ORDER
Adopted:  August 19, 2010 Released:  August 20, 2010
By the Deputy Chief, Mobility Division, Wireless Telecommunications Bureau:
1. We have before us a request filed by Atlantic Telecommunications (Atlantic), requesting 
termination of the license of Koch Skanska Inc. (Koch Skanska) for Industrial/Business Pool Station 
KBG477, New York, New York.1 For the reasons set forth below, we grant the request in part.
2. Background.  The license for Station KBG477 authorizes operation of a base station at 
233 Broadway transmitting on frequency 472.3375 MHz, and four mobile units transmitting on 
frequencies 472.3375 MHz and 475.3375 MHz within forty-eight kilometers of 233 Broadway.  Atlantic 
argues that Koch Skanska’s license terminated automatically due to a permanent discontinuance of station 
operations.  It states that it detected no transmissions from Station KBG477 despite monitoring the 
channel for over a year.2 Atlantic also states that it was informed by the site owner that there are no 
facilities operating on that channel at that location, and that Koch Skanska canceled its service on a 
community repeater at that site.3
3. The Wireless Telecommunications Bureau’s Mobility Division, acting pursuant to 
Section 308(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended,4 directed Koch Skanska to provide 
information concerning the operational status of Station KBG477.5 Koch Skanska replied that the base 
station was no longer in use, but the licensed frequencies were being used for mobile-to-mobile 
communications.6
4. Discussion.  Section 90.157(a) of the Commission’s Rules provides that a private land 
mobile radio station authorization cancels automatically upon discontinuance of operation for a period of 
one year or more.7 The information in the record demonstrates that Koch Skanska permanently 
discontinued operation of its licensed base station at 233 Broadway.  Therefore, we conclude that the 
authorization for location 1 of Station KBG477 canceled automatically.8 We therefore will remove that
