In a previous Order adopted March 13, 1995, the Bureau waived this oneyear buildout  X-requirement for six licensees.[> X]&-ԍ Order, DA 95481, released March 13, 1995. [ In this present Order, we extend that relief to  {X the  {X eleven additional licensees. "0*0*0*3"Ԍx2. Each of the present petitioners are situated similarly to the previous six. As noted in the previous Order, until October 20, 1994, a court case was pending that challenged the  X-lottery process used to award these licenses., XK-ԍ Larry M. Warner, Esq., Trustee, John Calvin Kemmer Inter Vivos Trust v. FCC,  X4-No. 931668 (D.C. Cir.). The case was dismissed on October 20, 1994. Further, three Applications for Reviewb, X-ԍ See Genesis Perpetual Trust, "Application for Review," filed October 18, 1993; Edward M. Johnson, "Application for Review," filed March 25, 1994; Jan M. Reed, "Application for  X-Review," filed March 25, 1994. These filings request, inter alia, that the results of the lottery be invalidated. These entities have also filed additional, subsequent applications or petitions, challenging the March 28, 1994 issuance of licenses.  currently before the Commission make similar challenges and might well, if denied, be appealed to the courts. As noted previously, these challenges have created, and continue to create, uncertainty concerning the subject licenses.  X_-x3. Pursuant to Section 1.3 of the Commission's Rules,d_, X-ԍ#Xj\  P6G;yoXP# 47 C.F.R.  1.3.d the Commission may waive a provision of its rules "if special circumstances warrant a deviation from the general rule and  X1-such deviation will serve the public interest." Northeast Cellular Telephone Co. v. FCC,  X -897 F.2d 1164, 1166 (D.C. Cir. 1990) (citing WAIT Radio v. FCC, 418 F.2d 1153, 1159  X -(D.C. Cir. 1969), cert. denied, 409 U.S. 1027 (1972)). Here, the general rule was intended "to reduce the filing of speculative applications by entities that have no real intention of  X -implementing [IVDS] systems and to avoid the potential for warehousing of IVDS spectrum."  h , X-ԍ Report and Order, supra note 1, at 1640  73; see Memorandum Opinion and Order  in GEN Docket No. 912, 7 FCC Rcd 4923, 4925  13 (1992). On the facts before us, we find that the standard for waiver is met. We are aware of no evidence of speculation or warehousing, and we find it would be unreasonable to require the petitioners to meet the current buildout requirements, given the uncertainty that exists  Xy-concerning their licenses. y , X,-ԍ See, e.g., In re Rainbow Broadcasting Co., FCC 94122, 9 FCC Rcd 2839, 2846  37  X-(1994); see also Public Notice, DA 921231, 57 Fed.Reg. 41935, 41936 (Sept. 14, 1992). Moreover, we find that waiving the oneyear construction deadline will not result in delays in service to the public because these licensees will still be required to satisfy the threeyear and fiveyear construction benchmarks. Moreover, we believe that providing licensees with additional flexibility in satisfying the construction benchmarks is desirable and consistent with our intent to allow for more flexible use of the spectrum. " 0*((R"Ԍ X-x4. Our decision makes moot the additional argument made by certain petitioners , Xy-ԍ#Xj\  P6G;yoXP# See filings, supra note 2, with the exception of those filed by Raveesh K. Kumra and Ignacio Santos de Hoyos. that an alleged lack of IVDS equipment, or installation delays, prevents them from ordering,  X-receiving, or installing equipment in time to meet the buildout requirement. vb, X-ԍ We have previously stated that we do not intend to relieve IVDS licensees of the construction requirements on the basis that development or deployment of equipment has  X-taken longer than might have been anticipated. See Report and Order, supra note 1, at 1639  X - 66; Order, Answers to Questions from the June 6, 1994 Bidders Seminar of the Auction of Narrowband Personal Communications Services (PCS) Licenses and Interactive Video and  Xr -Data Service Licenses, Mimeo 43550, released June 17, 1994, at Question 52.
