I. INTRODUCTION
1. On July 22, 2011, First Student, Inc. (First Student) filed a petition for reconsideration' of
a decision by the Licensing Branch of the Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau's Policy and
Licensing Division (Division) to dismiss its application for renewal of Public Safety Pool Conventional

reinstate First Student's renewal application, and require First Student to amend its application to correct

II. BACKGROUND
2. In October 2007, the Commission approved the assignment of license for station
WNVK311 from Laidlaw Transit, Inc., to First Student.' The expiration date of the WNVK311 license
was February 6, 2011. On February 1, 2011, FirstGroup America, Inc., (FirstGroup) filed an application
to renew the WNVK311 license.4 On April 15, 2011, the Division sent a Notice of Return letter to
FirstGroup, requesting it to explain the change in name from First Student to FirstGroup.5 The Division
noted that "this appears to be a change in ownership" and requested that FirstGroup explain the
discrepancy.6 The Division warned that failure to respond within 60 days (i.e. by July 2, 2011) would
result in dismissal of the renewal application.7 FirstGroup did not respond and the Division dismissed the
1 Letter from Michael Petrucci, Vice President and Deputy General Counsel, First Student, Inc., to FCC, PSHSB
(dated July 21, 2011) (Petition).
