Synopsis of Order

    1. On June 30, 2004, the National Organization for Women and four 
other groups (``NOW'') jointly filed a Motion for Extension of Time. 
NOW seeks an extension of the deadline for filing comments and reply 
comments responsive to the Third Report and Order and Fourth Notice of 
Proposed Rule Making (``3R&O'', 69 FR 34950, June 23, 2004; ``4NPRM'', 
69 FR 34986, June 23, 2004), in this proceeding.
    2. NOW states that the additional time is necessary to enable it to 
devote adequate time and resources to this proceeding. NOW states that 
it also needs time to permit various interested parties to work 
together to formulate an approach that may successfully resolve the 
issue in this proceeding.
    3. We find that the public interest would be served by granting the 
requested extension of the comments and reply comments deadlines. The 
brief extension requested will enable NOW and other parties to prepare 
comprehensive comments and replies that will help the Commission in its 
decision-making and help resolve the complex and significant public 
policy issues raised in this proceeding.
    4. NOW's Motion for Extension of Time is granted.
    5. This action is taken pursuant to delegated authority under Sec.  
0.283 of the Commission's Rules, 47 CFR 0.283.

Federal Communications Commission.
William H. Johnson,
Chief, Media Bureau.
