Re: Environmentel, LLC, Skybridge Spectrum Foundation, V2G, LLC – Requests for Waiver 
of Section 1.2106(a), Auction of Licenses for Lower and Upper Paging Bands      
(Auction 95)
Dear Mr. Havens:
This letter denies the requests submitted on May 9, 2013, by Environmentel LLC (ENL), 
Skybridge Spectrum Foundation (SSF), and V2G LLC (V2G) (collectively, “Applicants”) seeking waiver 
of the Commission’s rule requiring a higher upfront payment for any applicant that has previously been 
delinquent on any non-tax debt owed to any Federal agency.
1
    
Each of the three Applicants states in its short-form application that it is a “former defaulter” 
within the meaning of section 1.2106(a) of the Commission’s rules.
2
    Each Applicant nevertheless 
requests that the Commission find that a de minimis exception exists with respect to section 1.2106(a), but 
fails to point to any Commission rule or decision establishing such exception.  In the alternative, each 
Applicant requests a waiver of the rule.  
Section 1.2106(a) contains no de minimis exception.  In the absence of any Commission rule or 
decision establishing such exception, we decline to apply a de minimis standard by which applicants who 
are former defaulters would not be required to submit the higher upfront payment required by the 
Commission’s rule.

47 C.F.R. § 1.2106.  An identical request was submitted in each Applicant’s Auction 95 short-form application 
(application to participate in Auction 95).  FCC Form 175 applications of ENL, SSF, V2G – Request for Waiver, 
submitted May 9, 2013 (Waiver Requests).    
2
See 47 C.F.R. § 1.2106(a) (a former defaulter may participate in an auction so long as it is otherwise qualified and 
submits an upfront payment that is fifty percent more than would otherwise be necessary).

ENL, SSF, and V2G fail to meet the standard for granting a waiver set forth in section 1.925 of 
the Commission’s rules.
3
  The Waiver Requests do not explain how the purpose of the rule would not be 
served or would be frustrated by applying the requirement for a higher upfront payment in these 
circumstances.  Nor do the Waiver Requests demonstrate how grant of the waiver would serve the public 
interest.  Finally, none of the three Waiver Requests present unique or unusual factual circumstances in
the instant case that would make application of the rules inequitable, unduly burdensome, or contrary to 
the public interest, or give the applicants no reasonable alternative. 
This action is taken pursuant to delegated authority under section 0.331 of the Commission’s 
rules.

See 47 C.F.R. § 1.925(b)(3) (The Commission may grant a request for waiver if it is shown that: (i) The underlying 
purpose of the rule(s) would not be served or would be frustrated by application to the instant case, and that a grant 
of the requested waiver would be in the public interest; or (ii) In view of unique or unusual factual circumstances of 
the instant case, application of the rule(s) would be inequitable, unduly burdensome or contrary to the public 
interest, or the applicant has no reasonable alternative.).
