15528 Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 57 / Friday, March 24, 1995 / Proposed Rules

2Notice of Proposed Rule Making in ET Docket

No. 95–18, 60 Fed Reg. 11,644 (Mar. 2, 1995).

(ITU) in Geneva, Switzerland from

October 23 to November 17, 1995. The

FCC Draft U.S. proposals resulting from

this proceeding will be considered by

the Departments of State and Commerce

in forging final U.S. proposals for WRC–

95. Final U.S. proposals must be

transmitted to the ITU by June 23, 1995.

3. In its request, COMSAT states that

it and many other interested parties are

now actively participating in

preparations for two international

meetings taking place later this month

relating to WRC preparations; in the

Commission’s WRC–95 Industry

Advisory Committee (IAC); and in

preparing comments to the

Commission’s 2 GHz allocation

proceeding.2 COMSAT asserts that in

view of these activities, and because of

the complex nature and significance of

the issues posed in the Second Notice

of Inquiry, the March 21st deadline does

not allow sufficient time for full

development of reply comments. In

particular, COMSAT notes that it and

others are engaged in the U.S.

preparations for the Conference

Preparatory Meeting (CPM) for WRC–95

that will occur in Geneva from March 22

to April 5, 1995. The CPM will complete

a Report to WRC–95 containing

technical, operational, and regulatory/

procedural information on the WRC–95

agenda items. COMSAT contends that

postponing the reply comment deadline

until after the CPM’s conclusion would

enable the parties to incorporate the

results of that meeting into their reply

comments thereby making them more

informative and valuable to the

Commission. Finally, COMSAT

recognizes that the Commission is under

extreme time constraints to draft U.S.

proposals in time for negotiation with

other government entities. It avers that

the requested extension will not disrupt

this process nor the IAC’s completion of

its Final Report due to the Commission

on May 1, 1995.

4. Although the Bureau does not

routinely grant extension requests, we

find that an extension of the reply

comment deadline to April 14, 1995

would be beneficial in this proceeding

as it would enable the parties to include

valuable and potentially critical

information learned at the CPM. We ask

the parties participating in the CPM to

incorporate the results of the meeting

into their reply comments and to

include, where possible, their views on

the likely success of potential U.S.

proposals at WRC–95 and where known,

the views of foreign delegations. The

parties should note, however, that the

Bureau remains committed to complete

this proceeding on a timely basis and

that no further extensions are

contemplated.

5. Accordingly, pursuant to Section

0.261 of the Commission’s rules, 47 CFR

0.261, it is ordered That the deadline for

filing reply comments in response to the

Second Notice of Inquiry is extended to

April 14, 1995.
