     Pursuant to Section 310(d) of the Communications Act, 47 U.S.C.  310(d), and Section 0.331 of

     We approve these assignments because we find they are in the public interest, convenience, and
necessity.  See 47 U.S.C.  310(d).  By this approval, the parties are authorized to proceed to the final
stages of their respective transactions.  Section 1.948(d) of the Commission's rules provides that "the
Commission shall be notified by letter of the date of completion of the assignment or transfer of control."
See 47 C.F.R. 1.948(d).  Hence, we remind parties that an assignment shall not be considered complete
until the underlying transaction closes and all conditions set forth in the grant documents, including this
Public Notice and the application, are met.  In addition, the approval of each assignment is also conditioned
upon the execution of all Commission loan documents by the assignor, assignee and the Commission,
unless the license being assigned has been paid in full.  Furthermore, unless the license being assigned has
been paid in full, the approval is conditioned upon the assignee's execution of the applicable financing
statements (i.e. the UCC-1 Forms) and payment of all costs associated with the preparation and recordation
of the financing statements, on or before the consummation date.  Where applicable, the Bureau will send
all assignors listed herein the appropriate loan documents and financing 
statements following the release of this Public Notice.   Additionally, all installment payments must be
current on the consummation date.  Upon receipt of the letter required by Section 1.948(d) of the
Commission's rules, and satisfaction of all requisite conditions, including execution of the appropriate
documents, the Bureau will consider the assignment "complete" and will issue the license to the assignee
with the date of the license grant identical to the date upon which the transaction closed, thus completing
the assignment.

     Failure of the parties to comply with Section 1.948(d) of the Commission's rules, or any specific
condition described above, will result in automatic cancellation of the Commission's assignment approval,
and dismissal of the underlying assignment application(s).  

     For further information, please contact Rita Cookmeyer (202) 418-0660.

     This Public Notice is issued by the Chief, Wireless Telecommunications Bureau.
