By the Commission:


1.     The Commission has before it a letter dated June 28, 1999, from Robin Hardin seeking
review of the May 25, 1999, decision of the Mass Media Bureau granting in part and denying in
part her Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for documents concerning the investigation
of a possible sponsorship identification violation by Station WCHB, Taylor, Michigan.  Ms.
Hardin's application for review is dismissed as untimely because it was filed more than 30 days
after the decision.  See 47 C.F.R.  0.461(j) (applications for review of initial FOIA decisions
must be filed with the General Counsel within 30 days after the date of the written decision); see
also Michael C. Olson, 13 FCC Rcd 20593 (1998). 
2.     Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that Ms. Hardin's Application for Review IS
DISMISSED.
3.     The Officials responsible for this action are the following Commissioners:  Chairman
Kennard, Commissioners Ness, Furchtgott-Roth, Powell, and Tristani.
