SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    1. This is a summary of the Order adopted January 18, 1995, and 
released January 30, 1995. The complete text of this Order may be 
purchased from the Commission's copy contractor, International 
Transcription Service, (202) 857-3800, 2100 M Street, NW., Suite 140, 
Washington, DC 20037.
    2. The Order asserted that Mr. Herbert L. Schoenbohm has applied 
for renewal of his amateur service station and operator licenses.
    3. The Order asserted further that, in Government v. Schoenbohm, 
No. Crim: 1991/0108 (D.V.I. Dec. 30, 1992), Mr. Schoenbohm was 
convicted in the U.S. District Court for the District of the Virgin 
Islands (District Court) of violating 18 U.S.C. 1029(a)(1) (fraudulent 
use of counterfeit access device); and that, on appeal, the U.S. Court 
of Appeals for the Third Circuit affirmed Mr. Schoenbohm's conviction. 
United States v. Schoenbohm, No. 93-7516 (Third Circuit July 22, 1994).
    4. The Order alleged that, in view of the criminal conviction 
described above, Mr. Schoenbohm apparently lacks the requisite 
qualifications for a renewal of his amateur service licensee.
    5. The Order designated Mr. Schoenbohm's application for hearing 
upon the following issues:
    (a) To determine whether, in light of the conviction described 
above, Herbert L. Schoenbohm is qualified to renew his amateur service 
licenses.
    (b) To determine, in light of the foregoing issue, whether granting 
Herbert L. Schoenbohm's application [[Page 7544]] would serve the 
public interest, convenience and necessity.
    6. The Order placed the burden of proceeding with the introduction 
of evidence and the burden of proof upon the respondent as to all 
issues.
