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 VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:40 Sep 19, 2006 Jkt 205001 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 PO 00000 Frm 00015 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 violation of §§ 1.17 and 1.65 of the Commission’s rules, 47 CFR 1.17 and 1.65. The hearing will be held at a time and place to be specified in a subsequent order. Copies of the Order to Show Cause are being sent by Certified Mail, Return Receipt Requested, to CRS, Doty, and counsel for CRS. To avail themselves of the opportunity to be heard and the right to present evidence in the hearing in this proceeding, pursuant to section 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, an officer representative of CRS and Timothy M. Doty, in person or by their respective attorneys, must file with the Commission, not later than September 29, 2006, a written appearance in triplicate stating that they will appear on the date fixed for hearing and present evidence on the issues specified herein.
