     Adopted:   April 17, 1995                    Released:   April 17, 1995

By the Chief, Wireless Telecommunications Bureau:  

     1.    On March 17, 1995, the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau ("Bureau")
released a public notice announcing its completion of its review of approximately 40,000
applications received between November 8, 1993 and August 10, 1994 for channels in the
SMR, Business, Industrial/Land Transportation, and General Categories.  In the 800 MHz
Application Grants Public Notice, the Bureau also granted more than 4,500 of those
applications.  We have received a Petition for Reconsideration filed on April 13, 1995 by the
American Mobile Telecommunications Association, Inc., the Industrial Telecommunications
Association, Inc., including its Council of Independent Communications Suppliers, and the
Personal Communications Industry Association (collectively, the "Coalition") requesting
reconsideration of the license grants made in the 800 MHz Application Grants Public Notice. 
The Coalition submits that "the public interest would be greatly served, and Bureau resources
conserved, by making slight modifications to the Coalition software used to assist the Bureau
to process backlogged 800 MHz applications, re-processing the applications, and issuing a
revised list of granted licenses."  Section 1.113 of the Commission's rules provides, in
pertinent part, that "[w]ithin 30 days after public notice has been given of any action taken
pursuant to delegated authority, the person, panel, or board taking the action may modify or
set it aside on its own motion."

     2.    Given the significant number of authorizations affected by the 800 MHz
Application Grants Public Notice and the number of licensees that could be potentially
affected if the Commission acted favorably upon the Coalition's request, we conclude that the
public interest would be served by modifying such license grants to be conditional grants
pending the Bureau's disposition of the Coalition's Petition.

     3.    Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, pursuant to Section 1.113 of the
Commission's Rules, 47 CFR  1.113(a), that the license grants made in the 800 MHz
Application Grants Public Notice issued by the Bureau on March 17, 1995 ARE MODIFIED
as described herein.
