ORDER OF MODIFICATION
Adopted:  August 17, 2010 Released:  August 18, 2010
By the Deputy Chief, Mobility Division, Wireless Telecommunications Bureau:
I. INTRODUCTION
1. By this Order of Modification, we modify the license of FELHC, Inc. (FELHC) for 
Private Land Mobile Radio (PLMR) Station WPOY909 to add a condition limiting the Effective Radiated 
Power (ERP) in the direction of the border with Canada to 20 watts at the base station location authorized 
under this call sign.  We take this action in furtherance of ensuring compliance with international 
obligations and the Commission’s rules.
II. BACKGROUND
2. FELHC is licensed for PLMR Station WPOY909 in Erie County, Pennsylvania.  Because 
Station WPOY909 operates in the 800 MHz band and is located within 140 kilometers of the border with 
Canada, it is subject to the provisions of the bilateral annex (Arrangement F) with Canada, which 
specifies the conditions under which 800 MHz PLMR stations may operate along the border.1 Under 
Arrangement F, the ERP of stations in the border region is limited based on the height of the transmitting 
antenna.  These power and antenna height limits are also reflected in Section 90.619(c)(2) of the 
Commission’s Rules.2
3. In an Order Proposing Modification (OPM) released May 14, 2010, we proposed to 
reduce the ERP of base station location 1 licensed under Call Sign WPOY909.3 The OPM proposed 
reducing the ERP of this base station location from forty watts to twenty watts ERP on one frequency to 
bring the base station into compliance with the ERP limits of Section 90.619 (c)(2) of the Commission’s 
rules and Arrangement F on the frequency specified in the OPM.4 FELHC was afforded thirty days to

the Use Along the US-Canada Border of the Band 806-890 MHz (Jan. 1994), as modified by attachment to letter 
from Robert W. McCaugern, Deputy Director General, Spectrum Engineering to Mr. Bruce Franca, Deputy Chief 
Engineer, Office of Engineering and Technology, Federal Communications Commission (Dec. 9, 1994).

respond to the OPM.5
4. On June 10, 2010, FELHC filed a response to the OPM stating that base station location 
1, in fact, operates in compliance with Section 90.619(c)(2) and Arrangement F and should not be 
modified.6 Specifically, FELHC states that “the antenna in use has a 5 degree down-tilt, which means 
that the ERP [in the direction of] the border [with Canada] is 20 watts, rather than the 40 watts shown on 
the license.”7  
III. DISCUSSION  
5. Based on the information provided by FELHC regarding the antenna down-tilt deployed 
at its base station, it appears that Station WPOY909 complies with Section 90.619(c)(2) and Arrangement 
F as currently configured.  Consequently, rather than modifying base station location 1 as proposed in the 
OPM, we will add a condition to the license to allow a maximum ERP of forty watts, provided that the 
ERP directed toward the border with Canada does not exceed twenty watts. 
6. ACCORDINGLY, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to Sections 4(i) and 316 of the 
Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. §§ 154(i), 316, and Sections 1.87 and 90.619(c)(2) 
of the Commission's Rules, 47 C.F.R. §§ 1.87, 90.619(c)(2) that the license for Private Land Mobile 
Radio Service Station WPOY909, held by FELHC, Inc, BE MODIFIED by adding a condition to the 
license specifying that the maximum Effective Radiated Power of base station location 1 on frequency 
865.6875 MHz (and replacement frequency 863.8125 MHz) shall be no more than twenty watts in the 
direction of the border with Canada. 
7. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that this Order of Modification shall be sent by certified 
mail, return receipt requested, to FELHC, Inc. Attn FCC License Admin, PO Box 44308, 76 South Main 
Street, Akron, OH 44308.
8. This action is taken under delegated authority pursuant to Sections 0.131 and 0.331 of the 
Commission’s Rules, 47 C.F.R. §§ 0.131, 0.331.
