("Green Eagle" or "Petitioner") requests a declaratory ruling that the indirect foreign ownership of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Green Eagle Networks Inc. ("Green Eagle Networks"), in excess of the 25 percent benchmark set forth in section 310(b)(4) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, will serve the public interest. Green Eagle filed its petition in connection with the proposed assignment of two Personal Communications Service ("PCS") licenses to Green Eagle Networks for the provision of service in the geographic area of Scottsbluff, Nebraska and western Wyoming. See ULS File No. 0003926139. According to the petition, Green Eagle and Green Eagle Networks are both Delaware corporations. Petitioner states that, currently, 70 percent of the equity and voting interests of Green Eagle are held by foreign individuals and entities as follows: (1) KDSL Investments LLC ("KDSL") (12.13%); (2) GAH Investments LLC ("GAH") (19.67%); (3) Becker Capital Management, LLC ("BCM") (13.22%); (4) Man Prince Holdings ("Man Prince") (20%); and (5) Man Prince Holdings 2 ("Man Prince 2") (4.98%). KDSL is a Colorado limited liability holding company, controlled and owned by the children of Larry L. Becker, all of whom are Canadian citizens. GAH is a Colorado limited liability holding company, wholly owned and controlled by Gayle Becker, a citizen of Canada. BCM is a Colorado limited liability holding company, wholly owned by the LLB/GB Family Trust and controlled by Larry L. Becker, a citizen of Canada. The LLB/GB Family Trust is organized in the Cook Islands, and its beneficiaries are Larry L. Becker, Gayle Becker, and their children, all of whom are Canadian citizens. Man Prince and Man Prince 2, both of which are organized under the laws of Canada, are wholly owned and controlled by Lorn Becker, a Canadian citizen. Green Eagle also requests that the Commission's ruling permit Green Eagle Networks to accept up to and including an additional, aggregate 25 percent indirect foreign equity and/or voting interests from these and other foreign investors without seeking further Commission approval under section 310(b)(4) of the Communications Act. The Petitioner asserts that, pursuant to the rules and policies established by the Commission's Foreign Participation Order, 12 FCC Rcd 23891 (1997), Order on Reconsideration, 15 FCC Rcd 18158 (2000), the indirect foreign ownership of Green Eagle Networks in excess of the 25 percent benchmark of section 310(b)(4) of the Communications Act is consistent with the public interest. The Petitioner affirms that it will adhere to the Commitments agreed to by Telemetrix Inc. by Letter dated July 24, 2006 to the United States Department of Justice, United States Department of Homeland Security and Federal Bureau of Investigation.
