                             AUTHORIZATIONS AND LICENSES


           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 I-New USA, Inc. (“I-New”) to abide

by the commitments and undertakings set forth in its May 29, 2017 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

(2001).

    47 C.F.R. § 1.41.


       After discussions with representatives of I-New 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.


      Respectfully submitted.
