**ORDER**

**Adopted: August 29, 2000 Released: August 30, 2000**

By the Chief, Commercial Wireless Division, Wireless Telecommunications
Bureau:

1\. On March 29, 2000, United States Cellular Operating Company (USCC)
filed an application for review[^1] of a February 28, 2000 Order by the
Wireless Telecommunications Bureau (Bureau) denying USCC's request for
waiver of section 22.942 of the Commission's rules and ordering USCC to
come into compliance with section 22.942 in the Rockford, Illinois
Metropolitan Service Area (MSA).[^2] Because USCC has informed the
Commission that it has come into compliance with section 22.942 as set
forth in the Bureau Order,[^3] we dismiss USCC's application for review
as moot.

2\. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to sections 1, 2, and 4(i)
of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. §§ 151, 152,
154(i), and sections 0.331 and 1.115 of the Commission's rules, 47
C.F.R. §§ 0.331, 1.115, the application for review filed by USCC on
March 29, 2000 IS DISMISSED as moot.
