FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

47 CFR Parts 1 and 22

[CC Docket Nos. 92-115, 94-46 and 93-116]

 

Public Mobile Services; Correction

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Correction to final rules.

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

SUMMARY: This document contains corrections to the final rules that 
were published on Thursday, November 17, 1994 (59 FR 59502). These 
rules regulate licensing and use of radio stations that provide public 
mobile services, including paging and cellular telephone services.

EFFECTIVE DATE: January 1, 1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
B.C. ``Jay'' Jackson, Jr., Commercial Radio Division, Wireless 
Telecommunications Bureau, (202) 418-1310.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The final rules that are the subject of these corrections are part 
of a revision of 47 CFR Part 22 in its entirety and certain related 
rule sections in 47 CFR Part 1.

Need for Correction

    A few of the final rules, as published, contain errors that cause 
the publication to be inconsistent with the current CFR in one instance 
and to contradict other portions of the FCC document in the other 
instances. These errors have already caused some confusion among 
regulatees and as a result industry organizations have requested 
clarification. Therefore, this correction is necessary.

Correction of Publication

    The amendatory language contained in instruction number 3 states 
that the phrase ``Except as specified in Sec. 22.6'', is to be removed. 
However, this instruction can not be carried out in reference to the 
current CFR, because the indicated phrase has already been removed by a 
previous amendment (59 FR 30984, published June 18, 1994). Consequently 
Sec. 1.742 will not be amended.
    In Sec. 22.121, paragraph (d) reads in pertinent portions ``If an 
authorization is voluntarily cancelled or automatically terminated * * 
* on the same channel (or, in the case of a 931 MHz paging station, the 
same frequency range) * * *.'' However, the FCC stated in the 
discussion of this rule section in Appendix A of the Report and Order 
that the waiting period would not apply in the case of authorizations 
submitted voluntarily for cancellation. Furthermore, in the Report and 
Order, the FCC decided to require that applications for 931 MHz paging 
stations specify the channel(s) for which authorization is desired, 
rather than continuing to require that such applications request 
authorization for channels to be selected by the FCC staff. Because of 
this decision, the waiting period applies only to the specific 931 MHz 
channels involved, and not to the entire 931 MHz frequency range. In 
Sec. 22.165, the word ``in'' was inadvertently omitted. In Sec. 22.901, 
the language adopted reflected an earlier version of the CFR rather 
than the current version.
    Accordingly, the publication of November 17, 1994, FR Doc. 94-
27415, of final rules in CC Docket Nos. 92-115, 94-46 and 93-116 is 
corrected as follows:


Sec. 1.742  [Corrected]

    1. On page 59503, in the second column, remove amendatory 
instruction 3.


Sec. 22.121  [Corrected]

    2. On page 59514, in the third column, in Sec. 22.121, the first 
sentence in paragraph (d) is corrected by removing the two phrases 
``voluntarily cancelled or'' and ``(or, in the case of a 931 MHz paging 
station, the same frequency range)''.


Sec. 22.165  [Corrected]

    3. On page 59523, in the first column, in Sec. 22.165, in paragraph 
(d)(2), the words ``set forth Sec. 22.411'' are corrected to read ``set 
forth in Sec. 22.411''.


Sec. 22.901  [Corrected]

    4. On page 59560, in the second column, in Sec. 22.901, in the 
introductory text of paragraph (d), the phrase ``communication channels 
in'' is corrected to read ``spectrum within''.
