                             ORDER


   Adopted:  November 5, 1999           Released:  November 5, 1999

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

     1.   On May 8, 1996, Pac-West Telecomm, Inc. (Pac-West), an existing licensee on the
931.5375 MHz frequency, filed a petition for reconsideration (Petition) of an April 8, 1996 decision  issued
by the Chief of the Narrowband Branch (Branch), Commercial Wireless Division, Wireless
Telecommunications Bureau.  In that decision, the Branch "returned" Pac-West's March 29, 1996
application for an additional 931.5375 MHz base station at Glamis, California. The Branch stated that
Pac-West's application was being returned in accordance with the Paging Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking, wherein the Commission suspended acceptance of all new applications for paging channels
that were not received by the Commission as of February 8, 1996.  For the reasons discussed below, we
dismiss the Petition as moot.   

     2.   Pac-West's Petition states that it filed the above-captioned application in order to preserve
its rights to obtain consolidated consideration with the mutually exclusive application of Dimitri A. Moss
for an initial, stand-alone transmitter on the 931.5375 MHz frequency at Blythe, CA (File No. 24517-CD-
P/L-96), which was "accepted for filing" by Public Notice on February 28, 1996.  As argued by Pac-West,
the procedures established in the Paging NPRM, while not requiring "acceptance" of Pac-West's
application, did require the Branch to "receive and hold" Pac-West's application rather than return it to
Pac-West.  Accordingly, Pac-West requested that the Commission permit Pac-West's Glamis application
to be restored to pending status nunc pro tunc. 

     3.   Our records reveal that Pac-West's application was reinstated based on the interim paging
procedures established in the First Report and Order, accepted, processed and ultimately dismissed in the
Paging Application Dismissal Order, because the frequency was unavailable.  We therefore dismiss Pac-
West's Petition as moot.  

     4.   Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to sections 4(i) and 405 of the
Communications Act, 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 Pac-West
Telecomm, Inc. on May 8, 1996, IS DISMISSED as moot.
