ORDER OF MODIFICATION

   Adopted:  July 30, 2019		Released:  July 31, 2019

By the Deputy Chief, Mobility Division, Wireless Telecommunications Bureau:

1. Introduction.  In this Order of Modification, we modify the license of Vantage Geophysical Corporation (Vantage) for conventional Industrial/Business Pool Station WRBZ878 to replace frequencies 451.125 MHz, 451.675 MHz, 452.675 MHz, 456.175 MHz, 456.725 MHz, 462.125 MHz, and 463.725 MHz with the following itinerant frequencies:  451.800 MHz, 451.8125 MHz, 456.800 MHz, 456.8125 MHz, 464.500 MHz, 464.550 MHz, and 469.500 MHz.  As explained below, we take this action pursuant to an earlier Order Proposing Modification. See Vantage Geophysical Corporation, Order Proposing Modification, DA 19-411 (WTB MD May 13, 2019) (Order Proposing Modification).

2. Background.  Certain frequencies in the Industrial/Business Pool are designated for itinerant operation, See 47 CFR § 90.35(c)(17), (58).
 which is defined as “[o]peration of a radio station at unspecified locations for varying periods of time.” See 47 CFR § 90.7.
  Itinerant operations do not provide, or receive, interference protection with respect to other itinerant operations on these frequencies. See 47 CFR § 90.138.
  An application for itinerant operation need not be accompanied by evidence of frequency coordination, but must request only itinerant frequencies. Id.

3. In 2018, Vantage was issued a license authorizing itinerant operations on non-itinerant frequencies.  On May 13, 2019, the Mobility Division, concluding that Vantage’s application had been granted in error, issued its Order Proposing Modification. See Order Proposing Modification at 1, para. 3.
  We accordingly proposed to modify Vantage’s license by replacing the existing frequencies with frequencies valid for itinerant use. Id. at 2, para. 5.

4. Discussion.  After the Order Proposing Modification was released, Vantage had 30 days to file a protest of the proposed modification. Id. (citing 47 CFR § 1.87(a)).
  Vantage did not protest the modification of its license within that time frame.  Accordingly, Vantage is deemed to have consented to the proposed modification. See 47 CFR § 1.87(h).
  Based on the record before us, we conclude that it is in the public interest to modify Vantage’s license for Station WRBZ878 by replacing frequencies 451.125 MHz, 451.675 MHz, 452.675 MHz, 456.175 MHz, 456.725 MHz, 462.125 MHz, and 463.725 MHz with the following itinerant frequencies: 451.800 MHz, 451.8125 MHz, 456.800 MHz, 456.8125 MHz, 464.500 MHz, 464.550 MHz, and 469.500 MHz.
5. Conclusion and Ordering Clauses.  ACCORDINGLY, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to sections 4(i) and 316(a) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. §§ 154(i), 316(a), and section 1.87 of the Commission’s rules, 47 CFR § 1.87, the license for Private Land Mobile Radio Service Station WRBZ878 BE MODIFIED by replacing frequencies 451.125 MHz, 451.675 MHz, 452.675 MHz, 456.175 MHz, 456.725 MHz, 462.125 MHz, and 463.725 MHz with itinerant frequencies 451.800 MHz, 451.8125 MHz, 456.800 MHz, 456.8125 MHz, 464.500 MHz, 464.550 MHz, and 469.500 MHz.
6. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that this Order of Modification SHALL BE SENT by certified mail, return receipt requested, to Vantage Geophysical Corporation, P.O. Box 421116, 10727 Inwood Drive, Houston, Texas  77042, Attn: Robert Beal.
7. This action is taken under delegated authority pursuant to sections 0.131 and 0.331 of the Commission’s Rules, 47 CFR §§ 0.131, 0.331.
