                    ORDER ON RECONSIDERATION


   Adopted:  November 30, 1999          Released:  November 30, 1999

By the Chief, Policy and Rules Branch, Commercial Wireless Division, Wireless Telecommunications
Bureau:

     1.   We have before us a Petition for Reconsideration (Petition) filed October 28, 1998, and a
Request for Relief filed January 20, 1999, by Daniel R. Goodman, the court-appointed receiver (Receiver)
for four license application preparation companies, Metropolitan Communications Corp., Nationwide
Digital Data Corp., Columbia Communications Services Corp., and Stephens Sinclair Ltd.  The Receiver,
under authority granted to him by Harold Worch and Edward Warstler, requests that we reconsider the
cancellation of the Specialized Mobile Radio licenses for stations WPET434 and WPER490, licensed to
Mr. Worch and Mr. Warstler, respectively, and grant the licensees additional time to construct.  For the
reasons set forth below, we grant the Request for Relief and dismiss the Petition as moot.

     2.   The Receiver argues in the Petition that the licenses in question were granted a four-month
construction period extension pursuant to the Goodman/Chan Order, but were incorrectly cancelled by the
Licensing and Technical Analysis Branch of the Commercial Wireless Division, Wireless
Telecommunications Bureau (Bureau) before the construction period began to run.  Specifically, the
Receiver asserts that the Licensing and Technical Analysis Branch improperly cancelled the licenses for the
licensees' failure to register their Taxpayer Identification Numbers with the Commission.   Because the
licenses subsequently were reinstated by the Bureau, but after the additional four-month construction
period afforded by the Goodman/Chan Order expired, the Receiver asks in the Request for Relief that each
licensee receive a new four-month period to complete construction.   The Receiver also asks that the
licensees be granted a new 90-day period in which to seek Commission approval to assign their
unconstructed licenses to third parties, pursuant to the Goodman/Chan Reconsideration Order.

     3.   Because the above-captioned licenses were reinstated and mailed to the respective 
licensees on January 5, 1999, we dismiss the Receiver's Petition as moot.  Additionally, because the
licensees were unable to take advantage of the relief granted them pursuant to the Goodman/Chan Order,
we grant the Request for Relief.  Accordingly, we grant the licensees each an additional four-month period
to construct their respective licenses, including a 90-day period during which they may file applications to
assign their unconstructed licenses, pursuant to the Goodman/Chan Reconsideration Order.

     4.   Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to sections 4(i) and 405 of the
Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C.  154(i), 405 and sections 0.331 and 1.106 of the
Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R.  0.331, 1.106, the Petition for Reconsideration filed by Daniel R.
Goodman on October 28, 1998, IS DISMISSED AS MOOT.

     5.   IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that, pursuant to section 4(i) of the Communications Act of
1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C.  154(i), and section 0.331 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R.  0.331, the
Request for Relief filed by Daniel R. Goodman on January 20, 1999, IS HEREBY GRANTED.

     6.   IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that, pursuant to section 0.331 of the Commission's rules,
47 C.F.R.  0.331, the additional four-month construction period granted herein, which includes a 90-day
period during which applications to assign the unconstructed licenses may be filed, is to begin upon release
of this Order on Reconsideration.
