(" Satamatics" or "Petitioner") requests that the Commission find permissible the indirect foreign ownership of Satamatics in excess of the 25 percent benchmark set forth in Section 310( b)( 4) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended. This request is filed in connection with an application seeking a pro forma assignment of a blanket earth station license (call sign E020074) from Richtec Incorporated (" Richtec") to Satamatics. Petitioner states that the indirect foreign ownership of Satamatics will be identical to the previously approved indirect foreign ownership of Richtec (citing International Authorizations Granted, DA 03- 1814, rel. May 29, 2003). Petitioner states that upon consummation of the corporate reorganization, Satamatics, a U. S. corporation, will be wholly owned by Satamatics Holdings, Inc. (" Satamatics Holdings"), a U. S. corporation that also wholly- owns Richtec. Satamatics Holdings, in turn, is wholly owned by Richtec PLC, a United Kingdom (U. K.) company. According to the Petitioner, all of the equity and voting interests in Richtec PLC are held by U. K citizens or by entities that have their principal place of business in the United Kingdom. The Petitioner asserts that, pursuant to the rules and policies established in the Commission's Foreign Participation Order, 12 FCC Rcd 23891 (1997), Order on Reconsideration, 15 FCC Rcd 18158 (2000), the "home market" of Richtec PLC and each of its current investors is the United Kingdom, a member of the World Trade Organization.
