Order

Adopted: March 22, 1995
Released: March 30, 1995

    By the Acting Chief, Private Wireless Division, Wireless 
Telecommunications Bureau and the Acting Chief, Spectrum Engineering 
Division, Office of Engineering and Technology:
    1. On November 28, 1994, the Private Radio Bureau and the Office of 
Engineering and Technology, acting under delegated authority, approved 
an amendment to the New York Metropolitan Area (Region 8) Public Safety 
Plan (Plan). Order, Gen. Docket No. 88-476, adopted November 28, 1994, 
DA 94-1329. In the Order, we inadvertently failed to note that Mr. 
Charles L. Larsen filed a timely comment on August 2, 1994.
    2. We have reviewed Mr. Larsen's comment. Mr. Larsen opposed the 
amendment to the Region 8 Plan noting the scarcity of frequencies in 
the New York metropolitan area. We note that his objection is not 
directed against the proposed amendment, but rather the public safety 
National Planning process. We find that our approval of the amendment 
was consistent with Commission authority pursuant to Report and Order, 
in Gen. Docket No. 87-112, 53 FR 1022, January 15, 1988.
    3. Accordingly, we reaffirm our decision of November 28, 1994, that 
the Public Safety Radio Plan for the New York Metropolitan Area (Region 
8) IS AMENDED, as set forth in the Region's letter of July 11, 1994.
    4. For further information, contact Mark Rubin at (202) 418-0680.
