Dear Mr. Smith:
This letter is in response to your February 6, 2007 letter requesting that we cancel certain General
Mobile Radio Service (GMRS) licenses.  Specifically, you request that we review the grants of 277 
licenses because the licensing record contains the name of an organization or company in the “attention” 
field following the licensee’s name, which you believe indicates that these licenses may have been issued 
to entities not eligible for licensing in the GMRS.  For the reasons discussed herein, we deny the request. 
As you note, Section 95.5(a) of the Commission’s Rules provides that only an individual is 
eligible to obtain a new GMRS system license.1 That an individual lists his or her business name in the 
“attention” field and business address as the contact information on a GMRS application does not 
indicate, however, that the license was issued to an entity that is not eligible for licensing in the GMRS.  
The Commission’s Rules require that an applicant furnish a mailing address for Commission 
correspondence to the licensee,2 but do not require an individual applicant to furnish his or her home
address.  Some licensees, for purposes of convenience or privacy, may prefer to use their business
address.  The fact that an individual’s GMRS license lists a business address as the contact information, 
does not present sufficient evidence, standing alone, to suggest that the license was improperly granted or 
that the station is operating in violation of the Commission’s Rules.  Consequently, we conclude that you
have not demonstrated sufficient reason for us to review the licenses listed in your letter.
ACCORDINGLY, IT IS ORDERED that pursuant to Section 4(i) of the Communications Act of 
1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. § 154(i), and Section 1.41 of the Commission’s Rules, 47 C.F.R. § 1.41, the 
request filed by the Personal Radio Association, Inc. on February 12, 2007 IS DENIED.  This action is 
taken under delegated authority pursuant to Sections 0.131 and 0.331 of the Commission’s Rules, 47 
C.F.R. §§ 0.131, 0.331.
