 ORDER  GRANTING  AN  EXTENSION  OF  TIME  TO  FILE  REPLY  COMMENTS 
 Adopted:  October  8,  2004  Released:  October  12,  2004 
 By  the  Chief  Engineer: 
 1.  A  Petition  for  Waiver  in  the  above  entitled  proceeding  was  received  by  the  Commission  on  August  26,  2004  and  was  placed  on  Public  Notice  on  August  30,  2004.  Comments  in  this  proceeding  were 
 due  on  September  29,  2004,  and  reply  comments  were  due  on  October  14,  2004. 
 2.  On  October  8,  2004,  the  Multi-  band  OFDM  Alliance  Special  Interest  Group  (“  MB-  OFDM  SIG”)  requested  a  seven  day  extension  of  the  reply  comment  period.  MB-  OFDM  SIG  states  that  an 
 extension  is  necessary  because  of  the  lengthy  and  detailed  technical  analyses  submitted  in  response  to  the  petition. 


 3.  The  Commission  does  not  routinely  grant  extensions  of  time  in  rule  making  proceedings.  However,  because  of  the  complexity  of  the  subject  we  believe  that  a  short  extension  of  the  reply  comment 
 period  will  enable  the  concerned  parties  to  fully  analyze  the  information  submitted  in  the  comments.  Accordingly,  IT  IS  ORDERED,  pursuant  to  the  delegated  authority  contained  in  47  C.  F.  R.  §§  0.31  and 
 0.241(  a),  that  the  time  period  for  filing  reply  comments  in  the  above  captioned  proceeding  IS  EXTENDED  to  October  21,  2004.
