## Abstract

In this Order on Reconsideration in WT Docket No. 96-18 and PP Docket No. 93-253, the Commission modifies the First Report and Order in this docket by expanding the number of licensees that can modify their paging systems by adding sites, due to the paging industry's claims that such relief is necessary to allow paging operators to meet customer needs and improve service to the public while this rulemaking is pending. The Commission will allow applications for additional sites by incumbent licensees who had filed paging applications by October 1, 1995, rather than February 8, 1996, thus expanding the potential number of paging licensees that can expand their systems.
