                             ORDER


   Adopted:  November 9, 1999           Released:  November 9, 1999

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

     1.   In this Order, we dismiss two Petitions for Correction filed by Preferred Communication
Systems, Inc. (Preferred).  On November 9, 1998, Preferred filed a Petition for Correction of an October 9,
1998 list of licensees who were granted an extension of time in which to construct pursuant to the
Goodman/Chan Reconsideration Order.  On November 18, 1998, Preferred filed a Petition for Correction
of the Commission's land mobile radio database to reinstate certain 800 MHz SMR call signs.

     2.   In the Goodman/Chan Order and the Goodman/Chan Reconsideration Order, the
Commission implemented procedures to grant four-month construction period extensions to the approximately
4,000 so-called "Goodman/Chan" licensees who had obtained General Category SMR licenses through four
application processing companies that were placed in receivership in a federal court fraud action, and who were
the subject of a waiver petition filed with the Commission by the Receiver in that action.  In the
Goodman/Chan Reconsideration Order, the Commission also addressed requests for extension by
approximately 2125 additional General Category SMR licensees who sought extension of their construction
periods on grounds similar to those advanced by the Receiver.  In addressing these "non-Goodman/Chan"
extension requests, the Commission concluded that only those licensees who had (1) received initial
construction periods of eight months and (2) filed timely extension requests prior to the expiration of their eight-
month construction periods should receive the same four-month extension granted to the Goodman/Chan
licensees.  On October 9, 1998, the Commercial Wireless Division granted a Freedom of Information Act
request to release a list of the non-Goodman/Chan 800 MHz General Category licensees who met these
requirements and were granted an extension of time in which to construct pursuant to the Goodman/Chan
Reconsideration Order.

     3.   As stated above, the Goodman/Chan Reconsideration Order limited relief to those licensees
who filed timely written extension requests.  Preferred does not claim that any of the licensees identified in its
Petitions were improperly excluded from the October 9 List because they in fact filed timely requests. 
Therefore, no basis exists to reconsider the exclusion of these licensees from the list.  To the extent that the
Petitions assert claims that relief should be extended to licensees who were not afforded relief by the
Goodman/Chan Reconsideration Order because they did not file timely requests, or did not file any request,
the Petitions merely reassert arguments that Preferred has previously made in its petition for reconsideration
of that order.  The Commission has addressed these arguments in its dismissal of Preferred's reconsideration
petition, and they provide no basis for additional relief here.

     4.   Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to section 4(i) of the Communications Act, as
amended, 47 U.S.C.  154(i), and section 0.331 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R.  0.331, the Petition for
Correction of an October 9, 1998 list of licensees filed on November 9, 1998, and a Petition for Correction of
the Commission's land mobile radio database filed on November 18, 1998, ARE HEREBY DISMISSED.
