In this Memorandum Opinion and

Order, the Commission refers to Section

310(d) of the Communications Act,

which forbids the assignment of a radio

license or transfer of control of a radio

licensee corporation without obtaining

prior Commission consent. On February

4, 1998, the Commission held that there

was sufficient justification in the record

to forbear from enforcing the

requirements of Section 310(d) of the

Communications Act as they apply to

all telecommunications carriers licensed

by the Wireless Telecommunications

Bureau (Bureau). However, as noted by

WJG MariTEL Corporation (MariTEL),

when the Commission listed the

categories of telecommunications

carriers who were licensed by the

Bureau, it did not include

telecommunications carriers licensed

and regulated under Part 80 of the

Commission’s Rules. Under the

Commission’s Rules, licenses in the

Maritime (ship) Radio Services may not

be assigned. Therefore, Maritime (ship)

Radio Services licenses are not subject

to Section 310(d) of the

Communications Act. On the other

hand, Public Coast Stations, which are

located on land, may be assigned under

the Commission’s Rules. Accordingly,

the Commission will grant MariTEL’s

request and will extend forbearance

from the requirements of Section 310(d)

of the Communications Act for pro

forma applications to

telecommunications carriers licensed

and regulated under Part 80 of the

Commission’s Rules because these

carriers provide telecommunications for

a fee directly to the public.

Secretary.
