The   carriers and associations participating in this filing ("Petitioners") are: AirTouch   Communications, Inc.; ALLTEL Mobile Communications, Inc.; Arch Communications Group,   Inc.; AT&T Wireless Services, Inc.; BellSouth Corporation; Benbow PCS Ventures, Inc.; the   Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association; CMT Partners; CN WAN Corporation, a   whollyowned subsidiary of CellNet Data Systems, Inc.; Comcast Cellular Communications, Inc.;   kCommNet Cellular Inc.; Cox Enterprises, Inc.; Devon Mobile Communications, L.P.; Frontier   Cellular Holding, Inc.; GTE Service Corporation; MCG PCS, Inc.; Metrocall, Inc.; Nextel   [Communications, Inc.; Pacific Telecom Cellular, Inc.; Pagemart Wireless, Inc.; Paging Network,   /Inc.; the Personal Communications Industry Association; PriCellular Corporation; PrimeCo   Personal Communications, L.P.; R&S PCS, Inc.; Southwestern Bell Mobile Systems, Inc.;  X#-  Southwestern Bell Wireless, Inc.; Sprint Spectrum L.P.; 360o Communications Company; United   States Cellular Corporation; U S West, Inc.; Vanguard Cellular Systems, Inc.; and Western Wireless Corporation.  0The Petitioners request that the Commission forbear from applying the prior application   and approval requirements of Section 310(d) of the Act and corresponding sections of its   _regulations to nonsubstantial assignments of licenses and transfers of control of   telecommunications carriers holding radio licenses issued by the Wireless Telecommunications   Bureau. They argue that the statutory criteria for forbearance under Section 10(c) are met-+,,,?*e@d;[!,L| \ '#k \ h      because (1) the process for approval of nonsubstantial assignments and transfers is unnecessary   Mfor determining whether rates, terms, and conditions of service are unjust, unreasonable, or   discriminatory; (2) regulation of nonsubstantial assignments and transfers has not been used as   a vehicle for addressing consumer protection issues; and (3) forbearance will serve the public   jinterest by promoting the telecommunications carriers' ability to respond to competitive market   conditions without unnecessary cost or delay, and will permit both the Commission and affected carriers to employ their resources more efficiently.  Interested parties may file comments on the Petition no later than March 10, 1997; reply   /comments should be filed on or before March 25, 1997. All comments should reference the   Petition and this Public Notice and be filed with the Office of Secretary, Federal Communications   Commission, Washington, D.C. 20554. A copy of each filing should be sent to International   Transcription Service, Inc.
