SECOND ERRATUM
                      
           Released:  November 8, 1995

     1.  This Erratum corrects Section 90.665(c) of the Final Rules, set forth in Appendix
A of  the Second Order on Reconsideration and Seventh Report and Order in the above-
captioned proceeding, FCC 95-395 (rel. Sept. 14, 1995).  This correction is necessary to
clarify that the Commission adopted two distinct options to satisfy construction requirements
for MTA licensees in the 900 MHz Specialized Mobile Radio Service.  Under the first
option, the MTA licensee must demonstrate coverage of 1/3 of the MTA's population three
years from the date of license grant, and demonstrate 2/3 coverage of the MTA's population
five years after license grant.  The second option requires an MTA licensee to demonstrate
five years after license grant that it is providing substantial service to the MTA.  To
implement Section 90.655(c), an MTA licensee must, three years from license grant, either
submit a showing that the 1/3 population coverage standard has been satisfied, or provide
written notification that it has elected to show substantial service to the MTA five years from
license grant.  In addition, as part of the election to provide a substantial service showing,
each MTA licensee must, three years from license grant, indicate how it expects to
demonstrate substantial service at five years.  Corrected Section 90.665(c) of the
Commission's Rules, 47 C.F.R.  90.665(c) should read as follows:







 90.665 Authorization, construction and implementation of MTA licenses.

* * * * *
  (c)  Each MTA licensee in the 896-901/935-940 MHz band must, three years from the date
of license grant, construct and place into operation a sufficient number of base stations to
provide coverage to at least one-third of the population of the MTA; further, each MTA
licensee must provide coverage to at least two-thirds of the population of the MTA five years
from the date of license grant. The MTA licensee must meet the population coverage
benchmarks regardless of the extent to which incumbent licensees are present within the
MTA block.  Alternatively, an MTA licensee must demonstrate, through a showing to the
Commission five years from the date of license grant, that it is providing substantial service.
