FCC Denies Hearing in 220 MHz Case

The full FCC let stand an order from the Wireless Bureau denying a license renewal hearing sought by Lawrence Behr about a 220 MHz license for Denver he won in an FCC lottery in 1993. Behr had filed an application for review in June 2009. The commission order examines the lengthy history of the case. “In sum, because Behr did not meet the respective deadlines for filing a petition for reconsideration or an application for review of the Waiver Denial Letter (both December 12, 2003) -- and because this case presents no circumstances, extraordinary or otherwise, that call into question the propriety of giving force to these deadlines -- we deny Behr’s request in the present Application ... and, accordingly, we let that letter order stand,” the FCC said.
