These applications are for authority under Section 214 of the Communications Act, 47 U.S.C. § 214, (a) to transfer control of an authorized carrier or to assign a carrier's existing authorization; and/or (b) to become a facilities-based international common carrier; and/or (c) to become a resale-based international common carrier. 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. The requested rulings will be granted 14 days after the date of this public notice, effective the next day, unless the application is formally opposed or the Commission has informed the applicant in writing, within 14 days of the date of this public notice, that the application, on further examination, has been deemed ineligible for streamlined processing. 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. The center can be contacted at (202) 418-0270.

We request that comments on any of these applications refer to the application file number shown below. Page 1 of 3

ISP-PDR-20010606-00056 CELLULAR COMMUNICATIONS OF PUERTO RICO INC Petition for Declaratory Ruling Request for authority to exceed the 25% indirect foreign ownership benchmark in Section 310(b)(4) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended. This request is submitted in connection with the notification of a pro forma transfer of control of licensee-subsidiaries of Cellular Communications of Puerto Rico, Inc. (CCPR). The pro forma transfer of control resulted from the spin-off by Telefonos de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. (Telmex) of its Mexican wireless and certain non-Mexican businesses to America Movil, a newly formed company. As part of that spin-off, which entitled each holder of Telmex shares to an equal number of corresponding America Movil shares, Telmex transferred its 50% non-controlling investment in CCPR’s parent company, SBC International – Puerto Rico Inc. (SBCIPR), to America Movil. America Movil holds the investment through Sercotel, S.A. de C.V. (Sercotel), a wholly owned Mexican holding company. Sercotel wholly owns Radiomovil Dipsa, S.A. de C.V. (Telcel), a Mexican company that wholly owns Subdipsa LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, which holds America Movil’s investment in SBCIPR. The parties state that the Commission previously authorized CCPR’s common carrier licensees to be owned indirectly by Telmex, other Mexican shareholders of Telmex, and France Telecom (which has since sold its shares), all of whom are from WTO member countries. The ruling also stated that if “indirect ownership of CCPR’s licensee-subsidiaries by other foreign entities (including foreign ownership of Telmex, SBC, and France Telecom) exceeds in the aggregate 25 percent, additional Commission authority would be necessary.” See Wireless Telecommunications Bureau and International Bureau Complete Review of Proposed Investment by Telefonos de Mexico, S.A.de C.V. in Parent of Cellular Communications of Puerto Rico, Public Notice, 15 FCC Rcd 1227 (1999). The parties certify that indirect ownership of CCPR’s licensee-subsidiaries by foreign investors other than Mexican individuals or entities (including foreign ownership of America Movil and SBC) does not in the aggregate exceed 25 percent. The parties also assert that, under the criteria set forth in the Commission’s Foreign Carrier Entry Order, 11 FCC Rcd 3873 (1995), the principal place of business of both America Movil and Telcel is Mexico, a WTO member country.
