The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has received 53 applications to participate in the Regional Narrowband Personal Communication Service (PCS) license auction beginning October 26, 1994, at the Postal Square Building, Washington, D.C.

Unless otherwise directed by the FCC, those applications which are ACCEPTABLE FOR FILING need no further action with respect to their applications before auction day except to submit their upfront payments and to keep their applications up to date. See Section 1.65, 47 C.F.R., Part 1 of the FCC Rules. These applicants are identified in Attachment A to this Public Notice. Those applications in the INCOMPLETE category are identified in Attachment B; these applications must be amended or supplemented to correct minor deficiencies indicated in the Block Number corresponding to block in their Form 175 applications that is unacceptable. (The Block Numbers are further defined in the legend included with the attachment.)
