Federal Communications Commission DA 15-1437 Before the Federal Communications Commission Washington, DC 20554 In the Matter of Constellium Rolled Products Ravenswood, LLC, an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Constellium N.V. ) ) ) ) ) File No.: EB-SED-13-00012123 NAL/Acct. No.: 201432100020 FRN: 0005812789 ORDER Adopted: December 30, 2015 Released: December 30, 2015 By the Chief, Enforcement Bureau: 1. The Enforcement Bureau (Bureau) of the Federal Communications Commission (Commission) has entered into a Consent Decree to resolve its investigation into whether Constellium Rolled Products Ravenswood, LLC (Constellium) operated wireless radio stations without Commission authority, failed to timely file for authority to continue to operate these stations, and transferred control of wireless radio station licenses without prior Commission approval. The Commission’s licensing rules are intended to prevent harmful interference with authorized radio communications services in the United States, and to facilitate the efficient administration of spectrum. To settle this matter, Constellium admits that it violated the Commission’s licensing rules, will implement a three-year compliance plan designed to ensure future compliance with the Commission’s licensing rules, and will pay a $135,000 civil penalty. As part of the compliance plan, Constellium will hire and retain a compliance officer, develop a compliance manual, develop and implement compliance training for all covered employees, and submit to the Commission compliance reports at designated intervals. As noted in the Consent Decree, although this figure is lower than the amount originally proposed against Constellium, that reduction in part reflects the Bureau’s consideration and acceptance of the company’s request that any penalty should be based on the four licenses Constellium ultimately obtained to cover its Private Land Mobile Radio Service (PLMRS) operations, rather than the eight expired PLMRS licenses on which the proposed forfeiture was based, and also reflects that Constellium has accepted additional obligations and expenses by agreeing to a compliance plan. 2. After reviewing the terms of the Consent Decree and evaluating the facts before us, we find that the public interest would be served by adopting the Consent Decree and resolving the Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture (NAL) regarding Constellium’s compliance with Sections 301 and 310(d) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (Act), 1 Sections 1.903(a) and 1.948(a) of the Commission’s rules, 2 and the associated Commission orders requiring licensees to seek authority for any operation that occurs after a license expires, 3 all pertaining to (i) Constellium’s operation of Private Land Mobile Radio Service (PLMRS) stations without Commission authority, (ii) Constellium’s failure to file timely applications for authority to continue operating these stations, and (iii) its failure to obtain Commission consent prior to the transfer of control of PLMRS station authorizations. 1 47 U.S.C. §§ 301, 310(d). 2 47 C.F.R. §§ 1.903(a), 1.948(a). 3 See Biennial Regulatory Review – Amendment of Parts 0, 1, 13, 22, 24, 26, 27, 80, 87, 90, 95, 97, and 101 of the Commission’s Rules to Facilitate the Development and Use of the Universal Licensing System in the Wireless Telecommunications Services, Report and Order, 13 FCC Rcd 21027 (1998); Memorandum Opinion and Order on Reconsideration, 14 FCC Rcd 11476, 11485–86, para. 22 (1999).

In the absence of material new evidence relating to this matter, we do not set for hearing the question of Constellium’s basic qualifications to hold or obtain any Commission license or authorization. 4 4. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Sections 4(i) and 503(b) of the Act 5 and the authority delegated by Sections 0.111 and 0.311 of the Commission’s rules, 6 the attached Consent Decree IS ADOPTED and its terms incorporated by reference. 5.

Poutasse, Chief, Spectrum Enforcement Division, FCC Enforcement Bureau, to Georgina L.O. Feigen, Esq., Counsel to Constellium Rolled Products Ravenswood, LLC (Aug. 2, 2013) (on file in EB-SED- 13-00012123). 6 The investigation into unlicensed operation was initiated under File No. EB-SED-13-00008685 while the investigation into the unauthorized transfer of control was initiated under EB-SED-14-00015138; these investigations were consolidated, however, under File No. EB-SED-13-00012123 prior to the release of the NAL. See NAL, 29 FCC Rcd at 6277 n.1. 7 47 U.S.C. § 301; 47 C.F.R. § 1.903(a). 8 See Universal Licensing System Report and Order, 13 FCC Rcd at 21071, para. 98 (directing licensees that fail to file timely renewal applications to submit a new application or, if necessary, an STA request); Universal Licensing System MO&O, 14 FCC Rcd at 11485–86, para. 22 (permitting, in the alternative, the acceptance and processing of late-filed renewal applications under certain circumstances). In the Universal Licensing System MO&O, the Commission expressly held that it could “initiate enforcement action against the licensee for untimely filing and unauthorized operation between the expiration of the license and the late renewal filing, including, if appropriate, (continued….) Federal Communications Commission DA 15-1437 3 4. Under Section 310(d) of the Act, a Commission license may not be “transferred, assigned, or disposed of in any manner, voluntarily or involuntarily, directly or indirectly, or by transfer of control of any corporation holding such . . . license” until the licensee has sought and obtained Commission approval. 10 Similarly, Section 1.948(a) of the Rules states that “authorizations in the Wireless Radio Services may be assigned by the licensee to another party, voluntarily or involuntarily, directly or indirectly, or the control of a licensee holding such authorizations may be transferred, only upon application to and approval by the Commission.” 11 5. Constellium operated Private Land Mobile Radio Service (PLMRS) stations without the necessary Commission authority, failed to timely file the associated applications for authority to continue operating these stations, and failed to obtain the requisite Commission consent prior to transferring control of PLMRS station authorizations. 12 On May 29, 2014, the Commission issued the NAL for two hundred ninety-four thousand four hundred dollars ($294,400) against Constellium for these apparent violations of Sections 301 and 310(d) of the Act, Sections 1.903(a) and 1.948(a) of the Rules, and the Universal Licensing System Orders and associated rules. 13 Specifically, the Commission proposed a $256,000 aggregate forfeiture against Constellium for the unauthorized operation of PLMRS stations and its failure to seek Commission authority for its continued station operations. 14 In addition, the Commission proposed a $38,400 forfeiture against Constellium for its unauthorized transfer of control of the PLMRS station authorizations. 15 6.

As of the Effective Date, Constellium waives any and all rights it may have to 18 The reduction from the proposed forfeiture amount in the NAL in part reflects the Bureau’s acceptance of Constellium’s request that any penalty should be based on the four licenses Constellium ultimately obtained to cover its PLMRS operations rather than the eight expired PLMRS licenses on which the NAL was based. See Constellium Rolled Products Ravenswood, LLC, Statement Seeking Reduction of Proposed Forfeiture at 15 (June 27, 2014) (on file in EB-SED-13-00012123); NAL, 29 FCC Rcd at 6283, para. 12.
