SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    1. This is a synopsis of the Media Bureau's Review of the 
Commission's Broadcast and Cable Equal Employment Opportunity Rules and 
Policies, DA 02-1007, released May 1, 2002. On December 21, 2001, the 
Commission released a Second Notice of Proposed Rule Making, MM Docket 
No. 98-204, 67 FR 1704 (January 14, 2002) (Second NPRM) requesting 
comment on various proposals concerning the Commission's broadcast and 
cable EEO rules and policies.
    2. On April 25, 2002, MMTC filed a Motion for Extension of Reply 
Comment Deadline requesting an extension of time for the filing date 
for reply comments.
    3. MMTC requests that the Commission extend the reply comment 
deadline from May 15, 2002, to May 29, 2002. Because the Bureau 
believes that the public interest would be served by an extension of 
the reply comment period in this proceeding, we grant MMTC's request 
and extend the date for filing reply comments to May 29, 2002.
    4. Accordingly, it is ordered that the Motion for Extension of 
Reply Comment Deadline filed by MMTC is granted.
    5. It is therefore ordered that the date for filing reply comments 
in this proceeding is extended to May 29, 2002.
    6. This action is taken pursuant to authority found in sections 
4(i) and 303(r) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 
U.S.C. 4(i) and 303(r), and Secs. 0.204(b), 0.283 and 1.46 of the 
Commission's rules, 47 CFR 0.204(b), 0.283 and 1.46.

    Federal Communications Commission.
