                             AUTHORIZATIONS AND LICENSES


           The Department of Justice (“DOJ”) and the Department of Homeland Security

(“DHS”)(“the Agencies”) submit this Petition to Adopt Conditions to Authorizations and

Licenses (“Petition”), pursuant to Section 1.41 of the Federal Communications Commission

(“Commission”) rules.1 Through this Petition, the Agencies advise the Commission that they

have no objection to the Commission approving the authority sought in the above-referenced

proceeding, provided that the Commission conditions its approval on the assurance of

Teledirek Global Corporation to abide by the commitments and undertakings set forth in the

March 3, 2014 Letter of Assurances (“LOA”), which is attached hereto. The above-referenced

proceeding involves an application filed with the Commission by Teledirek Global Corporation

for authority under section 214 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, to provide

international resold and facilities-based services to all international points.

           The Commission has long recognized that law enforcement, national security, and public

safety concerns are part of its public interest analysis, and has accorded deference to the views of

other U.S. government agencies with expertise in those areas. See In the Matter of Comsat

1
    47 C.F.R. § 1.41.


Corporation d/b/a Comsat Mobile Communications, etc., 16 FCC Rcd. 21,661, 21707 ¶ 94

(2001).

          After discussions with representatives of Teledirek Global Corporation in connection

with the above-referenced proceeding, the Agencies have concluded that the additional

commitments set forth in the LOA will help ensure that the Agencies with responsibility for

enforcing the law, protecting the national security, and preserving public safety, can proceed

appropriately to satisfy those responsibilities. Accordingly, the Agencies advise the Commission

that they have no objection to the Commission granting the application in the above-referenced

proceeding, provided that the Commission conditions its consent on compliance with the LOA.



Respectfully submitted,
