                             ORDER


   Adopted:  May 10, 1999               Released:  May 10, 1999 

By the Chief, Policy and Rules Branch, Commercial Wireless Division, Wireless Telecommunications
Bureau:

     1.  On August 15, 1994, Mackinac Cellular Corp. (Mackinac) filed an application for a major
modification of the facilities of the cellular radio station on Frequency Block A in the Michigan 2 - Alger
Rural Service Area, Market 473A (MI-2 RSA).  On October 7, 1994, RFB Cellular, Inc. (RFB), licensee
of the adjacent Michigan 4 - Cheboygan RSA (MI-4 RSA), filed comments seeking either clarification or
dismissal of the application.  On June 2, 1995, the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau granted the
assignment of the authorization for MI-2 RSA from Mackinac to RFB.  On August 25, 1995, RFB filed a
request that Mackinac remove its service area boundary (SAB) extensions from the cellular geographic
service area (CGSA) of RFB's MI- 4 RSA cellular system.  

     2.  On March 23, 1998, RFB requested that the Commission allow the withdrawal of RFB's
comments and that the Commission dismiss Mackinac's major modification application as moot.  RFB
maintains that as a result of the June 2, 1995 assignment of MI-2 RSA, RFB is now the licensee of that
market.  In addition, on September 24, 1998, RFB informed the Commission by letter that, because RFB is
the owner of both cellular systems, no action of the Commission is requested.  Accordingly, we grant RFB's
request to withdraw its comments, dismiss Mackinac's application as moot, and dismiss RFB's August 25,
1995 Request as moot.

     3.  Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to section 4(i) of the Communications Act, as
amended, 47 U.S.C  154(i), and sections 22.128(a) and 0.331 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 
22.128(a), 0.331, the Application for Major Modification of the Facilities of Station KNKN858, filed by
Mackinac Cellular Corp., IS DISMISSED AS MOOT.

     4.  IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that, pursuant to section 4(i) of the Communications Act, as
amended, 47 U.S.C  154(i), and sections 22.128(a) and 0.331 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 
22.128(a), 0.331, the Request for Order to Remove SAB Extension, filed by RFB Cellular, Inc. on August
25, 1998, IS DISMISSED AS MOOT.

     5.  IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that, pursuant to section 4(i) of the Communications Act, as
amended, 47 U.S.C  154(i), and section 0.331 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R.  0.331, RFB Cellular,
Inc.'s request to withdraw its Comments on Mackinac Cellular Corp.'s Application for Major Modification
of the Facilities of Station KNKN858 IS GRANTED.
