 ERRATA 
 Adopted:  February  28,  2000  Released:  March  1,  2000 
 By  the  Chief,  Policy  Division,  Wireless  Telecommunications  Bureau: 


 1.  On  January  7,  2000,  the  Commission  issued  the  First  Report  and  Order  in  the  above-referenced  proceeding.  1  Both  in  the  text  of  the  Order  2  and  in  Section  27.13(  b)  of  the  Commission’s 
 implementing  regulation,  the  specific  date  as  of  which  a  license  issued  for  the  747-  762  MHz  and  777-  792  MHz  bands  will  terminate  was  erroneously  identified  as  January  1,  2014.  The  correct  date  is  January  1, 
 2015,  as  reflected  in  the  text  of  the  Order.  3  The  Order  states  that  the  license  term  will  end  eight  years  beyond  the  date  as  of  which  incumbent  broadcasters  are  required  to  have  relocated  to  other  portions  of  the 
 spectrum,  i.  e.,  December  31,  2006.  The  heading  and  spectrum  references  in  Section  27.13(  b)  are  also  corrected  to  conform  to  the  text  of  the  Order  4  by  amending  the  reference  “746-  764  MHz  and  776-  794 
 MHz  bands”  to  “747-  762  MHz  and  777-  792  MHz  bands.”  Section  27.13(  b),  as  corrected,  reads  as  follows: 


 (b)  747-  762  MHz  and  777-  792  MHz  bands.  Initial  authorizations  for  the  747-  762  MHz  and  777-  792  MHz  bands,  will  extend  until  January  1,  2015,  except  that  a  Part  27  licensee  commencing 
 broadcast  services  will  be  required  to  seek  renewal  of  its  license  for  such  services  at  the  termination  of  the  eight-  year  term  following  commencement  of  such  operations. 


 2.  In  Section  27.66(  b)  of  the  Commission’s  regulations,  the  date  as  of  which  a  fixed  service  common  carrier’s  application  for  voluntary  discontinuance,  reduction  or  impairment  of  service  will  be 
 automatically  granted,  absent  opposition,  is  amended  from  “30”  to  “31”  days  to  conform  to  the  text  of  the 
 1  Service  Rules  for  the  746-  764  and  776-  794  MHz  Bands,  and  Revisions  to  Part  27  of  the  Commission’s  Rules, 
 WT  Docket  No.  99-  168,  First  Report  and  Order,  FCC  00-  5  (rel.  Jan.  7,  2000)  (Order).

 (b)  Voluntary  act  by  common  carrier.  If  a  fixed  common  carrier  licensee  voluntarily  discontinues,  reduces,  or  impairs  service  to  a  community  or  part  of  a  community,  it  must  obtain 
 prior  authorization  as  provided  under  §  63.71  of  this  chapter.  An  application  will  be  granted  within  31  days  after  filing  if  no  objections  have  been  received.
