The Honorable Thomas Wheeler Chairman Federal Communications Commission 445 12th Street, SW Washington, DC 20554 Dear Chairman Wheeler, We are writing to you today to raise an issue of high importance to a company in Homer, Alaska, Peninsula Communications, Inc. (PCI). PCI is a small family business, which has been owned and operated by David and Eileen Becker since 1978. It has come to our attention that PCI has a number of pending applications in front of the FCC; in fact, these applications have been pending for several years now. Since 2003 , the FCC has taken no action to approve or deny any of these applications, leaving PCI in a state of complete uncertainty and ultimately impacting the Becker' s ability to retire. We find it completely unacceptable for 13 years to pass and PCI still see no action on any of their license renewal applications. There are a total of 19 outstanding pending applications that have received no FCC attention or processing decisions whatsoever other than notices of "Accepted for Filing." i PCI cannot and should not be required to wait any longer for the FCC to act. As a result, we request that within 30 days of the date of this letter, you provide us a date certain on when your agency plans to act on these pending applications. Sincerely, °'-.; ~----------'---Lisa Murkowski Dan Sullivan United States Senator United States Senator cc: Commissioner Ajit Pai CoJ.llmissioner Mignon Clyburn PRINTED ON RECYCLED PAPER 490 Commissioner Michael O'Reilly Commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel Chairman John Thune Ranking Member Bill Nelson i Pending PCI app~cations: 1) License renewal applications for Peninsula Stations: a) KWVV-FM, Homer, Alaska, BRH 20050919AES; BRH 20130830AMK b) KPEN-FM, Soldotna, Alaska, BRH 20050919AEM; BRH 20130830AMR c) KXBA (FM), Nikiski, Alaska, BRH 20050919ACU; BRH 20130830AMJ d) KGTL (AM), Horner, Alaska BRH-20050919AEZ; BRH 20130830AMW 2) Pending applications for two new AM broadcast stations at Kenai, Alaska: ---- a) BNP 2004D1 21.AKK;_BNE-2Dll5Dl 13AB.L;BNP 20_050J 13ABL b) BNP 20040127AKI; BNP 20070917AAB 3.)
