Summary of the Order: In the Order
to Show Cause the Commission
commences a hearing proceeding before
an administrative law judge to
determine whether Commercial Radio
Service, Inc. (‘‘CRS’’) and Timothy M.
Doty (‘‘Doty’’) are qualified to be and
remain Commission licensees and, if
not, whether their respective
authorizations should be revoked. The
Order to Show Cause also inquires
whether a monetary forfeiture should be
assessed against CRS.
CRS is the licensee of one commercial
and four private land mobile stations.
Doty, a principal in CRS, holds, in his
individual capacity, a General
Radiotelephone Operator License and
an Amateur Radio License. Doty has
twice been convicted of felonies in State
and Federal courts. Subsequent to the
first of Doty’s felony convictions, CRS
filed at least two license applications
with the Commission in which CRS
answered ‘‘No’’ to the question
inquiring whether the applicant or any
party directly or indirectly controlling
the applicant had ever been convicted of
a felony in State or Federal court.
Subsequent to the second of Doty’s
felony convictions, CRS filed at least
five license renewal-only applications
with the Commission. By filing renewalonly applications rather than renewal/
modification applications, CRS failed to
provide information to the Commission
about Doty’s felony convictions that it
was otherwise required to disclose. In
each of the applications discussed
above, CRS certified that all of the
statements therein were true, complete,
correct, and made in good faith.
The Commission determined that
Doty’s felony convictions and CRS’’
apparent failures to inform the

Commission about such felonies in
license applications filed with the
Commission raise substantial and
material questions as to their
qualifications to be and to remain
Commission licensees. Thus, pursuant
to sections 312 of the Communications
Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. 312,
and § 1.91 of the Commission’s rules, 47
CFR 1.91, the Order to Show Cause
directs CRS and Doty to show cause
why their respective licenses should not
be revoked, upon the following issues:
1. To determine the effect of Mr.
Doty’s felony convictions on his
qualifications to be and to remain a
Commission licensee;
2. To determine the effect of Mr.
Doty’s felony convictions on the
qualifications of CRS to be and to
remain a Commission licensee;
3. To determine whether CRS made
misrepresentations and/or lacked
candor and/or violated Section 1.17 of
the Commission’s rules regarding the
felony convictions of Mr. Doty in any
applications filed with the Commission;
4. To determine whether CRS failed to
timely amend Commission applications
to disclose Mr. Doty’s felony
convictions, in violation of Section 1.65
of the Commission’s rules;
5. To determine whether CRS made
false certifications in any applications
filed with the Commission;
6. To determine, in light of the
evidence adduced pursuant to the
foregoing issues, whether Mr. Doty is
qualified to be and to remain a
Commission licensee;
7. To determine, in light of the
evidence adduced pursuant to the
foregoing issues, whether CRS is
qualified to be and to remain a
Commission licensee;
8. To determine, in light of the
evidence adduced pursuant to the
foregoing issues, whether the abovecaptioned licenses of Mr. Doty should
be revoked;
9. To determine, in light of the
evidence adduced pursuant to the
foregoing issues (1) through (7), whether
the above-captioned licenses of CRS
should be revoked.
The Order to Show Cause also directs
that, irrespective of the resolution of the
foregoing issues, it shall be determined,
pursuant to section 503 of the
Communications Act of 1934, as
amended, 47 U.S.C 503, whether an
Order of Forfeiture in the amount not to
exceed $11,000 for each violation or
each day of a continuing violation, up
to a total of $97,500 for any single act
or failure to act should be issued against
CRS for having failed to disclose Doty’s
felony convictions in one or more of its
applications, in willful and/or repeated
