 ADICORP  MOTION  TO  DISMISS  WITHOUT  PREJUDICE 
 On  November  1,  2004,  Alert  Devices  International  Corporation  (“  ADiCorp”)  filed  a  “Motion  to  Dismiss  Without  Prejudice”  its  Petition  for  Rulemaking  In  the  Matter  of:  Amendment  of  Parts  2 
 and  90  of  the  Commission’s  Rules  to  Provide  for  an  Emergency  Vehicle  Signaling  Service.  The  Petition  for  Rulemaking  sought  Commission  authorization  of  the  Emergency  Vehicle  Signaling 
 Service  (“  EVSS”)  in  the  United  States.  EVSS  is  a  system  designed  to  alert  motorists  via  their  AM  and  FM  car  radios  of  an  oncoming  public  safety  vehicle  engaged  in  a  nearby  emergency 
 response  situation. 
 On  March  31,  2004,  ADiCorp  filed  a  motion  to  suspend  the  proceeding  in  order  to  allow  for  time  to  perform  tests  of  the  proposed  system  due  to  concerns  expressed  by  the  broadcast  industry.  On 
 April  19,  2004,  AdiCorp  supplemented  its  motion  and  stated  that  it  would  submit  test  results  to  the  Commission  regarding  EVSS  no  later  than  November  1,  2004.  On  April  22,  2004,  the  Media 
 Bureau  granted  ADiCorp’s  motion  to  suspend  the  proceeding  until  November  1,  2004. 
 In  its  Motion  to  Dismiss  Without  Prejudice,  ADiCorp  states  that  it  has  decided  that  there  is  a  need  to  redesign  the  EVSS  unit  and,  together  with  the  need  to  manufacture  and  verify  operation 
 of  the  new  model,  the  scheduling  of  testing  has  been  set  back.  In  addition,  AdiCorp  states  that  a  delay  is  further  caused  by  the  need  to  conduct  all  testing  in  Canada  where  it  asserts  that  EVSS 
 has  been  approved,  but  where  suitable  testing  facilities  are  limited.  At  this  time,  AdiCorp  states  that  it  is  unable  to  specify  a  date  when  it  can  make  its  test  data  available.  ADiCorp  states  that  it 
 plans  to  re-  file  its  petition  with  supporting  data  when  testing  of  its  new  design  is  complete.  In  the  interests  of  administrative  efficiency,  ADiCorp  requests  dismissal  of  its  original  petition 
 without  prejudice. 
 In  light  of  the  above,  ADiCorp’s  Motion  to  Dismiss  Without  Prejudice  IS  GRANTED.
