SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Commission published a document in the Federal Register of July 20, 2007, (72 FR 39756). That document summarized the Second Memorandum Opinion and Order in WT Docket No. 02-55, adopted on May 24, 2007, and released on May 30, 2007. The Second Memorandum Opinion and Order included inconsistent language regarding the deadline for the submission of the Puerto Rico band plan that the 800 MHz Transition Administrator must file with the Commission. This inconsistency was reflected in the summary of the order published in the Federal Register on July 20, 2007. On July 26, 2007, the Commission published an erratum correcting the inconsistency, and confirming that the deadline for submission of the Puerto Rico band plan is 60 days from the effective date of the Second Memorandum Opinion and Order. Today's document corrects the inconsistency contained in the Federal Register summary of the Second Memorandum Opinion and Order published on July 20, 2007. In rule FR Doc. E7-14099 published on July 20, 2007 (72 FR 39756) make the following correction on page 39758, in the first column paragraph number 8, fifth sentence correct to read as follows:

Accordingly we provide the 800 MHz Transition Administrator (TA) with specific criteria and direct the TA to propose an alternative band plan within 60 days of the effective date of this order, including, if necessary, a pro rata distribution of ESMR spectrum.
