SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

The Commission inadvertently included typographical errors in certain final rules published in the Federal Register dated August 23, 1999, (64 FR 45891). This correction amends those typographical errors. This correction also amends Sec. 101.56(i) to comport with the Commission's decision in the Memorandum Opinion and Order to allow 39 GHz licensees that obtain a bidding credit at auction to subsequently partition or disaggregate subject to the Commission's unjust enrichment rules, the substance of which was not reflected in the final regulations.
