Before the Chief, Policy Division, Wireless Telecommunications Bureau:

     I.   INTRODUCTION
1.     In this Order, we grant a request filed by United States Cellular Corporation (USCC) to
withdraw its Application for Review of a Declaratory Ruling by the Chief of the Wireless
Telecommunications Bureau (Bureau) that clarified certain aspects of the Commission's rules governing
the wireless Enhanced 911 (E911) service.  
     II.  discussion
3.     On December 18, 1998, the Bureau released a Declaratory Ruling (California Declaratory
Order) in response to a request from the State of California 911 Program Manager.  The Bureau
clarified certain aspects of the E911 rules that establish the wireless E911 service as set forth by the
Commission in Orders adopted in the E911 rulemaking proceeding.
4.     On January 19, 1999, USCC filed an Application for Review of the California Declaratory
Order.   On January 19, 2000, USCC filed the letter requesting to withdraw the Application for Review,
stating that the issues presented to the Commission are largely moot.  The Bureau has received the
request to withdraw and finds that a grant thereof is warranted.
5.     Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT, pursuant to Sections 4(i) and 5(c) of the
Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C.  154(i), 155(c), and Section 1.115 of the
Commission's Rules, 47 C.F.R.  1.115, and the authority delegated pursuant to Sections 0.131 and
0.331 of the Commission's Rules, 47 C.F.R.  0.131, 0.331, the Request to Withdraw filed by United
