             ORDER EXTENDING COMMENT AND REPLY COMMENT PERIOD
 
Adopted:  September 12, 1995     Released:  September 13, 1995

By the Chief, Private Wireless Division:

     1.  On September 1, 1995, the American Public Transit Association (APTA) requested
that the time for filing comments in response to the Further Notice of Proposed Rule Making
in the above-captioned proceeding released by the Commission on June 23, 1995, be
extended from September 15, 1995, to October 16, 1995.  Likewise, on September 5, 1995,
the Land Mobile Communications Council (LMCC) filed a Motion For Extension Of Time
until November 20, 1995, to file comments.  LMCC also requested that the time for filing
reply comments be extended from October 16, 1995, to January 5, 1996.

     2.  APTA, which represents approximately 400 American public and private mass
transit systems, states that it needs additional time to submit comments in order to afford its
membership a chance to respond to the Commission's June 15, 1995, action.  LMCC states
that a deadline for filing comments on November 20th is warranted as that date is
coterminous with the due date for the industry's report on its service consolidation efforts. 
LMCC emphasizes that service consolidation decisions must be made in tandem with those
relating to channel exclusivity in order to respond adequately to the Commission's proposals.

     3.  The Commission does not routinely grant extensions of time.  In this instance,
however, it is desirable that the record be as complete as possible and that it include the views
of as large a cross section of the private land mobile radio (PLMR) user community as
possible. We believe an extension of thirty (30) days to be adequate to give the PLMR
community sufficient time to respond to the above-captioned proceeding.  We therefore
extend the period of time for filing comments to and including October 16, 1995, and we
extend the period for filing reply comments to and including November 20, 1995.  The new
reply comment date coincides with the due date for the industry's report on radio service
consolidation.

     4. Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that AMTA's request to extend the
deadline for filing comments in this proceeding is GRANTED and LMCC's Motion For
Extension of Time is GRANTED to the extent indicated herein and otherwise denied. 

     5.  This action is taken pursuant to the authority provided in Section 1.46 of the
Commission's Rules, 47 C.F.R.  1.46.
