Pursuant to Section 63.12 of the rules, these Section 214 applications will be granted 14 days after the date of this public notice (see 47 C.F.R. § 1.4 regarding computation of time), and the applicant may commence operations on the 15th day, unless the Commission has informed the applicant in writing, within 14 days after the date of this public notice, that the application, on further examination, has been deemed ineligible for streamlined processing. Communications between outside parties and Commission staff concerning these applications are permitted subject to the Commission's rules for "permit-but-disclose proceedings." See 47 C.F.R. § 1.1206. An application can be removed from streamlined processing only in the sound discretion of Commission staff. The filing of comments or a petition to deny will not necessarily result in an application being deemed ineligible for streamlined processing. The petitions for declaratory ruling listed below are (1) for authority under Section 310(b)(4) of the Communications Act, 47 U.S.C. § 310(b)(4), to exceed the 25 percent foreign ownership benchmark applicable to common carrier radio licensees, or (2) under Section 63.16 of the rules, to add a foreign market to the list of markets for which carriers may provide switched services over private lines.

For this purpose, a formal opposition shall be sufficient only if it is received by the Commission and by the applicant within 14 days of the date of this public notice and its caption and text make it unmistakably clear that it is intended to be a formal opposition. Copies of all applications listed here are available for public inspection in the FCC Office of Public Affairs Reference and Information Center, located in room CY-A257 at the Portals 2 building, 445 12th Street SW, Washington DC 20554.

ISP-PDR-20010522-00029 GENERAL ELECTRIC CAPITAL CORPORATION Petition for Declaratory Ruling Proposal to exceed the 25 percent indirect foreign ownership benchmark of Section 310(b)(4) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended. This proposal has been submitted in connection with an application, filed by General Electric Capital Corporation, for approval of a pro forma transfer of control to a foreign corporation of common carrier satellite space and earth station licenses held by GE American Communications, Inc. (GE Americom) and Columbia Communications Corporation. The application for pro forma transfer of control states that, after the proposed pro forma transfer of control, GE Americom and its wholly owned subsidiary Columbia would continue to be wholly owned by GE Subsidiary, Inc. 22 (GE Sub-22), a U.S. corporation. CFE, Inc., also a U.S. corporation which currently owns 100% of the common stock of GE Sub-22, would continue to hold 25.4% of the common stock of GE Sub-22. A new wholly owned subsidiary of CFE, GE Capital Luxembourg Holdings Limited (Gibraltar) (Gibraltar Sub), would acquire the remaining 74.6% of the common stock of GE Sub-22. Applicant states that Gibraltar Sub is a corporation established in Gibraltar in preparation for the proposed transfer of control to SES Global S.A. of licenses and authorizations held by GE Americom and Columbia (satellite space, earth station, and microwave licenses, and Section 214 authorizations). See Public Notice, Satellite Policy Branch Information, GE American Communications, Inc. - Application for Transfer of Control to SES Global S.A., Report No. SAT-00071, rel. Apr. 20, 2001. Applicant asserts that, pursuant to the rules and policies established in the Commission's Foreign Participation Order, 12 FCC Rcd 23891 (1997), Order on Reconsideration, FCC 00-330 (rel. Sept. 19, 2000), the "home market" of Gibraltar Sub is the United States. Gibraltar Sub's parent, CFE, is a wholly owned subsidiary of GE Capital Corporation, a U.S. corporation, which in turn is wholly owned by General Electric, also a U.S. corporation. The stock of GE is widely held and publicly traded on the NYSE. Gibraltar Sub is headquartered in Connecticut. All of its directors, and 8 of its 9 officers, are U.S. citizens. Gibraltar Sub is a holding company that will hold no assets other than the common stock of GE Sub-22. The primary business of GE Americom and Columbia is providing U.S. domestic and international telecommunications services, and the overwhelming majority of their sales and revenues are derived from the United States. The majority of the non-space assets of GE Americom and Columbia are located in the United States. ITC-214-20010507-00323 PACIFIC WIRELESS TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
