## Abstract

The Federal Communications Commission ("Commission") answers petitions for reconsideration and/or clarification concerning various aspects of the Third Report and Order previously issued in this proceeding. The Commission grants one petition to the extent to clarify that a licensee who achieved exclusivity prior to the adoption of the Second Report and Order previously issued in this proceeding did not lose its exclusivity as a result of failing to maintain the previously- required minimum number of transmitters after the adoption of the Second Report and Order. The Commission also denies a petition requesting that an additional tier of small businesses eligible for an auctions bidding credit be established or, in the alternative, that the current gross revenues threshold to qualify for a 25 percent bidding credit be raised. Further, the Commission denies a petition requesting that it amend its rules either to eliminate the ability of paging licensees to partition along the "boundaries of an FCC-recognized service area" or to specify that the use of Major Trading Area or Basic Trading Area listings is not permitted for partitioning.
