           The U.S. Department of Justice (“USDOJ”), to include its components, the National

Security Division (“NSD”) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (“FBI”), 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 USDOJ 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 Emveno LLC (“Emveno”) to abide

by the commitments and undertakings set forth in the April 28, 2015 Letter of Agreement

(“LOA”), a copy of 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

       After discussions with representatives of E m v e n o in connection with the above-

referenced proceeding, the USDOJ, NSD and FBI have 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 USDOJ 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.

            Communications Act of 1934, as amended.

                    Emveno is a Delaware corporation headquartered at 401 East Jackson

                    Emveno agrees that its intended future services offerings are covered by all
            applicable lawful interception statutes, regulations, and requirements, including the
