SMCCD is incorrect. As noted below, Section 1.1202(d) defines a ``party'' to the proceeding as ``any person who files an application, waiver request, motion, request for declaratory ruling, or other filing seeking affirmative relief.'' The Bureau correctly held that SMCCD did not become a party to this proceeding until after it had filed its informal objection on October 13, 1999, nearly two months after the filing of the

On January 2, 1990 the Foundation sent a letter to the FCC asking that its application be deleted from the cut-off list issued on December 28, 1989. The Foundation did not send a copy of this letter to Oregon, in apparent violation of the Commission's regulations governing ex parte communications. See 47 C.F.R. 1.1202(b); 1.1208(a). On January 12 the Commission issued an erratum stating that the Foundation's application "was listed inadvertently on [the "A" list], released December 28, 1989 and is hereby deleted." Although it was aware of the January 10 cut-off date in the "A" list published on December 6, Oregon did not file its own application for the Redding station until January

After yet another investigation, the Office of General Counsel (OGC) dismissed the charge, finding that the contacts were all congressional "status inquiries" exempt from the ban on ex parte contacts under the Commission's rules. 47 C.F.R. � 1.1202(a).

See Mercury PCS II, LLC, 13 F.C.C.R. 5756 (1997) p 1. When the investigation was over, the Commission imposed upon Mercury a $650,000 forfeiture, see Notice
