Pursuant to Section 63.12 of the rules, these Section 214 applications will be granted 14 days after the date of this public notice (see 47 C.F.R. § 1.4 regarding computation of time), and the applicant may commence operations on the 15th day, unless the Commission has informed the applicant in writing, within 14 days after the date of this public notice, that the application, on further examination, has been deemed ineligible for streamlined processing. Communications between outside parties and Commission staff concerning these applications are permitted subject to the Commission's rules for "permit-but-disclose proceedings." See 47 C.F.R. § 1.1206. An application can be removed from streamlined processing only in the sound discretion of Commission staff. The filing of comments or a petition to deny will not necessarily result in an application being deemed ineligible for streamlined processing. The petitions for declaratory ruling listed below are for authority under Section 310(b)(4) of the Communications Act, 47 U.S.C. § 310(b)(4), to exceed the 25 percent foreign ownership benchmark applicable to common carrier radio licensees. The requested rulings will be granted 14 days after the date of this public notice, effective the next day, unless the application is formally opposed or the Commission has informed the applicant in writing, within 14 days of the date of this public notice, that the application, on further examination, has been deemed ineligible for streamlined processing. For this purpose, a formal opposition shall be sufficient only if it is received by the Commission and by the applicant within 14 days of the date of this public notice and its caption and text make it unmistakably clear that it is intended to be a formal opposition.

(Vizada or "Petitioner") requests that the Commission revise Vizada's existing declaratory ruling under section 310(b)(4) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. § 310(b)(4), ISP-PDR-20080501-00011 (see 25 FCC Rcd 2029 (IB 2010)), to reflect two proposed changes in ownership. First, a pro forma transaction is planned whereby a majority of the shares of a Vizada parent, MobSat Group Holdings S.a.r.l. (MobSat Group), would be transferred to a new holding company, Chrysaor S.a.r.l. (Chrysaor). Second, Bruno Ducharme, a Canadian citizen who holds interests in MobSat Group directly and indirectly, through MobSat Management S.a.r.l. (MobSat Management), would increase his aggregate holdings as a result of an increased interest in MobSat Management. Vizada, a Delaware corporation, is indirectly wholly owned by MobSat Group through a series of companies organized in the United States, Norway and The Netherlands. MobSat Group is organized in Luxembourg and its largest shareholders are: 1) Apax France VI FCPR (Apax), a French entity owning 51.9% equity and voting interests; 2) Altamir Amboise SCA (Altamir Amboise) a French entity owning 20.2% equity and voting interests; 3) MobSat Management, a Luxembourg entity owning 9.3% equity and voting interests; and 4) Apax Parallel Investment V, L.P. (API V) a Delaware entity owning 15.4% equity and voting interests. The remaining shares of MobSat Group are held by Michael Collins (a citizen of the United Kingdom) (1.2%); the Glenridge Trust (an entity organized in the United Kingdom) (1.2%); Bruno Ducharme (0.9%); and Bertrand Pivin (a citizen of France) and MobSat Gerance (an entity organized in Luxembourg) (each of which holds one share that constitutes less than .01%). Under the ownership structure for which Petitioner now seeks approval, the direct interests in MobSat Group would be held by Chrysaor (88.3%); MobSat Management (9.3%); Michael Collins (1.2%); the Glenridge Trust (1.2%); Bertrand Pivin and MobSat Gerance (each with one share constituting less than .01%). Chrysaor would be directly held by Apax France (57.1%); Altamir Amboise (22.2%); API V (16.9%); Bruno Ducharme (1%); and a new investor (2.8%). The holders of interests in MobSat Management would be Apax France (17.7%); Altamir Amboise (6.9%); Bruno Ducharme (15.0%); other individuals involved in the management of MobSat who are from World Trade Organization (WTO) Member countries (Norway, Sweden, the United States, Belgium, the United Kingdom, France and the Netherlands) (60.4%); and MobSat Gerance (less than .01%). Thus, the most significant ultimate stakeholders in MobSat Group would continue to be: Apax France (an aggregate 52.1%); Altamir Amboise (an aggregate 20.3%); and API V (14.9%). Petitioner states that it and its immediate parent companies are parties to an agreement with the Department of Justice, Department of Homeland Security and the Federal Bureau of Investigation which addresses national security and law enforcement concerns regarding Vizada's operations. See 25 FCC Rcd 2029, Appendix C. 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), revising the existing declaratory ruling under section 310(b)(4) to allow the ownership by Chrysaor and the increased ownership by Bruno Ducharme is consistent with the Commission's open entry policy for investment from WTO Member countries and should be presumed to be in the public interest.
