SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The full text of the Public Notice is as 
follows: By this Public Notice, the Commission announces that the New 
England Area (Region 19) Radio Planning Committee's proposal to amend 
the Region 19 Public Safety Regional Plan is approved. This action 
which revises the current channel allotments for radio frequencies in 
the 821-824/866-869 MHz bands within the New England area, reflects 
changes made as a result of its fourth window application process. In 
accordance with the National Public Safety Plan, each region is 
responsible for the operation and management of the mutual aid 
channels. The Region 19 Plan was originally adopted by the Commission 
on April 26, 1990. The Region 19 Plan was subsequently revised by 
letter on February 28, 1995 and October 30, 1996. On October 30, 1998, 
the Commission issued a Public Notice (Report No. WT 98-37) inviting 
interested parties to file comments regarding a proposed amendment to 
the Region 19 Plan that was filed with the Commission on September 14, 
1998. We have reviewed the Region 19 request. This action is a minor 
change to the Region 19 Plan. Further, we have received no comments in 
response to the Public Notice of October 30, 1998. This action is 
therefore, accepted and approved as submitted. The Secretary's office 
will place the amended Region 19 Plan in the official docket file where 
it will remain available to the public. Questions regarding this public 
notice may be directed to Joy Alford, Wireless Telecommunications 
Bureau (202) 418-0694. The original Region 19 Public Safety Plan, is 
available for inspection and copying during normal business hours in
