                  MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER


   Adopted: October 7, 1999             Released: October 14, 1999 
                                 
By the Commission:

     1.  The Commission has before it a June 3, 1999, Application for Review filed by Joseph D. Jones
("Jones") and related responsive pleadings.  Jones seeks review of a May 6, 1999, letter ruling by the Chief,
Audio Services Division, Mass Media Bureau which denied his Petition for Reconsideration.  Jones argues
that the staff erred in affirming the grant of the above-captioned license renewal applications for stations
KOLA(FM), San Bernardino, California and KCAL-FM, Redlands, California, and in dismissing his request
to build new stations in their stead.

     2.  Jones had alleged various violations at the stations such as that he was denied access to the stations'
public inspection files, and that a white employee with a Spanish surname allegedly was incorrectly identified
to the Commission as Hispanic in Equal Employment Opportunity reports.  The staff found Jones's submissions
were inadequate to warrant nonrenewal of either station under 47 U.S.C.  309(k).  The staff also noted that
Jones incorrectly filed applications on FCC Form 302 (Application for FM Broadcast Station License) because
such applications can only be filed by applicants who already have been granted a construction permit, and 47
U.S.C.  309(k)(4) prohibits consideration of applications competing with license renewals.  The fees
associated with the erroneous applications were returned to Jones on April 17, 1998. 
     
     3.  We find that Jones's arguments were thoroughly considered and properly resolved by the staff, and
we uphold the staff decision for the reasons stated therein.  There is no reason to disturb it.  See WAMC, Inc.,
10 FCC Rcd 12219 (1995) (denying application for review raising essentially the same arguments as in petition
for reconsideration).      4.  Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that the Application for Review filed by Joseph D. Jones, IS
HEREBY DENIED.  This action is taken pursuant to authority granted by Section 5(c)(5) of the
Communications Act, 47 U.S.C.  155(c)(5), and Section 1.115(g) of the Commission's Rules, 47 C.F.R. 
1.115(g).
