**LOWER AND UPPER PAGING BANDS AUCTION**

### CORRECTION OF LABELING FOR LICENSES IN THE 152 MHz AND 158 MHz LOWER BANDS UNPAIRED PAGING CHANNELS 

Report No. AUC-01-40-D (Auction No. 40)

This Public Notice corrects the heading on a table listing licenses
available in Auction No. 40. The *Auction No.40 Procedures Public
Notice*[^1] includes tables listing the various licenses available in
Auction No. 40. The table on page 3 labeled "152 MHz Lower Bands
Unpaired Paging Channels" includes licenses for blocks EA (152.230 -
152.250 MHz), EB (152.830 -- 152.850 MHz), EC (158.090 -- 158.110 MHz),
and ED (158.690 -- 158.710 MHz). The heading on that table is corrected
to read "152 MHz and 158 MHz Lower Bands Unpaired Paging Channels." A
revised copy of the 152 MHz and 158MHz Lower Bands Unpaired Paging
Channels table is provided in Attachment A.

This Public Notice also announces changes in the computer interface
applicants use when selecting licenses in connection with their FCC Form
175. For Auction No. 40, Form 175 includes a mechanism for applicants to
search for licenses by "Service Area." Originally, licenses included in
the 152 MHz and 158 MHz Lower Bands Unpaired Paging Channels table could
be found by searching under "152 MHz Unpaired." For clarity, effective
immediately, the Bureau will change the "Service Area" designation for
licenses in the 152 MHz and 158 MHz Lower Bands Unpaired Paging Channels
from "152 MHz Unpaired" to "152 MHz and 158 MHz Unpaired."

After an applicant searches for licenses, individual licenses are listed
with a "bandwidth" designation. Originally, all licenses in the 152 MHz
and 158 MHz Lower Bands Unpaired Paging Channels were listed with a
"bandwidth" designation of "152.00 MHz." For clarity, effective
immediately, the Bureau will change the "bandwidth" designation for
individual licenses in blocks EC and ED from "152.00 MHz" to "158.00
MHz." The "bandwidth" designation for blocks EA and EB will remain
"152.00 MHz."

The above changes do not change in any manner the licenses available in
Auction No. 40 or listed in the *Auction No. 40 Procedures Public
Notice*.
