MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER
Adopted: February 20, 2013
Released: February 21, 2013
By the Commission:
1.
The Commission has before it an Application for Review filed on April 21, 2008, by
Marlene V. Borman ("Borman"), permittee of unbuilt Station KWFA(AM), Tye, Texas (the “Station”).
Borman seeks review of the March 21, 2008, action by the Media Bureau (the “Bureau”)1 denying
Borman's petition for reconsideration of the denial of her request for waiver of Section 73.3598 of the
Commission’s Rules2 and additional time to construct the Station.3 The Bureau denied the petition,
concluding that circumstances beyond Borman’s control were not the primary cause of her failure to
construct.
2.
Upon review of the Application for Review and the entire record, we conclude that
Borman has failed to demonstrate that the Bureau erred. The Media Bureau, in the
Staff Decision,
properly decided the matters raised, and we uphold its decision for the reasons stated therein.
3.
ACCORDINGLY, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 5(c)(5) of the
Communications Act of 1934, as amended,4 and Section 1.115(g) of the Commission’s Rules,5 the
Application for Review IS DENIED.

January 22, 2007, the call letters KWFA ARE DELETED, and the Commission’s data base will be
updated to reflect the expiration of the construction permit, File No. BP-19870303AG.
