Page 1 of 3 ISP-PDR-20210128-00002 E DOCOMO PACIFIC, INC. Petition for Declaratory Ruling On January 28, 2021, DOCOMO Pacific, Inc. (DPAC or Petitioner) filed a letter notification pursuant to section 1.5004(f) of the Commissioner's rules, 47 CFR § 1.5004(f). Concurrently, Petitioner filed a petition for a new declaratory ruling (Petition), pursuant to section 310(b)(4) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. § 310(b)(4), and section 1.5000(a)(1) of the Commission's rules, asking the Commission to find that it would serve the public interest to approve the increase of indirect foreign equity and voting interests in DPAC's controlling U.S. parent, DOCOMO Guam Holdings, Inc. (DGH). According to the Petition, DPAC, a corporation organized under the law of Guam, is a provider of voice and internet service in Guam and the Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands. DPAC holds the following types of authorizations to which section 310(b) is applicable: AWS-3, AWS-1, Cellular, Paging, Common Carrier Fixed Point to Point Microwave, PCS Broadband, 700 MHz Lower Band, and Wireless Communications Service. DPAC is wholly owned by DGH, a Guam corporation, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of NTT DOCOMO, INC. (NTT DOCOMO), a Japanese corporation. In 2015, the Commission issued a foreign ownership ruling to DPAC, finding that the public interest would not be served by prohibiting foreign ownership of DGH in excess of the 25% benchmark in section 310(b)(4) of the Act. See International Authorizations Granted, Public Notice, 30 FCC Rcd 7403 (2015 Ruling). At the time of the 2015 Ruling, NTT DOCOMO was majority-owned by Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation (NTT), a Japanese corporation publicly traded on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, and Japanese Ministry of Finance (JMOF), a Japanese government entity, in turn held 33.33% equity and voting interests in NTT. The 2015 Ruling specifically approved direct and indirect foreign equity and/or voting interests in DGH as follows: (1) NTT DOCOMO to hold up to and including 100% equity and voting interests; (2) NTT to hold up to and including 65.15% of the equity and voting interests; and (3) JMOF to hold up to and including 26.95% of the equity interest and 41.53% of the voting interest. According to the Petition, NTT commenced a tender offer for outstanding NTT DOCOMO shares on September 30, 2020. On November 24, NTT acquired such tendered shares, which increased its interests in DPAC to 91.46%. On November 27, 2020, NTT made a cash-out demand, which DOCOMO approved. According to the Petition, on December 29, 2020, NTT had completed a series of transactions that resulted in NTT directly acquiring 100% of the equity and voting interests in NTT DOCOMO. As a result of those transactions, NTT, now indirectly owns 100% of the equity and voting interests in DGH, in excess of the equity and voting percentages approved by the Commission in the 2015 Ruling. In addition, JMOF, which holds 33.93% of NTT's issued and outstanding shares, now indirectly holds 33.93% equity and voting interests in DGH, in excess of the equity percentage approved in the 2015 Ruling. Pursuant to section 1.5001(i) of the Commission's rules, Petitioner requests that the Commission specifically approve direct and indirect foreign equity and voting interests in DPAC's controlling U.S. parent, DGH, by foreign-organized entities as follows: NTT DOCOMO, Inc., (up to and including 100% equity and voting) (Japan); Nippon Telephone and Telegraph Corporation (up to and including 100% equity and voting) (Japan); and Japan Ministry of Finance (33.93% equity and voting) (Japan). Petitioner also requests advance approval, pursuant to section 1.5001(k) of the Commission's rules, for Japan Ministry of Finance to acquire up to a non-controlling 49.9% indirect equity and/or voting interest in DGH. Petitioner acknowledges that DGH continues to be subject to the October 10, 2006 agreement entered into by and between DGH, on the one hand, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the U.S. Department of Justice, and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, on the other hand. See Memorandum Opinion and Order and Declaratory Ruling, FCC 06-167, 21 FCC Rcd 13580, 13623-53 (2006). Petitioner asserts that the public interest would be served by granting the Petition. Through this Public Notice, pursuant to Commission practice, the Petition for Declaratory Ruling is being referred to the relevant Executive Branch agencies for their views on any national security, law enforcement, foreign policy, or trade policy concerns related to the foreign ownership of the Petitioners. Action on this Petition for Declaratory Ruling is without prejudice to any enforcement action by the Commission for non-compliance with the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, or the Commission's rules. Interested parties may file comments on or before June 4, 2021, and reply comments on or before June 11, 2021.
