Adopted:  November 16, 1994   Released:  November 18, 1994

By the Commission:

     1.   The Commission has before it a "Request for Immediate
Commission Action."  The Request was tendered for filing in this
non-public inquiry by IVDS Enterprises Joint Venture on November 1,
1994.  The inquiry is being conducted pursuant to Section 403 of
the Communications Act, of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C.  403.  The
"Request" asks the Commission to immediately conduct IVDS re-
auctions in markets where there have been defaults and restrict
participation therein to bona fide applicants; to accord a non-
defaulting auction bidder in a market where a default has occurred
the opportunity to secure a winning bid reduction; and to grant a
credit against all bona fide licensees' bids.  The Request for
relief is beyond the scope of this investigatory fact finding
proceeding because it seeks special relief in the nature of
adjudicatory action with respect to certain IVDS licenses.  The
Request will, therefore, be dismissed.  

     2.   ACCORDINGLY, IT IS ORDERED, that the Request for
Immediate Commission Action, tendered for filing by IVDS
Enterprises Joint Venture on November 1, 1994, IS DISMISSED without
prejudice to being refiled outside this proceeding with service on
all IVDS license bidders who defaulted and who would be affected by
the Request.
