SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    1. This is a summary of the Order adopted February 6, 1995, and 
released February 15, 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, N.W., 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. Sec. 1029(a)91) 
(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 
before an Administrative Law Judge and at a time and location 
determined by the order of the Chief Administrative Law Judge released 
on February 2, 1995, 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 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.
