    1. Dismissal of Petitions for Reconsideration. Further, the FCC 
also seek comment on issues raised by two Petitions for Reconsideration 
or Clarification of the Allocation Report and Order. PanAmSat sought 
reconsideration of the FCC's decision that prior coordination between 
DSRC operations applications and Fixed Satellite Service (FSS) uplinks 
is unnecessary. Mark IV Industries sought reconsideration or 
clarification of the power levels and emission mask requirements 
established in the Allocation Report and Order. The FCC dismisses these 
two petitions for reconsideration as moot because the FCC is seeking 
comment on the issues raised through an NPRM which published on January 
15, 2003 (68 FR 1999), and, with the benefit of a fuller record, will 
address those issues in this proceeding, i.e., WT Docket 01-90.
