NORTHERN CALIFORNIA AREA (REGION 6) REVIEW AND REVISION COMMITTEE
             RECEIVES APPROVAL FOR MINOR AMENDMENT 
              TO ITS REGIONAL PUBLIC SAFETY PLAN 

                     (GEN. DOCKET NO. 90-287)

     
By this notice, the minor amendment to the Region 6 Public Safety Radio Plan (Region 6 Plan)
for use of radio frequencies in the 821-824/866-869 MHz bands within the Northern California
area is approved. The amendment identifies specific users within certain counties to which
existing channel allotments had been made.  The amendment also includes certain provisions to
formalize the administrative process through which the Review and Revision Committee has
been operating.

On February 26, 1997, we received a letter dated February 19, 1997 from Region 6 (Northern
California) proposing to amend the Region 6 Plan, which was adopted by the Commission on
May 29, 1990, General Docket No. 90-287, 5 FCC Rcd 3449 (1990), and subsequently revised
on November 20, 1990, 5 FCC Rcd 7123 (1990), July 22, 1992, 7 FCC Rcd 4908 (1992), and
October 17, 1994, 9 FCC Rcd 6128 (1994).  In accordance with the Public Safety National Plan,
each region is responsible for planning its use of public safety radio frequency spectrum in the
821-824/866-869 MHz bands.  Report and Order, General Docket No. 87-112, 3 FCC Rcd 905
(1987).  

We have reviewed the Region 6 request, and find that the amendment furthers this goal.  The
amendment is considered a minor amendment and no further concurrences are needed. 
Therefore, the amendment is accepted as submitted.  The Secretary's office will place the
amended Region 6 Plan in the official docket file where it is available to the public.

Questions regarding this public notice may be directed to Joy Alford, Wireless
Telecommunications Bureau (202) 418-0680.
