AMENDMENT TO THE COMMISSION'S RULES
REGARDING A PLAN FOR SHARING THE COSTS OF

for sharing the costs of relocating microwave facilities
currently operating in the 1850 to 1990 MHz ("2 GHz")
band, which has been allocated for use by broadband PCS;
sought comment on a number of issues; ruled to continue
accepting microwave applications for primary status in the
2 GHz band but to process only minor modifications that
would not add to the relocation costs of PCS licensees.
