SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Order

Adopted: September 22, 1995
Released: September 25, 1995

    By the Chief, International Bureau:
    1. By this Order, we grant an extension of time, until October 10, 
1995, in which to file reply comments in response to the Third Notice 
of Proposed Rulemaking and Supplemental Tentative Decision in CC Docket 
No. 92-297 (60 FR 43740, August 23, 1995). This action is taken in 
response to motions submitted by GE American Communications, Inc. (``GE 
Americom'') and TRW Inc.
    2. TRW indicates that an extension until October 10 would 
facilitate discussion and resolution of the specific details on inter-
service sharing with other parties involved in this proceeding. GE 
argues that grant of an extension would allow adequate time to consider 
and respond to all issues and detailed technical exhibits submitted in 
the comments, as well as alleviate time pressures on personnel who are 
also preparing filings for Commission proceedings with contemporaneous 
deadlines.
    3. We believe that an extension of time until October 10, 1995, is 
reasonable. This proceeding is of importance to all segments of the 
satellite and terrestrial communications industries that are seeking 
the allocation of spectrum in the 28 GHz band. Resolution of inter-
service sharing issues would serve the public interest.
    4. Accordingly, pursuant to Section 0.261 of the Commission's rules 
on delegation of authority, 47 CFR 0.261, GE American Communications, 
Inc.'s and TRW Inc.'s motions for extension of time for filing reply 
comments in the above-captioned proceeding are granted to the extent 
indicated. The date for filing comments is extended until October 10, 
1995, the Tuesday following the Columbus Day federal holiday.

Federal Communications Commission.

Chief, International Bureau.
