                             ORDER


   Adopted:  August 27, 1999            Released:  August 27, 1999

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

     1.   This Order grants a petition (Petition) filed by USA Mobile Communications, Inc. II (USA
Mobile), the predecessor-in-interest to Arch Paging, Inc., seeking reconsideration of an action taken by the
Commercial Wireless Division's Narrowband Branch.  

     2.   On November 16, 1993, USA Mobile filed an application seeking to add an additional antenna
location on frequency 152.09 MHz to its station KWB402 in Maysville, Kentucky (Maysville application). 
On December 17, 1993, USA Mobile filed an application seeking to add an additional antenna location on
frequency 931.4875 MHz to its station KNKO525 in Lexington, Kentucky (Lexington application).  On March
30, 1994, the Commission announced that USA Mobile's Maysville application was amended by the filing of
its Lexington application, and that the Lexington application would be substituted for the Maysville
application, in accordance with section 22.525(e) of the Commission's rules.  

     3.   On April 29, 1994, USA Mobile filed the instant Petition, seeking reconsideration of this
action and reinstatement of both applications to their original status.  In response to the Petition, the
Narrowband Branch reinstated both applications to their original status and subsequently granted them. The
Narrowband Branch determined that, in accordance with section 22.16(e) of the Commission's rules, the
Maysville application qualifies as a "fill-in", because the reliable service area contour of the transmitter is at
least 50% encompassed by the reliable service area contour of a USA Mobile facility operating on the same
frequency at Russellville, Ohio.  

     4.   Although these applications were granted, the Petition was not formally granted.  Because the
Petition technically remains pending, we formally grant the Petition by this Order.  

     5.   Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, that, pursuant to authority delegated by Sections 4(i) and 405
of the Communications Act, as amended, 47 U.S.C  154(i), 405, and by Sections 0.331 and 1.106 of the
Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R  0.331, 1.106, the petition for reconsideration, filed by USA Mobile on April
29, 1994, IS GRANTED.
