    By the Chief, Private Wireless Division, Wireless 
Telecommunications Bureau.

    In the Matter of Amendment of Parts 22, 90, and 94 of the 
Commission's Rules to Permit Routine Use of Signal Boosters.

    1. On June 22, 1995, the Commission released a Notice of Proposed 
Rule Making in the above-captioned proceeding 60 FR 33782, June 29, 
1995. The specified dates were July 14, 1995, for comments and August 
1, 1995, for reply comments.
    2. On July 6, 1995, the American Mobile Telecommunications 
Association (AMTA), requested that we extend the comment date in this 
proceeding to August 14, 1995. In support of its request, AMTA states 
that some of its members are concerned that widespread use of signal 
boosters, without significant restrictions, may increase the risk of 
harmful interference. Accordingly, AMTA's Technology Committee is 
assembling technical data on the probable impact of signal booster 
operation. AMTA indicates that an additional thirty (30) days is 
necessary to complete this process and submit its findings to the 
Commission.
    3. We believe that the public interest would be best served by 
compiling an accurate and complete record in this proceeding. 
Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to Sec. 0.331 of the Commission's 
Rules, 47 CFR 0.331, the Motion for Extension of Comment Date filed by 
AMTA is GRANTED, and the deadline for filing comments and reply 
comments in response to the subject Notice of Proposed Rule Making is 
extended to August 14, 1995, and September 1, 1995, respectively.

Federal Communications Commission.
Robert H. McNamara,
Chief, Private Wireless Division, WTB.
