By the Chief, Policy and Licensing Division, Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau:

I. INTRODUCTION
1. On July 29, 2019 Parsippany Troy Hills Township (Parsippany) filed a Petition for Reconsideration (Petition) of the cancellation of Parsippany’s license to operate under call sign WQKG230. See Parsippany Troy Hills Township, Petition for Reconsideration (July 29, 2019) (Petition).  
  We dismiss the Petition. 
II. BACKGROUND
2. On July 11, 2019, the Commission cancelled the license for call sign WQKG230, which had expired on May 6, 2019.  On July 11, 2019, Parsippany filed the instant Petition. Id.
  
III. DISCUSSION
3. Pursuant to section 1.106(p) of the Commission’s rules, the Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau (Bureau) may dismiss petitions for reconsideration that plainly do not warrant consideration. 47 CFR § 1.106(p).
  The rule specifies that one example of such a petition is one that fails to identify any material error, omission, or reason warranting reconsideration. 47 CFR § 1.106(p)(1).
  Parsippany has failed to make any such showing and we therefore dismiss its Petition.
4. However, Parsippany may file a new, properly coordinated application if it desires to use its previously licensed frequencies.  In addition, if Parsippany needs to operate while an application is pending with the Commission, it may file a request for special temporary authority in accordance with section 1.931 of the Commission’s rules. See 47 CFR § 1.931.

IV. ORDERING CLAUSE
5. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to sections 4(i) and 303(c) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. §§ 154(i), 303(c), and sections 1.106 of the Commission’s rules, 47 CFR § 1.106, that the Petition for Reconsideration filed July 11, 2019, by the Parsippany Troy Hills Township IS DISMISSED. 
6. This action is taken under delegated authority pursuant to sections 0.191 and 0.392 of the Commission’s rules, 47 CFR §§ 0.191, 0.392.
