As indicated below, these petitions for reconsideration or applications
for review were filed against decisions in the following 800 MHz SMR
finder\'s preference cases. In these cases, the Bureau\'s Office of
Operations had issued a finder\'s preference award or a partial
finder\'s preference award for an 800 MHz SMR station. The finder and
the target licensee or the target\'s successor licensee (\"Parties\")
have now settled the case and have requested that the petition(s) for
reconsideration or application(s) for review as well as the underlying
finder\'s preference request(s) be withdrawn. The Parties have also
requested that the award be set aside. The Division hereby reinstates
the license(s) for the target licensee, unless the Parties requested
otherwise.[^7] The Division has reviewed the petitions for
reconsideration and finds that they raise no substantial or material
questions of fact under Sections 309 and 405 of the Communications Act,
as amended, 47 U.S.C. §§ 309 and 405. The Division has further reviewed
and hereby approves the withdrawals of the petitions or applications for
review in accordance with sections 1.106, 1.1115, 1.935,
90.173(k)(1994), and 0.331 of the Commission\'s rules[^8] and *Public
