Report No. WT  99-3            WIRELESS TELECOM ACTION             February 8, 1999

  THE NEW ENGLAND AREA (REGION 19) PUBLIC SAFETY PLAN RECEIVES
   APPROVAL FOR MINOR AMENDMENTS TO ITS PUBLIC SAFETY PLAN  
                   (GENERAL DOCKET NO. 90-53)


     By this Public Notice, the Commission announces that the New England Area (Region 19)
Radio Planning Committee's proposal to amend the Region 19 Public Safety Regional Plan is
approved.  The amendment, which revises the current channel allotments for radio frequencies in the
821-824/866-869 MHz bands within the New England area, reflects changes made as a result of its
fourth window application process.  In accordance with the National Public Safety Plan, each region
is responsible for planning its use of public safety radio frequency spectrum in the 821-824/866-869
MHz bands.  The Region 19 Plan was originally adopted by the Commission on April 26, 1990. 
The Region 19 Plan was subsequently revised by letter on February 28, 1995 and October 30, 1996. 

     On October 30, 1998, the Commission issued a Public Notice (Report No. WT 98-37) inviting
interested parties to file comments regarding a proposed amendment to the Region 19 Plan that was
filed with the Commission on September 14, 1998.  We have reviewed the Region 19 request.  The
amendment is a minor change to the Region 19 Plan.  Further, we have received no comments in
response to the Public Notice of October 30, 1998, referenced above.  The amendment, is therefore,
accepted and approved as submitted.  The Secretary's office will place the amended Region 19 Plan
in the official docket file where it will remain available to the public.

     Questions regarding this public notice may be directed to Joy Alford, Wireless
Telecommunications Bureau (202) 418-0694.
