RE:      Potential Dismissal of International Section 214 Application
         File No.: ITC—214—20160729—00227

Dear Mr. Sesar:

        We are resending this letter with a revised date by which to respond because the original letter,
dated August 4, 2017 (with a response due by September 5, 2017), was sent back due to an incomplete
address on the envelope.

         On July 29, 2016, STS Media, Inc. (STS Media) filed an application for international Section
214 authority (File No. ITC—214—20160729—00227). STS Media has a delinquent debt and thus the
Commission cannot act on the application at this time. On November 10, 2016, the Department of
Justice, with the concurrence of the Department of Defense and the Department of Homeland Security,
requested that the Commission defer action on the application while they conduct a review for any
national security, law enforcement, or public safety concerns.‘ STS Media must make full payment of
the debt owed before the Commission can act on the application once that review is completed. If the
payment is not made within 30 days, we will dismiss the application without prejudice pursuant to
Section 1.1910(b)(3) of the Commission‘s rules."

         Section 1.1910(a)(1) of the Commission‘s rules requires the Commission to examine each
application to determine whether the applicant is delinquent in any non—tax debt owed to the
Commission." Section 1.1910(b)(2) of the Commission‘s rules requires the Commission to withhold
action on applications, including requests for authorization, by any entity found to be delinquent in its
debt to the Commission.* Section 1.1910(b)(3) of the Commission‘s rules states that "[i]f a
delinquency has not been paid or the debtor has not made other satisfactory arrangements within 30

days of the date of the notice provided pursuant to paragraph (b)(2) of this section, the application or
request for authorization will be dismissed.""

        Accordingly, pursuant to Sections 0.261 and 1.1910 of the Commission‘s rules,° we hereby
provide notice that STS Media‘s international Section 214 application will be dismissed without
prejudice on Monday, October 2, 2017 if the non—tax debt is not paid. Please visit the Red Light
Display System‘s website for information on how to pay this debt.‘ We look forward to your prompt
attention to this matter.
