ORDER EXTENDING COMMENT AND REPLY COMMENT PERIOD

Adopted:  October 2, 1995                              Released: October 2, 1995

By the Chief, Private Wireless Division:

 1.  On September 12, 1995 the Commission extended the comment and reply comment
period in the above-captioned proceeding in response to motions filed by the American Public
Transit Association (APTA) and the Land Mobile Communications Council (LMCC).  In that
Order, the comment date was extended from September 15, 1995 to October 16, 1995, and
the reply comment date was extended from October 16, 1995, to November 20, 1995.  This
extension was consistent with the request filed by APTA, but shorter than the LMCC request. 
LMCC has filed a petition for reconsideration requesting that the Commission reconsider its
previously granted extension to further extend the comment period to November 20, 1995,
and the reply comment period to January 5, 1996.

 2.  LMCC states that a further extension of time is warranted in order that the period
for filing comments in this proceeding coincides with the due date of the industry's report on
radio service consolidation.  LMCC states that in order to develop an organized and effective
spectrum allocation plan, consolidation decisions must be made in conjunction with the
decisions in this proceeding.

 3.  Although we have already granted an additional thirty days in this proceeding,
LMCC correctly points out that many of the issues regarding future frequency assignment
policies for the private land mobile radio services are closely related to the issues regarding
the consolidation of radio services.  We therefore grant LMCC's request for reconsideration to
extend the time period for filing comments to and including November 20, 1995, and for
filing reply comments to and including January 5, 1996.  The new comment date coincides
with the due date for the industry's report on radio service consolidation.

 4.  Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that LMCC's request for reconsideration
to extend the deadline for filing comments in this proceeding is GRANTED.

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