 ORDER  ON  RECONSIDERATION 
 Adopted:  May  10,  2001  Released:  May  14,  2001 


 By  the  Commission: 
 1.  In  this  Order,  we  deny  the  Petition  for  Reconsideration  that  ALLTEL  Illinois 
 Limited  Partnership  (“  ALLTEL”)  filed  on  March  26,  2001,  as  the  successor  in  interest  to  three 
 cellular  licenses  previously  operated  by  GTE  Wireless  of  the  South,  Inc.  (“  GTE”).  On 
 February  29,  2000,  the  Enforcement  Bureau  issued  an  order  holding  that  GTE  had  violated  the 
 Commission’s  rules  because  the  service  area  boundaries  associated  with  three  of  its  cellular 
 licenses  overlapped  into  the  Gulf  of  Mexico  cellular  geographic  service  area  (“  GMSA”)  licensed 
 to  Bachow/  Coastel  L.  L.  C  (“  Bachow”).  1  On  March  16,  2000,  GTE  filed  an  Application  for 
 Review  of  the  Enforcement  Bureau’s  decision.  The  Commission  denied  the  Application  for 
 Review  on  February  22,  2001.  2  In  the  instant  Petition  for  Reconsideration,  ALLTEL  requests 
 that  the  Commission  reverse  its  previous  decision. 


 2.  Where  the  Commission  has  denied  an  Application  for  Review,  as  we  have  done 
 here,  a  Petition  for  Reconsideration  will  only  be  entertained  if  it  relies  on  new  or  previously 


 1  See  Bachow/  Coastel,  L.  L.  C.  v.  GTE  Wireless  of  the  South,  Inc.,  Order,  DA  00-  420  (rel.  Feb.  29,  2000) 
 (“  Order”). 
 2  See  Bachow/  Coastel,  L.  L.  C.  v.  GTE  Wireless  of  the  South,  Inc.,  Order  on  Review,  FCC  01-  59  (rel.  Feb.  22, 
 2001)  (“  Order  on  Review”).

 unknown  facts  or  circumstances.  3  Because  ALLTEL  raises  no  new  or  previously  unknown  facts 
 or  circumstances,  we  deny  its  Petition  for  Reconsideration.  4 


 3.  Accordingly,  IT  IS  ORDERED,  pursuant  to  sections  1,  4(  i),  4(  j),  and  208  of  the 
 Communications  Act  of  1934,  as  amended,  47  U.  S.  C.  §§  151,  154(  i),  154(  j),  208,  and  section 
 1.106  of  our  rules,  47  C.  F.  R.  §  1.106,  that  the  Petition  for  Reconsideration  filed  by  ALLTEL  IS 
 DENIED.

 3  See  47  C.  F.  R.  §  1.106(  b). 
 4  See  id.  We  reject  ALLTEL’s  suggestion  that  its  role  as  successor  to  GTE  justifies  relitigating  previously 
 decided  issues.  See  Petition  for  Reconsideration  at  1,  n.  3.
