LICENSE AUDIT LETTER

Date

Licensee Inc

445 12^th Street SW

Washington, DC 20554

Reference Number: 462011

FRN: 1234567

WARNING: This letter requires a timely response from you to avoid the possible cancellation of your license(s) and the imposition of administrative sanctions, including monetary forfeiture. You must respond to this letter within thirty (30) calendar days from the above date.

Dear Licensee:

The Wireless Telecommunications Bureau of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is conducting an audit of the operational status of licenses authorized in the 220 – 222 MHz band in the following radio services: QT – non-nationwide 5-channel trunked systems, QD – non-nationwide data, and QO – non-nationwide other. Under Section 90.157 of the Commission’s Rules, if a licensee allows a constructed facility to discontinue operations for one year or more, the license cancels automatically.¹ Our records indicate that you hold authorizations in one or more of these services. We hereby direct you to respond to this audit letter as described below and certify whether or not your authorized station(s) has discontinued operations for one year or more.

To comply with this audit request, you must file your response electronically using the Bureau’s internet site at http://wireless.fcc.gov/licensing/audits/220. Electronic filing requires an FCC Registration Number (FRN). If you do not have an FRN, you must register with the Commission Registration System (CORES). Instructions for registering in CORES are included in the “Note” section below.

At the internet site above, you will be asked to enter your FRN, audit reference number, and certifier information. Then, as explained below, you will be provided with a list of your call signs that are included in this audit. For your convenience we are providing a copy of audit call sign list with this letter. If some of your QT, QD, and/or QO authorizations are not listed with this

letter, you may receive another letter(s) with those call signs shortly. If you do not receive an audit letter(s) accounting for all licenses you hold in these radio services, you may still be

required to respond to the audit. Use Audit Search at http://wireless.fcc.gov/licensing/audits/220 to determine if a particular license is part of this audit. If the Audit Search shows an audit letter was mailed, you are required to respond to the audit even though the letter wasn’t received. For instructions on how to proceed when an audit letter was not received for a particular call sign, call the Commission as provided under the “Additional Information” section below.

By completing the certification, you are representing to the Commission that all responses are true, correct, and made in good faith, and that you are duly authorized to sign for the licensee in these matters. A response can be made for all stations under a call sign, a specific location, or a discrete frequency. Your response options are limited to “operational” or “cancel.” You can confirm that all stations licensed under a call sign have (1) not permanently discontinued operations for a period of one year or more and are, therefore, operational or (2) discontinued operations for a period of one year or more and, therefore, the license has cancelled automatically. The options for responding to a specific location or a discrete frequency are the same as the options for a call sign. The location or frequency is either (1) operational as defined above or (2) it is not operational as defined above and has cancelled automatically and is deleted from the license.

The Commission may assume by your failure to timely respond to this audit letter that your license(s) has not been operational for one year or more. As a consequence, your license(s) may be considered to have cancelled automatically. In addition to the cancellation of your license(s), your failure to timely respond to this audit letter may lead to the imposition of administrative sanctions, such as a monetary forfeiture, pursuant to Section 503(b)(1)(B) of the Communications Act and Section 1.80(a)(2) of the Commission’s Rules.²

NOTE - Registering in CORES. As of December 1, 2001, all parties and entities doing business with the Commission must obtain a unique identifying number called the FCC Registration Number (FRN) and supply it when doing business with the Commission.

Provide all the information requested by CORES and print the page containing your 10-digit FRN for future reference.
