                             ERRATUM

   Adopted:  January 30, 1997           Released:  January 30, 1997

By the Chief, Commercial Wireless Division

     1.  This erratum amends the Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
in the above-captioned proceeding as follows:

     (a)  Amend paragraph 24, fourth sentence by changing the word "seconds" to
     "degrees."  The amended sentence should read as follows:  "The partitioned service
     area must be defined by coordinate points at every 3 degrees along the partitioned
     service area agreed to by both parties, unless (1) an FCC-recognized service area is
     utilized (i.e., Major Trading Area, Basic Trading Area, Metropolitan Service Area,
     Rural Service or Economic Area) or (2) county lines are followed." 

     (b)  Amend footnote 82 by changing the word "second" to "degree."  The footnote
     should read as follows:  "For example, if a licensee desires to partition its license
     only for the service area needed by a rural telephone company, it will simply provide
     coordinate data points at each 3 degree point extending from the center of the service
     area (i.e., at the 3 degree, 6 degree, 9 degree, 12 degree, etc. azimuth points with
     respect to true north). 

     (c)  Amend Section 24.714(b)(1) of the rules, second sentence, as set forth in
     Appendix B, by changing the word "seconds" to "degrees."   The amended sentence
     should read as follows:  "The partitioned service area must be defined by coordinate
     points at every 3 degrees along the partitioned service area agreed to by both parties,
     unless (1) an FCC-recognized service area is utilized (i.e., Major Trading Area, Basic
     Trading Area, Metropolitan Service Area, Rural Service or Economic Area) or (2)
     county lines are followed."
