FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

[DA 16-336]


Final Notice of Intent To Terminate Authorization of JuBe, 
Communications, LLC

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In this document, the International Bureau affords JuBe 
Communications, LLC (JuBe) final notice and opportunity to respond to 
the December 23, 2015 letter submitted by the Department of Justice, 
with the concurrence of the Department of Homeland Security and the 
Federal Bureau of Investigation (collectively the ``Executive Branch 
agencies'') requesting that the FCC terminate, and declare null and 
void and no longer in effect and/or revoke the international section 
214 authorization issued to JuBe under file number ITC-214-20070607-
00218.

DATES: Submit comments on or before May 4, 2016.

return receipt requested, at the last address of record appearing in 
Commission records. JuBe should send its response to Denise Coca, 
Chief, Telecommunications and Analysis Division, International Bureau 
via email at [email protected] and to Cara Grayer, Telecommunications 
and Analysis Division, International Bureau at [email protected] and

Analysis Division, International Bureau, at (202) 418-2960 or 
[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Executive Branch Dec. 23, 2015 
Letter, the Executive Branch agencies state that they have reason to 
believe that JuBe may be dissolved and no longer providing service. As 
a result, the Executive Branch agencies indicate that JuBe is unable to 
comply with the commitments and undertakings contained in the July 12, 
2007 Letter that JuBe entered into with the Executive Branch agencies 
to address national security and law enforcement concerns. Compliance 
with these commitments is a condition to the international Section 214 
authorization the Commission issued to JuBe on July 27, 2007, and by 
this notice the Bureau provides final notice to JuBe that it intends to 
take action to declare JuBe's international 214 authorization 
terminated for failure to comply with conditions of its authorization, 
and further advises that it may refer the matter for enforcement action 
for non-compliance with the applicable regulatory provisions. On 
January 19, 2016, the Bureau's Telecommunications and Analysis Division 
sent a letter to JuBe at the last known addresses on record via 
certified, return receipt mail, asking JuBe to respond to the Executive 
Branch agencies' allegations by February 18, 2016. The January 19, 2016 
letter stated that failure to respond would result in the issuance of 
an order to terminate JuBe's international Section 214 authorization. 
JuBe did not respond to the request.
    In addition, the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the Act) 
and the Commission's rules require authorization holders to comply with 
certain requirements that enable the Commission to contact and 
communicate with the authorization holder and verify whether the 
authorization holder is still providing service. JuBe appears to have 
failed to comply with those requirements. For example, every carrier 
must designate an agent for service and keep that information current. 
See 47 U.S.C. 413; 47 CFR 1.47(h), 64.1195. See also 47 CFR 63.19, 
63.21(a), and 63.21(d).
    JuBe's failure to respond to this Public Notice will be deemed as 
an admission of the facts alleged by the Executive Branch agencies and 
of the violation of the statutory and rule provisions set out above. 
The Bureau hereby provides final notice to JuBe that it intends to take 
action to declare JuBe's international 214 authorization terminated for 
failure to comply with conditions of its authorization, and further 
advises that it may refer the matter for enforcement action for non-
compliance with the applicable regulatory provisions. JuBe must respond 
to this Public Notice no later than 15 days after publication in the 
Federal Register.
    The proceeding in this Notice shall be treated as a ``permit-but-
disclose'' proceeding in accordance with the Commission's ex parte 
rules.

Federal Communications Commission.
Denise Coca,
Chief, Telecommunications & Analysis Division, International Bureau.
