File No. SCL-LIC-20170421-00012, Public Notice, Streamlined Submarine Cable Landing License Applications Accepted for Filing, Report No. SCL-00204S (IB, Nov. 1, 2017). Specifically, Applicants amend the application to include updated ownership information for PLDC.

At the time the application was filed PLD Holdings Limited was wholly owned by China Culture Silicon Valley Limited, a holding company organized in Hong Kong. Mr. Wei, Junkang, a citizen of Hong Kong SAR of China, is the sole owner of China Culture Silicon Valley Limited. On December 4, 2017, Dr. Peng Holding Hong Kong Limited acquired a 93% interest in PLD Holdings Limited. China Culture Silicon Valley Limited now holds a 7% interest in PLD Holdings Limited.

REMINDERS: Applicants must certify that neither the applicant nor any party to the application is subject to a denial of federal benefits by federal and/or state courts under authority granted in 21 U.S.C. § 862. See C.F.R. §§ 1.2001-1.2003. By this notice, we inform the public that submarine cable landing license applications and international section 214 applications that are part of larger transactions involving multiple Commission licenses or authorizations may involve "extraordinary circumstances" as referenced in Review of Commission Consideration of Applications under the Cable Landing License Act, Report and Order, 16 FCC Rcd 22167 (2001) and Rules and Policies on Foreign Participation in the U.S. Telecommunications Market, Report and Order and Order on Reconsideration, 12 FCC Rcd 23891 (1997), paras. 327-28, Order on Reconsideration, 15 FCC Rcd 18158 (2000). Additionally, these extraordinary circumstances may result where Executive Branch agencies petition the Commission to defer decision on certain transactions pending the resolution of potential national security, law enforcement, foreign policy and trade policy issues. Accordingly, these applications may not be acted on within the 90-day review period that the Commission has established as the period of time normally required to reach a decision on non-streamlined cable landing licenses and international section 214 applications. This notice shall serve as public notice to applicants that, in these circumstances, additional time may be required for Commission review and final action. No additional formal public notice will be provided routinely with respect to specific applications in the event that the applicable review period extends beyond 90 days. Page 2 of 2
