Final Notice of Intent To Terminate Authorization of JuBe, Communications, LLC
In this document, the International Bureau affords JuBe Communications, LLC (JuBe) final notice and opportunity to respond to the December 23, 2015 letter submitted by the Depar...
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
In the Executive Branch Dec. 23, 2015 Letter, the Executive Branch agencies state that they have reason to believe that JuBe may be dissolved and no longer providing service. As a result, the Executive Branch agencies indicate that JuBe is unable to comply with the commitments and undertakings contained in the July 12, 2007 Letter that JuBe entered into with the Executive Branch agencies to address national security and law enforcement concerns. Compliance with these commitments is a condition to the international Section 214 authorization the Commission issued to JuBe on July 27, 2007, and by this notice the Bureau provides final notice to JuBe that it intends to take action to declare JuBe's international 214 authorization terminated for failure to comply with conditions of its authorization, and further advises that it may refer the matter for enforcement action for non-compliance with the applicable regulatory provisions. On January 19, 2016, the Bureau's Telecommunications and Analysis Division sent a letter to JuBe at the last known addresses on record via certified, return receipt mail, asking JuBe to respond to the Executive Branch agencies' allegations by February 18, 2016. The January 19, 2016 letter stated that failure to respond would result in the issuance of an order to terminate JuBe's international Section 214 authorization. JuBe did not respond to the request.
In addition, the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the Act) and the Commission's rules require authorization holders to comply with certain requirements that enable the Commission to contact and communicate with the authorization holder and verify whether the authorization holder is still providing service. JuBe appears to have failed to comply with those requirements. For example, every carrier must designate an agent for service and keep that information current.
See47 U.S.C. 413; 47 CFR 1.47(h), 64.1195.
See also47 CFR 63.19, 63.21(a), and 63.21(d).
JuBe's failure to respond to this Public Notice will be deemed as an admission of the facts alleged by the Executive Branch agencies and of the violation of the statutory and rule provisions set out above. The Bureau hereby provides final notice to JuBe that it intends to take action to declare JuBe's international 214 authorization terminated for failure to comply with conditions of its authorization, and further advises that it may refer the matter for enforcement action for non-compliance with the applicable regulatory provisions. JuBe must respond to this Public Notice no later than 15 days after publication in the
Federal Register
.
The proceeding in this Notice shall be treated as a “permit-but-disclose” proceeding in accordance with the Commission's
ex parte
rules.
