 3.  On  June  17,  2005,  NTELOS  filed  a  letter  with  the  Commission  stating  that  it  mistakenly  included  several  rural  wire  centers  in  its  list  of  wire  centers  in  its  request  for  designation  as  an  ETC  in 
 Virginia.  5  NTELOS  further  explained  that  it  is  not  seeking  ETC  designation  in  those  rural  wire  centers.  6 
 4.  Our  Order  specifically  granted  NTELOS  ETC  designation  only  for  non-  rural  wire  centers,  7  but  included  an  Appendix  in  which  NTELOS  inadvertently  included  rural  wire  centers.  We 

 therefore  clarify  our  order  designating  NTELOS  as  an  ETC  to  include  only  the  non-  rural  wire  centers  listed  herein.  8  We  also  note  that  the  Appendix  attached  to  this  Order  replaces  the  Appendix  attached  to 
 our  June  14,  2005  Order.  The  attached  Appendix  provides  the  amended  list  of  wire  centers  for  which  ETC  status  is  granted  and  corrects  three  errors  in  the  remaining  non-  rural  wire  centers.  9 

 5.  Accordingly,  IT  IS  ORDERED  that,  pursuant  to  the  authority  contained  in  section  1.108  of  the  Commission's  rules,  47  C.  F.  R.    1.  108,  we  hereby  reconsider  and  amend,  on  our  own  motion,  our 
 June  14,  2005,  Order  GRANTING  the  petition  for  designation  as  an  eligible  telecommunications  carrier  filed  by  Virginia  PCS  Alliance,  L.  C.  and  Richmond  20  MHz,  LLC  (d/  b/  a  NTELOS),  on  November  10, 
 2003,  as  explained  herein. 
 6.  IT  IS  FURTHER  ORDERED  that,  pursuant  to  the  authority  contained  in  section  214(  e)(  6)  of  the  Communications  Act,  47  U.  S.  C.    214(  e)(  6),  and  the  authority  delegated  in  sections  0.91 

 and  0.291  of  the  Commissions  Rules,  47  C.  F.  R.    0.91,  0.291,  Virginia  PCS  Alliance,  L.  C.  and  Richmond  20  MHz,  LLC  (d/  b/  a  NTELOS)  IS  DESIGNATED  AN  ELIGIBLE 
 TELECOMMUNICATIONS  CARRIER  throughout  its  licensed  non-  rural  service  areas  in  the  state  of  Virginia  to  the  extent  described  herein. 

 7.  IT  IS  FURTHER  ORDERED  that  Virginia  PCS  Alliance,  L.  C.  and  Richmond  20  MHz,  LLC  (d/  b/  a  NTELOS)  will  submit  additional  information  in  support  of  its  ETC  status,  consistent  with  the 
 ETC  Designation  Order,  with  its  annual  certification  filing  on  October  1,  2006. 
 8.  IT  IS  FURTHER  ORDERED  that  that  a  copy  of  this  Order  SHALL  BE  transmitted  by  the  Wireline  Competition  Bureau  to  the  Virginia  State  Corporation  Commission  and  the  Universal 

 Service  Administrative  Company.
