## Abstract

In this document, the Federal Communications Commissions (FCC) modifies existing narrowband Personal Communications Services (PCS) rules in three ways. With this document, the FCC channelizes and licenses the one megahertz of narrowband PCS spectrum heretofore held in reserve, re-channelizes 712.5 kilohertz of previously channelized spectrum for which licenses have not been auctioned, and adopts a narrowband PCS channel band plan that includes both nationwide and Major Trading Areas (MTA) licenses. The document also addresses the petitions for reconsideration filed responding to the Narrowband PCS Second Report and Order/Second Further Notice. These actions resolve remaining issues to prepare for future license auctions, of the remaining narrowband PCS spectrum.
