                     WC Docket No. 19-49            WC Docket No. 19-50

Dear Ms. Dortch:

The U.S. Department of Justice, with the concurrence of the U.S. Department of Homeland
Security and the U.S. Department of Defense (collectively, “the Agencies”), requests that the
Federal Communications Commission (“Commission”) defer action on the petition filed under
Section 310(b)(4) of the Communications Act by MIP IV MidWest Fiber, LLC, and the related
matters referenced above, and refer the above-referenced matters to the Agencies for review. The
Agencies will review the petition and related materials for national-security, law-enforcement,
and public-safety issues. After the Agencies complete the review of the petition and related
materials, the Agencies will notify the Commission and, based on the results of the review,
request appropriate action by the Commission.

The Agencies will advise the Commission promptly after the Agencies complete their review of
the information relating to the above-referenced matters.

Thank you for your consideration.

                                                    Sincerely,
                                                    /s/
