ISP-AMD-20121129-00009 P Choice Holdings LLC Amendment Grant of Authority Date of Action: 01/28/2013 Choice Holdings, LLC (Choice Holdings) amends its petition for declaratory ruling under section 310(b)(4) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. § 310(b)(4), related to Wireless Communications Services (WCS) licenses. See ISP-PDR-20110726-00007. Specifically, Choice Holdings requests the ruling only apply to the WCS license that its subsidiary Choice Phone, LLC will acquire from Cellutec, Inc.

ISP-PDR-20110726-00007 E Choice Holdings LLC Petition for Declaratory Ruling Grant of Authority Date of Action: 01/28/2013 Choice Holdings LLC (Choice Holdings or the "Petitioner") requests that the Commission extend its existing declaratory rulings under section 310(b)(4) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. § 310(b)(4), to cover the Wireless Communications Services (WCS) license that its subsidiary Choice Phone, LLC will acquire from Cellutec, Inc. (Call Sign KNLB242). See ULS File No. 0004785044. Petitioner states that its earlier rulings authorized the indirect foreign ownership in excess of the 25 percent benchmark set forth in section 310(b)(4) of Choice Phone (Specialized Mobile Radio, 700 MHz, Advanced Wireless Services (AWS), and broadband Personal Communications Service (PCS) licenses), and Wave Runner LLC (broadband PCS licenses). Choice Holdings and Choice Phone are limited liability companies organized under the laws of Guam. According to the Petitioner, Choice Holdings holds directly approximately 100 percent of the equity and voting interests in Choice Phone. Richard C. Yu, a U.S. citizen, holds directly less than 1 percent of the equity and voting interests in Choice Phone. The direct equity and voting interests in Choice Holdings, in turn, are held as follows: (1) Ronnie S. Lim, a citizen of the Philippines, a World Trade Organization (WTO) Member country (35%), (2) Richard C. Yu, a U.S. citizen (18%) (3) Jeselyn T. Yu, a U.S. citizen (18%), and (4) Angelie C. Ong, a U.S. citizen (29%). According to the petition, Mr. Yu is the Managing Member of, and has de facto control over, Choice Holdings, Choice Phone, and Wave Runner. Petitioner's existing rulings permit Choice Phone and Wave Runner to be owned indirectly by Ronnie S. Lim, a citizen of the Philippines, in an amount up to and including 35% of their equity and voting interests. Choice Phone and Wave Runner may accept up to and including an additional, aggregate 25% indirect foreign equity and/or voting interests from other foreign investors without seeking further Commission approval under section 310(b)(4). See ISP-PDR-20050624-00008, DA 07-3402, 22 FCC Rcd 13652 (IB 2007); ISP-PDR-20080102-00008, DA 08-1223, 23 FCC Rcd 8372 (IB 2008); ISP-PDR-20080702-00017, DA 09-1114, 24 FCC Rcd 5779 (IB 2009). Pursuant to section 310(b)(4) and the rules and policies established in the Commission's Foreign Participation Order, 12 FCC Rcd 23891 (1997), Order on Reconsideration, 15 FCC Rcd 18158 (2000), we find that the public interest would be served by granting the Petitioner's request as to the WCS license Choice Phone is acquiring, subject to the condition specified below. Accordingly, we extend the existing foreign ownership ruling for Choice Holdings to cover the specific licenses that its subsidiary, Choice Phone, will acqire from Cellutec. We grant the Petition to Adopt Conditions (Petition) filed in this proceeding on January 28, 2013, by the Department of Justice, with the concurrence of the Department of Homeland Security. Accordingly, we condition grant of the petition on Choice Holdings abiding by its commitments and undertakings contained in its July 19, 2007 letter to Sigal P. Mandelker, Elaine N. Lammert, and Stewart A. Baker, (July 19, 2007 Letter). The Petition and the July 19, 2007 Letter are publicly available in the record of this proceeding and may be viewed on the FCC web-site through the International Bureau Filing System (IBFS) by searching for ISP-PDR-20110726-00007 and accessing "Other filings related to this application" from the Document Viewing Area.

The list applies to all U.S. international carriers, including those that have previously received global or limited global Section 214 authority, whether by Public Notice or specific written order. Carriers are advised that the attached Exclusion List is subject to amendment at any time pursuant to the procedures set forth in Streamlining the International Section 214 Authorization Process and Tariff Requirements, IB Docket No. 95-118, 11 FCC Rcd 12884 (1996), para. 18. A copy of the current Exclusion List will be maintained in the FCC Reference and Information Center and will be available at http://www.fcc.gov/ib/pd/pf/telecomrules.html#exclusionlist. It also will be attached to each Public Notice that grants international Section 214 authority. (2) The export of telecommunications services and related payments to countries that are subject to economic sanctions may be restricted. For information concerning current restrictions, call the Office of Foreign Assets Control, U.S. Department of the Treasury, (202) 622-2520. (3) Carriers shall comply with the requirements of Section 63.11 of the Commission's rules, which requires notification by, and in certain circumstances prior notification by, U.S. carriers acquiring an affiliation with foreign carriers.

(4) Carriers shall comply with the Commission's International Settlements Policy and associated filing requirements contained in Sections 43.51, 64.1001 and 64.1002 of the Commission's Rules, 47 C.F.R. §§ 43.51, 64.1001, 64.1002.

In addition, any carrier interconnecting private lines to the U.S. public switched network at its switch, including any switch in which the carrier obtains capacity either through lease or otherwise, shall file annually with the Chief, International Bureau, a certified statement containing, on a country-specific basis, the number and type (e.g., 64 kbps circuits) of private lines interconnected in such manner. The Commission will treat the country of origin information as confidential. Carriers need not file their contracts for interconnection unless the Commission specifically requests. Carriers shall file their annual report on February 1 (covering international private lines interconnected during the preceding January 1 to December 31 period) of each year. International private lines to countries which the Commission has exempted from the International Settlements Policy at any time during a particular reporting period are exempt from this requirement. See 47 C.F.R. § 43.51(d). The Commission's list of U.S. international routes that are exempt from the International Settlements Policy may be viewed at http://www.fcc.gov/ib/pd/pf/isp_exempt.html.
