In this Order, we grant the request of FTP Corporation (“ FTP”), licensee of Radio Station KNTB- AM in Lakewood, Washington to withdraw its petition for reconsideration and dismiss the petition accordingly. 2. On April 30, 2003, the Commission’s Seattle, Washington Field Office released a Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture (“ NAL”) against FTP. 1 The NAL proposed the forfeiture amount of four thousand dollars against FTP for its apparent repeated violation of Section 73.1745 of the Commission’s Rules (“ Rules”) 2 by failing to operate the station in accordance with the authorized power and hours of operation. On May 13, 2003, FTP filed a response to cancel the NAL and the forfeiture amount. On August 12, 2004, the Commission’s Enforcement Bureau issued a Forfeiture Order upholding the NAL and reducing the forfeiture amount to three thousand two hundred dollars. 3 On August 18, 2004, FTP made a partial payment of one thousand two hundred dollars. On September 7, 2004, FTP filed a petition for reconsideration of the Forfeiture Order. On September 6, 2005, FTP filed a request to withdraw the petition for reconsideration. FTP did not dispute the violation and enclosed a copy of a check for two thousand dollars completing full payment of the assessed forfeiture. 3. We are satisfied that granting this request to dismiss the petition for reconsideration will serve the public interest by promoting the private resolution of this dispute and by eliminating the need for further litigation and the expenditure of further time and resources of FTP and of this Commission. Therefore, we grant FTP’s request and dismiss its petition for reconsideration with prejudice. 4.
