ORDER
Adopted:  January 3, 2008 Released:  January 3, 2008
By the Deputy Chief, Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau:
1. On February 5, 2007, Alltel Corporation (Alltel) filed a Petition1 seeking reconsideration 
of a Commission Order in the above-captioned proceeding.2 That Order denied Alltel’s request for an 
extension of time to comply with the requirement in Section 20.18(g)(1)(v) of the Commission’s rules 
that carriers employing a handset-based E911 Phase II location technology were to have achieved 95% 
penetration among their subscribers of location-capable handsets by December 31, 2005.3  The order also 
referred to the Commission’s Enforcement Bureau Alltel’s admitted violation of Section 20.18(g)(1)(v).4
On August 30, 2007, the Commission issued a Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture, in which it 
proposed a $1 million forfeiture for Alltel’s failure to comply with the Commissions 95% penetration 
requirement for location capable handsets.5
2. On October 12, 2007, Alltel filed a motion to withdraw its Petition, indicating that it 
transmitted payment of the proposed fine to the Commission on October 1, 2007, and that the 
Commission confirmed receipt.6  Alltel’s motion submits that payment of the forfeiture effectively moots 
its Petition.  By this Order, we grant Alltel’s motion.
3. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that the Motion to Withdraw Petition for Reconsideration 
filed by Alltel Corporation IS GRANTED.
