   Adopted:  November 3, 1999           Released:  November 3, 1999

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

     1.   On September 25, 1998, Ameritech Mobile Services, Inc. (AMSI) filed a petition for
reconsideration (Petition) of an action taken by the Commercial Wireless Division's Licensing and
Technical Analysis Branch (Branch).  For the reasons discussed below, we grant the Petition.

     2.   On June 10, 1998, AMSI filed an FCC Form 489 (Notification of Commencement of
Service or of Additional or Modified Facilities), notifying the Commission of the relocation of the 152.24
MHz base station of paging and radiotelephone service station WRV249 to a new site at Cadillac,
Michigan.  On August 17, 1998, the Branch dismissed the FCC Form 489 for an insufficient filing fee,
stating that AMSI should have submitted a filing fee in the amount of $280.00, rather than the $45.00
which was submitted.  In its Petition, AMSI argues that this action contravenes section 1.1116(b) of the
Commission's rules, which provides that "filings accompanied by insufficient fees . . . will be billed for the
amount due if the discrepancy is not discovered until after 30 calendar days from the receipt of the . . .
filing at the Commission."  Because the discrepancy in AMSI's FCC Form 489 filing fee was not
discovered until more than 30 days after the original filing date, we hereby grant the Petition and accept
AMSI's FCC Form 489 notification as of the original filing date of June 10, 1998.  We will, however, bill
AMSI for the discrepancy based on the fees in effect at the time the FCC Form 489 was filed.





     3.   Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to sections 4(i) and 405 of the
Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C.  154(i), 405, and 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 Ameritech Mobile
Services, Inc. on September 25, 1998, IS GRANTED in part as specified herein.
