PETITION FILED SEEKING DECLARATORY RULING THAT CERTAIN
REGULATIONS OF A HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION ARE PREEMPTED BY THE
COMMISSION'S OVER-THE-AIR RECEPTION DEVICES RULE

     The Commission has received a Petition for Declaratory Ruling from Wireless Broadcasting
Systems of Sacramento, California asking the Commission to determine whether the Morrison Creek
Homeowners Association's (MCHOA) rules and regulations restricting installation and placement
of television antennas and satellite dishes are preempted by Section 1.4000 of the Commission's

(satellite dishes and antennas).
