                             ORDER 

   Adopted:  November 19, 1999          Released:  November 19, 1999

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

     1.   On April 29, 1993, Central Vermont Communications, Inc. (Central Vermont) filed a
petition for reconsideration (Petition) and a motion for set-aside and deferral (Motion) of the above-
captioned applications of Centrapage of Vermont, Inc. (Centrapage).  For the reasons discussed below,
we deny the Petition and the Motion.

     2.   In January 1993, Centrapage informally requested the Commission to reissue the above-
captioned licenses in order to ascertain the correct expiration dates of the licenses.  For such requests,
standard Commission procedure is to reprint the licenses and send them to the requesting licensee. 
However, in this case, the reissuance was erroneously labeled as a "modification" and was granted in a
Public Notice released on March 30, 1993.  In its Petition, Central Vermont argues that the "grants" were
improper because the acceptance of the "applications" was never placed on public notice, as required by
section 309(b) of the Communications Act.   Because no applications were filed in this instance,
however, the Bureau did not grant Centrapage a modification to its licenses.  Accordingly, Central
Vermont had no basis for filing its pleading in response to the Public Notice released on March 30, 1993. 

     3.   Central Vermont also states in its Petition that Centrapage has no licenses to modify and
that Centrapage is engaged in unauthorized operation of an alarm reporting system and a talk-back
paging system.  The Commission's records indicate, however, that Centrapage currently holds licenses
for the above-captioned stations.  The original applications for the subject licenses were placed on public
notice between 1987 and 1991 and were subsequently granted.  No pleadings were filed against these
applications while they were on public notice.  Regarding Centrapage's operation of an alarm reporting
system and a talk-back paging system, Centrapage is authorized to provide these services pursuant to the
Commission's rules.  We therefore deny Central Vermont's Petition and Motion.

     4.   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 and motion for set-aside
and deferral filed by Central Vermont Communications, Inc. on April 29, 1993, ARE DENIED.
