The above referenced applications are subject to the following
conditions: all installment payments must be current on the consummation
date.[^1] Consent is also conditioned upon full payment of any required
unjust enrichment payments on or before the consummation date. *See* 47
C.F.R. § 1.2111(c) and (d). In addition, the approval of each assignment
is conditioned upon the execution of all Commission loan documents by
the assignor, assignee and the Commission, unless the license being
assigned has been paid in full. Where applicable, the Bureau will send
all assignors listed herein the appropriate loan documents and financing
statements upon notification of the proposed consummation date.

We approve these assignments of license applications because we find
they are in the public interest, convenience, and necessity. *See* 47
U.S.C. § 310(d). By this approval, the parties are authorized to proceed
to the final stages of their respective transactions. Section 1.948(d)
provides that licensees are required to notify the Commission of
consummation using FCC Form 603. *See* 47 C.F.R. §1.948(d). Hence, we
remind parties that an assignment shall not be considered complete until
the underlying transaction closes and all conditions set forth in the
grant documents, including this Public Notice and the application, are
met. In addition, unless the license being assigned has been paid in
full, the approval is conditioned upon the assignee\'s execution of the
applicable financing statements (*i.e.* the UCC-1 Forms) and payment of
all costs associated with the preparation and recordation of the
financing statements, on

or before the consummation date. The assignee will provide the
Commission with its most current filed charter documents and applicable
organization identification number on or before the consummation date.
Upon receipt of the filing required by Section 1.948(d) of the
Commission's rules, and satisfaction of all requisite conditions,
including execution of the appropriate documents, the Bureau will
consider the assignment "complete" and will issue the license to the
assignee.

Failure of the parties to comply with Section 1.948(d) of the
Commission\'s rules, or any specific condition described above, will
result in automatic cancellation of the Commission\'s assignment
approval, and dismissal of the underlying assignment applications.

To notify the Bureau of the proposed consummation date and to request
loan documents and financing statements, contact Rita Cookmeyer or
Yolanda Lee at (202) 418-0660. Requests for loan documents and financing
statements should be made at least 10 days prior to consummation.

This Public Notice is issued by the Chief, Wireless Telecommunications
Bureau.
