Stanacard, a Delaware limited liability company, primarily offers competitive prepaid interexchange services across the United States. Ms. Koroleva currently owns approximately 89 percent of the limited liability interests of the company. Mr. Choupak does not own or operate any provider of domestic telecommunications services. Control of Stanacard will pass from Ms. Koroleva to Mr. Choupak pursuant to the transfer of all of Ms. Koroleva’s ownership interests in the company. Applicants state that as a result of this transfer, Ms. Koroleva’s interest will be reduced to zero, and Mr. Choupak’s interest in the company will increase from zero to approximately 89 percent. The remaining 11 percent of the company will continue to be held by Eduard Romanov, a U.S. citizen. Applicants assert that the proposed transaction is entitled to presumptive streamlined treatment under sections 63.03(b)(2)(i) of the Commission’s rules and that a grant of the application will serve the public interest, convenience, and necessity.2 Domestic Section 214 Application Filed for the Transfer of Control of Stanacard LLC from Anastasia Koroleva to Michael Choupak, WC Docket No. 13-88 (filed Mar. 25, 2013). 1 47 C.F.R § 63.03; see 47 U.S.C. § 214.
