*Pages 1--3 from Microsoft Word - 9249.doc* PUBLIC NOTICE FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION 445 12th STREET, SW WASHINGTON, DC 20554 DA 01- 1209 May 11, 2001 LOWER AND UPPER PAGING BANDS AUCTION CORRECTION OF LABELING FOR LICENSES IN THE 152 MHz AND 158 MHz LOWER BANDS UNPAIRED PAGING CHANNELS Report No. AUC- 01- 40- D (Auction No. 40) This Public Notice corrects the heading on a table listing licenses available in Auction No. 40. The Auction No. 40 Procedures Public Notice 1 includes tables listing the various licenses available in Auction No. 40. The table on page 3 labeled “152 MHz Lower Bands Unpaired Paging Channels” includes licenses for blocks EA (152.230 - 152. 250 MHz), EB (152.830 – 152.850 MHz), EC (158.090 – 158. 110 MHz), and ED (158. 690 – 158.710 MHz). The heading on that table is corrected to read “152 MHz and 158 MHz Lower Bands Unpaired Paging Channels.” A revised copy of the 152 MHz and 158MHz Lower Bands Unpaired Paging Channels table is provided in Attachment A. This Public Notice also announces changes in the computer interface applicants use when selecting licenses in connection with their FCC Form 175. For Auction No. 40, Form 175 includes a mechanism for applicants to search for licenses by “Service Area.” Originally, licenses included in the 152 MHz and 158 MHz Lower Bands Unpaired Paging Channels table could be found by searching under “152 MHz Unpaired.” For clarity, effective immediately, the Bureau will change the “Service Area” designation for licenses in the 152 MHz and 158 MHz Lower Bands Unpaired Paging Channels from “152 MHz Unpaired” to “152 MHz and 158 MHz Unpaired.” After an applicant searches for licenses, individual licenses are listed with a “bandwidth” designation. Originally, all licenses in the 152 MHz and 158 MHz Lower Bands Unpaired Paging Channels were listed with a “bandwidth” designation of “152.00 MHz.” For clarity, effective immediately, the Bureau will change the “bandwidth” designation for individual licenses in blocks EC and ED from “152.00 MHz” to “158.00 MHz.” The “bandwidth” designation for blocks EA and EB will remain “152.00 MHz.” 1 Public Notice, “Lower and Upper Paging Bands Auction Scheduled for June 26, 2001; Notice and Filing Requirements, Minimum Opening Bids, Upfront Payments and Other Procedural Issues,” DA 01- 850 (rel.
