The bureau has made a finding that the proposed towers of the above applications would not
have a
significant impact upon the environment.

These authorizations do not convey to the licensee the right to receive protection from the
capture of
subscriber traffic, co-channel interference or first-adjacent-channel interference in any area
outside of the
authorized Cellular Geographic Service Area (CGSA) of the system.  Moreover, any facility
authorized herein
with a service area boundary (SAB) extending into the CGSA of any other operating cellular
system on the
same channel block, regardless of when such other cellular system was/is authorized, is subject
to the
following condition:  In the event that the licensee of the other cellular system requests that the
SAB of the
facilities authorized herein be removed from its CGSA, the licensee herein must reduce
transmitting power or
antenna height (or both) as necessary to remove the SAB from the CGSA, unless written consent
from the
licensee of the other cellular system, allowing the SAB extension, is obtained.



All of the above applications will be available for public inspection in Room 5608,  2025  M
