   Adopted:  January 13, 2000           Released:  January 14, 2000  

By the Deputy Chief, Policy and Rules Branch, Commercial Wireless Division, Wireless Telecommunications
Bureau:

     1.                                 We have before us a request for waiver of
section 90.149(a) of the Commission's rules filed by Elliot Acosta on February 9, 1999 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 Acosta filed his request for reinstatement after the end of the applicable
additional 30-day period.  However, Acosta timely constructed his authorization and is currently providing service. 
We therefore will grant his requested waiver.

     2.                                 Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant
to section 4(i) of the Communications Act, as amended, 47 U.S.C.  154(i), and sections 0.331 and 90.151 of the
Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R.  0.331, 90.151, the request for waiver filed by Elliot Acosta on February 9, 1999
IS GRANTED.
