Petition for Reconsideration of the grant of  Skytel Corporation's ("Skytel") application requesting
a paging facility for Station KNKK978 on the 931.3135 MHz frequency in Scranton,

application.  The Commission cancelled Skytel's application by Public Notice, Report No. NCS-

renders Carrier's Petition for Reconsideration moot.

and 309 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C.  154 (i) and 309, and
Section 1.106 of the Commission's Rules, 47 C.F.R.  1.106, the Petition for Reconsideration
filed by Carrier on December 30, 1994 IS DISMISSED as moot.
