By the Chief, Wireless Telecommunications Bureau:

     In paragraph six on page four of the Second Report and Order and Further Notice of
Proposed Rule Making, WT Docket No. 97-82, FCC 97-342 (rel. October 16, 1997), the third
sentence of the section entitled "Disaggregation" contained incorrect statements.  The section is
corrected to read as follows:

       Disaggregation.  Any C block licensee may elect to disaggregate one-half of its
     spectrum (15 MHz of its 30 MHz) and surrender such spectrum to the Commission for
     reauction.  A licensee must disaggregate spectrum for all of the Basic Trading Area
     (BTA) licenses it holds within any Major Trading Area (MTA), but need not disaggregate
     the licenses it holds in other MTAs.  In return, the licensee will have the proportionate
     amount, i.e., 50%, of its outstanding debt on the disaggregated licenses forgiven.  Fifty
     percent of the down payment for those licenses will be applied towards the debt for the
     retained spectrum; the licensee will not get a refund or credit of the other 50% of its
     deposit.  The licensee will be prohibited from rebidding for this spectrum, or otherwise
     acquiring it in the secondary market, for two years from the date of the start of the
     reauction.  C block licensees electing this option will repay over eight equal payments
     (beginning with the payment due on March 31, 1998) all interest that has accrued and
     was unpaid due to the payment suspension, adjusted to reflect the reduction in debt
     obligation.  Any prior installment payments made will be credited in full against those
     amounts.
