821 S. MAIN STREET P. O. BOX 1292 HARRISONBURG, VA 22801 (540) 568-3809 Your NPR Station HARRISONBURG 90.7 * CHARLOTTESVILLE 103.5 * WINCHESTER 94.5 * LEXINGTON 89.9 WAIVER REQUEST SUBMITTED WITH ORIGINAL APPLICATION Form 312 Waiver Request * Question 35 * May 28,2019 We inadvertently overlooked the expiration date for our receive/only earth station license, and it has now passed the one month period in which we can petition for reinstatement. Therefore, we are applying for a reinstatement of this license in the form of an application for new license. Since a renewal application would have been permissible even during the DA 18-398 application freeze, we ask asking for a waiver of the current freeze in relation to the instant application to allow for processing. We want to insure that our downlink is accurately represented in your records for the DA 18- 398 process. This waiver request also includes a waiver from the DA19-278 Earth Station certification requirement, since that information is, in fact, certified in the instant application. The license for E9410158 was originally issued on 4/8/1994. The receive/only earth station has been in continuous use since that that time, well before the April 19, 2018 cutoff. Thank you for your consideration in this matter. William D. Fawcett Director of Engineering Attachment: copy of lapsed license - CALLSIGN E030319

This authorization shall not be construed in any manner as a finding by the Commission on the question of marking or lighting of the antenna system should future conditions require. The grantee expressly agrees to install such marking or lighting as the Commission may require under the provisions of Section 303(q) of the Communications Act. 47 U.S.C. § 303(q). Neither this authorization nor the right granted by this authorization shall be assigned or otherwise transferred to any person, firm, company or corporation without the written consent of the Commission. This authorization is subject to the right of use or control by the government of the United States conferred by Section 706 of the Communications Act. 47 U.S.C. § 706.

This authorization shall be automatically forfeited if the station is not ready for operation by the required date of completion of construction unless an application for modification of construction permit for additional time to complete construction is filed by that date, together with a showing that failure to complete construction by the required date was due to factors not under control of the grantee. Licensees are required to pay annual regulatory fees related to this authorization. The requirement to collect annual regulatory fees from regulates is contained in Public Law 103-66, "The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993". These regulatory fees, which are likely to change each fiscal year, are used to offset costs associated with the Commission's enforcement, public service, international and policy and rulemaking activities. The Commission issues a Report and Order each year, setting the new regulatory fee rates. Receive only earth stations are exempt from payment of regulatory fees. Page 3
