                   ORDER ON RECONSIDERATION  


   Adopted:  October 14, 1999           Released:  October 14, 1999

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

     1.   On October 28, 1998, Electronic Engineering Company (EEC) filed a petition for
reconsideration (Petition) of the dismissal of the captioned application by the Licensing and Technical Analysis
Branch (Branch) of the Commercial Wireless Division.  For the reasons discussed below, we deny the Petition. 
  
      
     2.   In support of its argument that the Branch erroneously dismissed the captioned application,
EEC states that it submitted the application to the Personal Communications Industry Association (PCIA) for
frequency coordination.  A review of the application filed by PCIA on behalf of EEC reveals that the
application was filed without coordination because the proposed sites did not satisfy the separation
requirements of section 90.495(b) of the Commission's rules.  As a result, we find that the Branch properly
dismissed EEC's application to operate on 929.7625 MHz based on its failure to satisfy the frequency
coordination requirement of section 90.175(f) of the Commission's rules.  In addition, the Commission
determined that all applications for paging licenses (other than applications on nationwide and shared channels)
filed after July 31, 1996, would be dismissed.  EEC filed its application on August 8, 1996, well after the July
31, 1996 deadline.  Accordingly, we deny the Petition.

     3.   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 Electronic Engineering
Company on October 28, 1998,  IS DENIED.
