On February 21, 2005, the Society of Broadcast Engineers, Inc. (SBE) filed a Request for Clarification in reference to the Wireless Bureau’s Declaratory Ruling regarding automatic terminations of wireless radio service authorizations in the Universal Licensing System. The Request specifically concerned how ULS’ automatic termination feature would affect certain Part 74 Broadcast Auxiliary Services (BAS). On July 12, 2005, SBE filed a letter withdrawing the Request. The Letter recites SBE’s understanding of certain matters informally discussed with staff of the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau, seeks confirmation of these points, and states that SBE’s withdrawal is made “[i]n view of, and because of the foregoing.” We disagree with, and thus cannot confirm, all of the statements in the Letter. Instead, this correspondence clarifies the matters raised in the Letter. We believe these clarifications address the matters that SBE raised in the Request and the Letter and are consistent with our prior informal discussions with SBE. Accordingly, we deem the Request withdrawn.
