Federal Communications Commission Washington, D.C. 20554 October 5, 2012 DA 12-1599 Mr. Daniel Healy Boyd Gaming Corporation 6465 South Rainbow Blvd Las Vegas, NV 89118 Re: Application FCC File No. 0005098263 to Modify License for Station WPUX466 Dear Mr. Healy: This letter addresses the petition1 that you filed on April 20, 2012 on behalf of Boyd Gaming Corporation (Boyd) seeking reconsideration of the dismissal of the above-referenced application. For the reasons stated below, we deny the petition. On March 1, 2012, Boyd filed an application to modify its license for private land mobile radio (PLMR) Station WPUX466 by relocating the center coordinates of the mobile operating area and increasing the service radius from three kilometers to thirty-two kilometers, and adding a narrowband emission designator to the existing wideband emission designator. Section 90.209(b)(6)(ii) of the Commission’s Rules provides that, beginning January 1, 2011, no modification application that increases a wideband PLMR station’s interference contour will be acceptable for filing.2 Because the application proposed to increase Boyd’s wideband interference contour, it was dismissed on April 17, 2012.3 In the petition for reconsideration, you state that Boyd’s frequency coordinator should have deleted the wideband emission designator rather than simply adding a narrowband emission designator. You ask that we delete the wideband emission designator from the application and reprocess it accordingly. We conclude that your application was properly dismissed. Because of the large number of applications reviewed by the Commission, an applicant must be responsible for the accuracy and adequacy of any submission of any submission made on its behalf.4 The applicant, whether acting directly or through an agent, is responsible for ensuring that its application is complete.5 Consequently, we deny the petition for reconsideration. This action is without prejudice to Boyd filing a new application to modify its license for Station WPUX466 by relocating the center coordinates of the mobile operating 1 Petition for Reconsideration (filed April 20, 2012). 2 See 47 C.F.R. § 90.209(b)(6)(ii). 3 Notice of Dismissal, Ref.
