                             ORDER


   Adopted:  December 6, 1999           Released:  December 6, 1999

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

     1.   By this Order, we grant the Request for Relief filed by Frank Wancho (Wancho), Executor
of the Estate of Carl Wancho (Estate), on March 23, 1999.  Wancho requests that because of the Commission's
delay in processing the involuntary assignment application of the above-captioned Specialized Mobile Radio
license to the estate of his deceased father (Application), we grant the Estate an additional four months to
construct the license.

     2.   The affected license was granted relief pursuant to the Goodman/Chan Order.  As a result,
the licensee was required to complete construction and commence operation by December 28, 1998. Wancho
was appointed executor of the Estate on January 13, 1998 and, on September 2, 1998, an Application for
involuntary assignment of the license to the Estate was filed with the Commission.  The Application was
granted and a new license was issued in the Estate's name on December 8, 1998.  Wancho now argues that
because the license could not be constructed while the Application was pending, the licensee should be granted
an additional four months to complete construction, including a 90 day period in which to assign or transfer
its unconstructed license to a third party.

     3.   We agree.  Because of the unique circumstances involved in this case, the licensee was unable
to take advantage of the relief granted it pursuant to the Goodman/Chan Order.  Accordingly, the Estate shall
have four months to construct and commence operation of the license facility.  This four-month period shall
commence as of the release date of this Order.  In addition, the licensee shall have a 90-day waiver of section
90.609(b) of the Commission's rules to assign or transfer its unconstructed license.  This 90-day period also
shall commence as of the release date of this Order.

     4.   Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to section 4(i) of the Communications Act, 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 Frank Wancho, Executor of the Estate of Carl Wancho, on March 23, 1999 IS HEREBY
GRANTED.
