                   ORDER ON RECONSIDERATION  


   Adopted:  September 27, 1999         Released:  September 28, 1999

By the Deputy Chief, Commercial Wireless Division, Wireless Telecommunications Bureau:  

     1.   On January 13, 1999, Morris Communications, Inc. (Morris) filed a petition for
reconsideration (Petition) of the Commercial Wireless Division's (Division) decision to dismiss the captioned
paging applications.  For the reasons discussed below, we grant the Petition in part, and deny the Petition
in part.    
      
     2.   In its Petition, Morris states that the interference contours of the captioned applications are
completely encompassed within the interference contours of Morris' previously authorized and operating
transmitters.  We agree in part.  Upon review, we find that the following stations would be located within
the interference contours of Morris' previously authorized and operating transmitters:  

     File Number D049866:     
          Lewisburg, TN: Latitude 35-07-37 N; Longitude 086-45-56 W.
          Tullahoma, TN: Latitude 35-13-24 N; Longitude 087-01-47 W.

          Andrews, SC:        Latitude 33-25-56 N; Longitude 079-37-52 W.

Accordingly, we grant the Petition with respect to these stations and reinstate the applications for processing
and review.

     3.   We find, however, that the following stations would not be contained within the interference
contours of Morris' previously authorized and operating transmitters:  

     File Number D049867:
          Sandersville, GA:   Latitude 33-03-39 N; Longitude 082-47-07 W.
          Griffin, GA:        Latitude 33-20-43 N; Longitude 084-18-00 W.

     File Number D049876:
          Gilreath, NC:       Latitude 36-02-48 N; Longitude 081-09-47 W.

     File Number D058714:
          Easley, SC:         Latitude 34-49-45 N; Longitude 082-48-10 W.

We therefore deny the Petition with respect to these stations.


     4.   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

Communications, Inc. IS GRANTED IN PART AND DENIED IN PART.
