Adopted:  March 10, 2005                    Released:  March 
11, 2005  

By the Chief, Enforcement Bureau:

      1.  The Enforcement Bureau (the ``Bureau'') has been 
 investigating whether Communications Counsel Group, Inc. 
 (``CCG''), licensee of Station WQII(AM), San Juan, Puerto 
 Rico, has violated section 310(d) of the Communications 
 Act of 1934, as amended,1 and sections 73.1015, 73.3526, 
 73.3540, and 73.3615 of the Commission's rules,2 in 
 connection with its operation of the station and responses 
 to letters of inquiry sent by the Bureau.    

      2.  The Bureau and CCG have negotiated the terms of 
 the Consent Decree, a copy of which is attached hereto and 
 incorporated by reference.

      3.  After reviewing the terms of the Consent Decree 
 and evaluating the facts before us, we find that the 
 public interest would be served by approving the Consent 
 Decree and terminating the investigation.  In the absence 
 of material new evidence relating to this matter, we 
 conclude that our investigation raises no substantial or 
 material questions of fact as to whether CCG possesses the 
 basic qualifications, including character qualifications, 
 to be or remain a Commission licensee.

      4.  ACCORDINGLY, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to 
 section 4(i) of the Communications Act of 1934, as 
 amended,3 and the authority delegated by sections 0.111 
 and 0.311 of the Commission's rules,4 the attached Consent 
 Decree IS ADOPTED.

      5.  IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the complaints against 
 CCG dated October 3, 2002 and February 3, 2003,5 ARE 
 DISMISSED.

      6.  IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the investigation by 
 the Enforcement Bureau IS TERMINATED.

      7.  IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that copies of this Order 
 shall be sent by regular first class mail and certified 
 mail - return receipt requested, to Communications Counsel 
 Group, Inc., P.O. Box 193779, San Juan, Puerto Rico 00919, 
 and to its counsel, Howard A. Topel, Esq. Leventhal Senter

 Washington, D.C. 20006.
