                   MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER


Adopted:  July 19, 1999                 Released: July 20, 1999


     By the Commission:

1.   The Commission has before it an application for review filed August 12, 1998 by Evan Doss, Jr.
Corporation ("Doss").  Doss requests review of a July 13, 1998 ruling by the Chief, Audio Services Division,
Mass Media Bureau ("staff decision") denying Doss' petition for reconsideration of the May 7, 1998 action
granting the captioned application to assign the construction permit of Station WKPG(AM), Port Gibson,
Mississippi, from Eileen S. Bailey, Trustee in Bankruptcy for Evan Doss, Jr. Corporation ("Bailey") to
Claiborne County Community Activity Club, Inc. (File No. BAL-980325GK) ("Claiborne").  The Commission
has reviewed the allegations raised by Doss in its informal objection and subsequent pleadings and nothing
therein leads us to believe the assignment is contrary to the public interest.

2.  With respect to Doss' allegation that the assignment involves a "bare license," we note that the staff sought
additional information in an inquiry letter to Bailey and Claiborne on November 20, 1998.  Claiborne's
November 30, 1998 response makes clear that Claiborne acquired tangible assets necessary to operate
WKPG(AM) in late 1997 from a third party, prior to its acquisition of the authorization.  Pursuant to
established precedent, acquisition of such assets from a third party, as here, is consistent with Commission
policy, and there was no "bare license" assignment.  American Music Radio, 10 FCC Rcd 8769, 8772-72
(1995); Arecibo Radio Corp., 101 FCC 2d 545, 550 n. 12 (1985); Public Service Enterprises, Inc., 69 FCC
2d 967, 972-73 (1978).  We therefore affirm the staff decision.

3.  Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, that the application for review filed August 12, 1998 by Evan Doss, Jr.
Corporation IS DENIED.
