- II, 5 FCC Rcd at 5922-23 ¶¶ 25-26). DCT Communications. Inc. Contingent Reply to Opposition to Further Petition for Reconsideration (filed Sept. 26, 1999) (Reply). Further Petition at 3-4. Id. at 4-5. Id. at 5. Id. at 8. Id. See 47 C.F.R. § 1.1102 (1994) (FCC Form 159 not listed as required when filing FCC Form 494); 47 C.F.R. § 1.1108(b) (1994). Altron's arguments to the contrary mischaracterize DCT's position and therefore are without merit. Specifically, Altron states that ``DCT does not dispute that the remittance advice form was still required at the time that DCT filed its application.'' Opposition at 7. As noted above, however, DCT specifically disputed that conclusion. See, e.g., Letter from Marilyn J. McDermett, Associate Managing Director,
