          Re:        WC Docket No. 15-133 (DA 15-703)
                     ITC-T/C-20150604-00140 (Executive Branch Letters 15-17 and 15-18)

Dear Ms. Dortch:

       The Department of Justice (“DOJ”), including the Federal Bureau of Investigation
(“FBI”), with the concurrence of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (“DHS”) and the
U.S. Department of Defense (“DOD”), requests that the Federal Communications Commission
(“Commission”) defer action on the above-referenced proceedings. DOJ, DHS, and DOD (“the
Agencies”) are currently reviewing these matters for any national security, law enforcement, and
public safety issues but have not yet completed that effort. We therefore request that the
Commission defer action until such time as the Agencies notify the Commission of the
completion of their review and, based on the results of such review, request appropriate action by
the Commission.

          DOJ, DHS, and DOD will advise the Commission promptly upon completion of our
review.

          Thank you for your consideration.


                                                     Sincerely,



                                                     Kristin A. Taylor
                                                     Attorney
                                                     National Security Division
                                                     U.S. Department of Justice
