SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Comment Sought on In-Flight Phone

Corp. Petition for Declaratory Ruling

April 28, 1995.

On March 16, 1995, In-Flight Phone

Corp. (In-Flight) filed a Petition for

Declaratory Ruling requesting that its

pioneer’s preference (PP) Request filed

in the Narrowband Personal

Communications Services proceeding,

ET Docket No. 92–100, now be

considered in ET Docket No. 94–32,

Allocation of Spectrum Below 5 GHz

Transferred from Federal Government

Use. Specifically, In-Flight requests that

the Commission rule that: (1) Its PP

Request was filed by the deadline

applicable to permit consideration in ET

Docket No. 94–32, in which the Second

Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (Second

NPRM) proposes that the 4660–4685

MHz band be allocated to a General

Wireless Communications Service

(GWCS); and (2) that the request will be

considered in that docket.

In-Flight filed its PP Request in ET

Docket No. 94–100 on October 30, 1992,

seeking a preference in the 901–902

MHz and 940–941 MHz bands for a live

ground-to-air audio news, information,

and entertainment service for airline

passengers. However, because the rules

adopted in ET Docket No. 94–100 were

not related to In-Flight’s proposal, its PP

Request has not been acted upon by the

Commission.

On May 4, 1994, the Commission

released a Notice of Inquiry (NOI) in ET

Docket No. 94–32, seeking information

on potential applications of 50

megahertz of transferred Federal

Government spectrum. On November 8,

1994, a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking

(NPRM) was released proposing the

allocation of the spectrum, and a First

Report and Order and Second Notice of

Proposed Rulemaking was released on

February 17, 1995. The Second NPRM

proposed that the 4660–4685 MHz band

be allocated for a GWCS.

In-Flight argues that is PP Request

should be considered in ET Docket No.

94–32 because the proposed service

rules would allow it to apply for a

license to provide its service in the

4660–4685 MHz band. In-Flight claims

that the service for which the preference

is sought is identical in all relevant

respects to the service it would provide

as a GWCS licensee. Finally, In-Flight

requests that the Commission issued the

requested ruling well in advance of the

August 10, 1995 statutory deadline for

issuing final rules in ET Docket No. 94–

32, so that the Commission will have

sufficient time to decide whether to

award a pioneer’s preference to InFlight.

We herein request comment on InFlight’s Petition for Declaratory Ruling.

Comments are due May 19, 1995, and

reply comments are due May 31, 1995.

We note that In-Flight’s PP Request has

been formally opposed. Accordingly,

the PP Request constitutes a restricted

Commission proceeding in which ex

parte presentations are prohibited: see

47 CFR 1.1208(c).
