   Adopted:  July 22, 1996                                       Released:  July 22, 1996

By the Chief, Commercial Wireless Division, Wireless Telecommunications Bureau:

     1.  On June 10, 1996, the Coalition for a Competitive Paging Industry (Coalition) filed
an Emergency Request for Waiver of Commission Rule 90.175 or, Alternatively, Request to
Initiate Commission Oversight of PCIA Coordination Fees (Request).  In the Request, the
Coalition requests a waiver of Section 90.175 of the Commission's rules, which requires a
showing of frequency coordination for 929 MHz private carrier paging (PCP) applications. 
On July 12, 1996, the Commission issued a Public Notice requesting comment on the
Request.  Comments are to be filed by July 22, 1996 and reply comments to be filed by July
29, 1996.

     2.  On July 19, 1996, the Coalition requested a seven-day extension of time for the
filing of comments and reply comments.  The Coalition argues that the extension is needed to
enable individual paging companies, including Coalition members, to comment fully on the
Request.  The Coalition notes that while the Public Notice soliciting comments was released
on July 12, many of its members did not learn of the notice until the following week because
it was not listed in the Commission's Daily Digest until July 15, 1996.  

     3.  We conclude that granting a brief extension of time will serve the public interest
by allowing all interested parties, including individual paging companies, to fully comment on
the Coalition Request.  Accordingly, it is ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 1.46 of the
Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 1.46, that the deadline for filing comments in this proceeding
IS EXTENDED from July 22, 1996 to July 29, 1996, and the deadline for filing reply
comments in this proceeding is EXTENDED from July 29, 1996 to August 5, 1996.
