We received your letter dated July 30, , 08 in which it is indicated that
the Wireless Communication Facility under case number Z2003020 (SRP
Dusty Lane Cell Site) was never built. In 2006, Angela Castellano, from
SRP sent us a status report indicating that the site was not built,
but she requested to keep the SUP active in case another carrier was
interested on the site Considering this, we would like to knoi . if SRP
still has the same position related to this WCF. If you decided to keep
the SUP, we need the status report, if not we need a note indicating
the SUP to be removed. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have
further questions. Thanks
