On December 22, 2004, the Commission released a Supplemental Order and Order on Reconsideration (Order) in the above- captioned proceeding. 1 This Erratum corrects the following errors or omissions in the Order. 2. In footnote 140 we correct an erroneous reference to Business/ Industrial Land Transportation (B/ ILT) frequency coordinators. Footnote 140 should read as follows: 1 See Improving Public Safety Communications in the 800 MHz Band, WT Docket 02- 55, Supplemental Order and Order on Reconsideration, FCC 04- 294, (Dec. 22, 2004). 1 Federal Communications Commission 2 140 See 47 C. F. R. § 90.175. We clarify that only recognized Part 90 800 MHz public safety coordinators can coordinate frequencies in this pool. 3. In Appendix A, we resolve a conflict between the rule change adopted to Section 90.685( b) 2 in the Order and a rule change adopted to Section 90.685( b) in the Commission’s Rural Services proceeding 3 by changing the third sentence of said rule to conform to the changes adopted in the Rural Services proceeding. The third sentence is corrected to state that “EA- based licensees may, in the alternative, provide substantial service to their markets within five years of the grant of their initial license.” Section 90.685( b) should read as follows: § 90.685 Authorization, construction and implementation of EA licenses. (b) EA licensees in the 809– 824/ 854– 869 MHz band must, within three years of the grant of their initial license, construct and place into operation a sufficient number of base stations to provide coverage to at least one- third of the population of its EA- based service area. Further, each EA licensee must provide coverage to at least two- thirds of the population of the EA- based service area within five years of the grant of their initial license. EA- based licensees may, in the alternative, provide substantial service to their markets within five years of the grant of their initial license. Substantial service shall be defined as: “Service which is sound, favorable, and substantially above a level of mediocre service.” 4. These errors or omissions will be corrected prior to publication of the Supplemental Order and Order on Reconsideration, WT Docket 02- 55, FCC 04- 294, in the Federal Register and the FCC Record. 2 47 C.
