             COMMERCIAL WIRELESS DIVISION DISMISSES
                     APPLICATION FOR REVIEW
                                
     On June 19, 1997, Southern Company filed an Application for Review of an order by the Wireless
Telecommunications Bureau (Bureau) regarding the rejustification of extended implementation construction
schedules for incumbent wide-area 800 MHz Specialized Mobile Radio (SMR) licenses. On November 12,
1999, Southern Company asked to withdraw its Application for Review because the issues raised in that
pleading have been mooted by the decision of the United States Court of Appeals in the District of
Columbia in Fresno Mobile Radio, Inc., et al. v. Federal Communications Commission, and the
proceeding the Bureau initiated on remand.  The Commercial Wireless Division has reviewed the pleadings
and hereby approves the withdrawal of the Application for Review in accordance with sections 0.331 and
1.115 of the Commission's rules. 

Action by Deputy Chief, Commercial Wireless Division, Wireless Telecommunications Bureau.
