I. INTRODUCTION
1. By this Order Proposing Modification, we initiate a proceeding to modify the license of Fred 
Vetter (Vetter) for Private Land Mobile Radio (PLMR) Station WPVZ929 to change the station’s 
frequencies as detailed below.  We take this action in furtherance of ensuring compliance with 
Commission rules. 
II. BACKGROUND
2. Vetter is the licensee of PLMR Station WPVZ929 in Bowling Green, Ohio, which is 
authorized to operate on the frequency pair 810.6125/855.6125 MHz.  Under the provisions of the 
Commission’s 800 MHz rebanding proceeding, Vetter must retune Station WPVZ929 from frequency 
pair 810.6125/855.6125 MHz to frequency pair 816.5125/861.5125 MHz at Sprint’s expense.1  
Pursuant to the terms of Commission’s 800 MHz Second Report and Order,2 and the Implementation

Plan established by the 800 MHz Transition Administrator,3 Vetter was required to submit a cost 
estimate for this retuning by January 12, 2009. 
3. In the 800 MHz Report and Order, the Commission charged all parties with a duty to act 
in good faith and warned parties that failure to act in good faith could result in license modification 
and involuntary relocation.4 Despite repeated urging on the part of the 800 MHz Transition 
Administrator, to date Vetter has failed to provide either the requisite cost estimate to Sprint Nextel 
or to request additional time to complete planning from the Public Safety and Homeland Security 
Bureau.5  
III. DISCUSSION
4. Based on the information before us, we conclude that Vetter has failed to act in good faith 
and that the license for Station WPVZ929 should be modified to remove its authorization to operate on 
frequency pair 810.6125/855.6125 MHz and add an authorization to operate on frequency pair 
816.5125/861.5125 MHz.
5. In accordance with Section 1.87(a) of the Commission's Rules,6 we will refrain from issuing 
an order modifying Station WPVZ929 until Vetter has received this notice of our proposed action and 
has had an opportunity to file a protest.  To protest the modification, Vetter must, within thirty days of 
the release date of this Order Proposing Modification, submit a written statement which protests the 
proposed modification by demonstrating that it is not in the public interest.  The protest must be filed 
with the Office of the Secretary, Federal Communications Commission, 445 Twelfth Street, S.W., Room 
TW-A325, Washington, DC 20554.7 In addition, please provide an electronic copy of any written 
statement to Roberto Mussenden, Policy Division, Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau, at

6. If no protest is filed, Vetter will have waived his right to protest the modification and will be 
deemed to have consented to the modification.  The license for Station WPVZ929 will then be modified 
to remove its authorization to operate on frequency pair 810.6125/855.6125 MHz and add authorization 
to operate on frequency pair 816.5125/861.5125 MHz.  All costs associated with relocating to the new 
frequency pair must be borne by Vetter.
