revised to read:

          In addition, potential bidders seeking licenses for geographic areas that are
     near the Canadian border should be aware of agreements between the United
     States and Canada that affect the assignment and use of VHF frequencies in certain
     parts of maritime and inland border VPCs.  Potential bidders are solely
     responsible for investigating and evaluating the degree to which these matters may
     affect spectrum availability in areas where they seek maritime or inland border
     VPC licenses.
     
     4.        Footnotes 8 through 36 of the September 4, 1998 Public Notice are redesignated
as footnotes 10 through 38.

1998 Public Notice.  This chart provides information on upfront payments and minimum opening
bids for each of the 42 VHF Public Coast Service geographic area licenses to be auctioned.
