   Adopted:  September 17, 1999         Released:  September 17, 1999

By the Chief, Public Safety and Private Wireless Division, Wireless Telecommunications Bureau:

     1.  In this Order, we grant a request filed by Plaincom, Inc. (Plaincom) to withdraw its application
for partial review of a decision by the Public Safety and Private Wireless Division (Division) denying in
part a petition for reconsideration related to a Plaincom application to operate systems in the 38.6 to 40.0
GHz (39 GHz) band in the area of West Palm Beach-Boca Raton, FL.  

     2.  By way of background, On March 22, 1995, Ronna L. Sauro (Sauro) applied for a 39 GHz
station authorization on Channels 7-A and 8-A in the Point-to-Point Microwave Service in the area of Fort
Myers, FL.  On July 25, 1995, Plaincom filed the above-captioned competing application requesting
Channels 8-A and 8-B.  On August 20, 1997, the Licensing and Technical Analysis Branch (Branch)
dismissed Plaincom's application as untimely filed in accordance with former Sections 101.35 and 101.45
of the Commissions Rules.  On October 2, 1997, Plaincom filed a petition for reconsideration of the
Branch's dismissal of its application.  On June 22, 1999, the Division denied Plaincom's petition to
reinstate its application as to the Channel 8-A portion, but granted the petition in relation to the Channel 8-
B portion.  On July 22, 1999, Plaincom filed an application for partial review seeking a reversal of the Division's decision to deny the portion of Plaincom's petition requesting
reinstatement of its application as to Channel 8-A.

     3.  On September 15, 1999, Plaincom filed a request to withdraw the above-referenced application
for review.  The Division has received Plaincom's request to withdraw and finds that grant thereof is
warranted.

     4.  Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT pursuant to Sections 4(i) and 5(c) of the
Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C.  154(i), 155(c), and Section 1.115 of the
Commission's Rules, 47 C.F.R.  1.115, the Request to Withdraw filed by Plaincom, Inc., on September
15, 1999, IS GRANTED.

     5.  This action is taken under delegated authority pursuant to Sections 0.131 and 0.331 of the
Commission's Rules, 47 C.F.R.  1.131, 0.331.
