   FCC SEEKS COMMENTS ON PETITION FOR  DECLARATORY RULING ON
   STREAMLINING THE COMMISSION'S ANTENNA STRUCTURE CLEARANCE
                           PROCEDURE
                                
                         WT Docket 95-5
Comment Date: November 5, 1998          Released: October 8, 1998 
Reply Date: November 16, 1998

     On June 4, 1996, Teletech, Inc. (Teletech) filed with the Chief, Wireless
Telecommunications Bureau, a request for declaratory ruling on the Commission's streamlining of
its antenna structure clearance procedure and revision of the Commission's rules concerning
construction, marking, and lighting of antenna structures, implemented by Report and Order in
WT Docket 95-5, released November 30, 1995.  Teletech requests that the Commission clarify its
antenna structure registration requirements to state:  (1) the acceptable form of measurement; (2)
the accuracy requirement of the survey device; and (3) the accuracy standard to which an antenna
site owner must measure the geodetic latitude and longitude and elevation of an antenna structure. 
Teletech also requests clarification of certain portions of the Report and Order and seeks
guidance on several hypotheticals regarding registration requirements for multiple antennas on
single building sites and in which different parties own buildings and building-mounted antenna
structures or different parties own antenna structures and surmounting antenna structures.

     Interested parties should file comments on this request on or before October 23, 1998, and
reply comments on or before November 2, 1998, with the Secretary, FCC, 1919 M Street, N.W.,
Room 222, Washington, D.C. 20054.  Comments and reply comments should reference WT
Docket No. 95-5.  Additionally, two (2) copies should be sent to Jamison S. Prime, Wireless
Telecommunications Bureau, Public Safety and Private Wireless Division, Policy and Rules
Branch, FCC, Room 8010, 2025 M Street N.W., Washington, D.C. 20054, and one (1) copy
should be sent to the Commission's contractor for public service records duplication: International
Transcription Service, Inc. (ITS), 1231 20th Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20036.

                           -- OVER --
