Report No. DC 95-94        ACTION IN DOCKET CASE               July 6, 1995


       RECONSIDERATION DENIED REGARDING PROCEEDING FOR NEW CELLULAR
               RADIO SYSTEM FOR THE KANSAS - 3 (JEWELL) RSA
                          (CC DOCKET NO. 90-591)

     The Commission has denied The Committee for a Fair Lottery's
petition for reconsideration of the Commission's grant of the
application of Nancy Naleszkiewicz for a new cellular radio
system for the Kansas - 3 (Jewell) Rural Service Area (RSA).

     The Commission granted Naleszkiewicz' application for review
and reversed the Review Board's decision which denied her
application on character grounds.  This proceeding was initiated
to determine whether Naleszkiewicz was involved in her husband's
fraudulent business activities and whether she had made
misrepresentations to the Commission with respect to his
misconduct.  Based on the record, the Commission concluded that
Naleszkiewicz was not involved in, and had  no prior knowledge
of, her husband's scheme.

     The Committee's petition for reconsideration contended that
the Commission should not have reversed the Board's decision in
light of Naleszkiewicz' failure to challenge those findings; that
no weight should be given to the testimony of her husband; and
that the Commission erred in overturning the Administrative Law
Judge's demeanor findings concerning Naleszkiewicz' testimony.

     Denying reconsideration, the Commission found that
Naleszkiewicz's testimony was credible and that corroborating
testimony confirmed the limited and subordinate nature of
Naleszkiewicz's role in her husband's business activities.

     The Commission's review of the entire record in this
proceeding, given its circumstances, was correct and The
Committee's other contentions, which were previously considered,
provided no basis for granting reconsideration.

     Action by the Commission June 26, 1995, by Order (FCC 95-
268).  Chairman Hundt, Commissioners Quello, Barrett, Ness, and
Chong.
