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

     1.  On September 15, 1995, TSR Paging, Inc. (TPI) filed a petition to dismiss or deny (Petition) the
application of Stephen F. Johnston, Sr. (Johnston), the predecessor-in-interest of Clear Paging, Inc.  An
opposition to the petition was filed by Johnston on September 28, 1995, and a reply to the opposition was
filed by TPI on October 11, 1995.    For the reason discussed below, we grant the Petition and dismiss the
application.

     2.  In his license application, Johnston seeks additional paging and radiotelephone service facilities
to operate on 931.6125 MHz in New Orleans, Louisiana.  TPI contends that the proposed facilities would 
result in harmful electrical interference to TPI's facilities.  The Policy and Rules Branch of the Commercial
Wireless Division has reviewed the Petition and agrees that grant of Johnston's application would result in
interference in violation of Sections 22.537(e) and (f) of the Commission's rules.  Thus, we hereby grant
the Petition and dismiss the above-captioned application.  

     3.  Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, that, pursuant to authority delegated by Sections 4(i) and 309(d)
of the Communications Act, as amended, 47 U.S.C  154(i), 309(d), and by Sections 0.331 and 22.130 of
the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R  0.331, 22.130, the petition to dismiss or deny filed by TSR Paging, Inc.
on September 15, 1995 IS GRANTED.

     4.  IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that, pursuant to authority delegated by Section 4(i) of the
Communications Act, as amended, 47 U.S.C.  154(i), and by Sections 0.331 and 22.128(e)(2) of the
Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R.  0.331 and 22.128(e)(2) , the above-captioned application of Stephen F.
Johnston, Sr. IS DISMISSED.
