                  MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER


     Adopted:  June 6, 2001                  Released:  June 11, 
2002


By the Commission:

1.   In this Memorandum Opinion and  Order, we deny a  ``Petition 
for Special  Relief,  or  in  the  Alternative,  Application  for 
Review'' filed  by the  Office of  Communications of  the  United 
Church of  Christ,  Inc. (``UCC'')  on  February 15,  2002.   UCC 
challenges an Order  issued on  January 16, 2002,  by the  Chief, 
Enforcement Bureau,1 which adopted  a Consent Decree between  the 
Enforcement Bureau and  Enron Corp.  (``Enron''), and  terminated 
the Enforcement Bureau's investigation of Enron's compliance with 
Section 310(d) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the 
``Act''), with respect to certain private radio licenses.2  Enron 
had voluntarily  brought the  matter  to the  Commission  staff's 
attention.  Under  the Consent  Decree, Enron  agreed to  make  a 
voluntary  contribution  to   the  United   States  Treasury   of 
$7,500.00, and to implement several affirmative remedial measures 
to ensure future compliance.

2.   We deny UCC's  petition.  The  decision to  adopt a  consent 
decree in these  circumstances was a  reasonable and  appropriate 
use of the Commission's enforcement and prosecutorial discretion.  
We note in this regard that the Bureau resolved numerous  similar 
situations   through   similar   consent   decrees   or   through 
admonishments.3

                         ORDERING CLAUSE

3.   Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to Sections 4(i), 4(j), 
5(c)(4), and  503(b)  of  the  Communications  Act  of  1934,  as 
amended, 47 U.S.C. §§ 154(i),  154(j), 155(c)(4) and 503(b),  and 
Sections 1.41,  1.43  and 1.115  of  the Commission's  Rules,  47 
C.F.R. §§  1.41, 1.43,  1.115, that  the ``Petition  for  Special 
Relief, or in the Alternative, Application for Review'' filed  by 
the Office of Communications of the United Church of Christ, Inc. 
on February  15, 2002,  IS  DENIED, and  that the  ``Request  for 
Stay'' filed by the Office of Communications of the United Church 
of Christ, Inc. on February 15, 2002, IS DISMISSED AS MOOT.
