Bureau:

     1.                                 We have before us a Petition for
Reconsideration (Petition), filed by Ivan Brisbin (Brisbin) on September 11, 1998, of the Licensing and Technical
Analysis Branch's denial of his request for waiver of section 90.149(a) of the Commission's rules in connection
with his untimely request for reinstatement of his expired Specialized Mobile Radio (SMR) license.  Section
90.149(a) provides that licensees shall have an additional 30 days after the expiration of the license term to apply
for reinstatement of expired licenses, and Brisbin filed his request for reinstatement after the end of the applicable
additional 30-day period.  However, Brisbin timely constructed his authorization and is currently providing service. 
We therefore grant his Petition and, accordingly, grant his requested waiver and reinstate his license.

rules, 47 C.F.R.  0.331, the station authorization held by Ivan Brisbin, Call Sign WPCB813, IS HEREBY
REINSTATED.

     5.                                 IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that, pursuant
to section 4(i) of the Communications Act, as amended, 47 U.S.C.  154(i), and section 0.331 of the Commission's
rules, 47 C.F.R.  0.331, the Request for Confidential Treatment filed by Ivan Brisbin on September 11, 1998 IS
