entity. The letter must include the name 

of the new, foreign-organized entity and 

a certification by the licensee that the 

entity complies with the 100 percent 

common ownership and control 

requirement in paragraph (d)(1) of this 

section. The letter must also reference 

the licensee’s foreign ownership 

ruling(s) by IBFS File No. and FCC 

Record citation, if available. This letter 

notification need not be filed if the 

ownership change is instead the subject 

of a pro forma application or pro forma 

notification already filed with the 

Commission pursuant to the relevant 

wireless radio service rules or satellite 

radio service rules applicable to the 

licensee. 

(e) New petition for declaratory ruling 

required. A licensee that has received a 

foreign ownership ruling, including a 

U.S.-organized successor-in-interest to 

such licensee formed as part of a pro 

forma reorganization, or any subsidiary 

or affiliate relying on such licensee’s 

ruling pursuant to paragraph (b) of this 

section, shall file a new petition for 

declaratory ruling under § 1.990 to 

obtain Commission approval before its 

foreign ownership exceeds the routine 

terms and conditions of this section, 

and/or any specific terms or conditions 

of its ruling. 

(f)(1) Continuing compliance. If at any 

time the licensee, including any 

successor-in-interest and any subsidiary 

or affiliate as described in paragraph (b) 

of this section, knows, or has reason to 

know, that it is no longer in compliance 

with its foreign ownership ruling or the 

Commission’s rules relating to foreign 

ownership, it shall file a statement with 

the Commission explaining the 

circumstances within 30 days of the 

date it knew, or had reason to know, 

that it was no longer in compliance 

therewith. Subsequent actions taken by 

or on behalf of the licensee to remedy 

its non-compliance shall not relieve it of 

the obligation to notify the Commission 

of the circumstances (including 

duration) of non-compliance. Such 

licensee and any controlling companies, 

whether U.S.- or foreign–organized, 

shall be subject to enforcement action 

by the Commission for such noncompliance, including an order 

requiring divestiture of the investor’s 

direct and/or indirect interests in such 

entities. 

(2) Any individual or entity that, 

directly or indirectly, creates or uses a 

trust, proxy, power of attorney, or any 

other contract, arrangement, or device 

with the purpose or effect of divesting 

itself, or preventing the vesting, of an 

equity interest or voting interest in the 

licensee, or in a controlling U.S. parent 

company, as part of a plan or scheme to 

evade the application of the 

Commission’s rules or policies under 

section 310(b) shall be subject to 

enforcement action by the Commission, 

including an order requiring divestiture 

of the investor’s direct and/or indirect 

interests in such entities.
