Dear Counsel:

On June 2, 2000, a Motion for Extension of Time was filed jointly by the Fixed Wireless
Communications Coalition ("FWCC"), the Association of American Railroads ("AAR"), the American
Petroleum Institute ("API"), the Association of Public—Safety Communications Officers International
("APCO"), and the United Telecom Council ("UTC").

The joint movants request an extension of time until June 15, 2000 to file a Reply to MTN‘s Opposition
to Petition for Expedited Action (currently due June 6, 2000) and to file an Opposition to MTN‘s Motion
to Strike (currently due June 8, 2000). The joint movants state the extension of time would serve the
public interest by enabling them to respond adequately by providing the Commission with a responsive
engineering analysis. They explain that their engineering expert was in attendance at the National
Spectrum Manager‘s Association Annual Meeting and, hence, was unavailable to them at the time, and
briefly after, the MTN Opposition and Motion were filed. They have represented that counsel for MTN
has been orally notified of the filing of (as well as properly served with) the joint motion and that MTN‘s
counsel indicated that no opposition to it would be filed.

Accordingly, we grant the joint motion, finding that the requested extension of time would serve the
public interest. Thus, the deadline for filing both a Reply to MTN‘s Opposition and an Opposition to
MTN‘s Motion is EXTENDED TO JUNE 15, 2000.


                                                 Sincerely,




                                                 Charles J. Iseman
                                                 Deputy Chief
                                                 Electromagnetic Compatibility Division
