidence
on already specified basic qualifying issues.

     Action by the Commission August 23, 1994, by Memorandum
Opinion and Order (FCC 94-221).  Chairman Hundt, Commissioners
Quello, Barrett, Ness and Chong.
