The Federal Bureau of Investigation (“FBI”), which is part of the U.S. Department of Justice,

submits 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 FBI advises the Commission that it has 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 Sheng Li Telecom International LLC

(“Sheng Li”) to abide by the commitments and undertakings set forth in the February 9, 2015

Letter of Agreement (“LOA”), which is attached hereto.

           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

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

(2001).

           After discussions with representatives of Sheng Li in connection with the above-

    47 C.F.R. § 1.41.


referenced proceeding, the FBI has concluded that the additional commitments set forth in the

LOA will help ensure that the FBI, which has the responsibility of enforcing the law, protecting

the national security, and preserving public safety, can proceed appropriately to satisfy those

responsibilities. Accordingly, the FBI advises the Commission that it has 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.
