 1934,  as  amended.  1  By  Public  Notice,  released  June  2,  2005,  the  Media  Bureau  set  the  dates  for  filing  comments  and  petitions  to  deny  as  July  5,  2005,  and  set  the  date  for  filing  responses  to  comments  and 
 oppositions  to  the  petitions  as  July  20,  2005.  2  On  June  21,  2005,  Applicants  filed  supplemental  information  on  the  systems  that  will  be  transferred  as  a  result  of  the  transactions  and  on  pre-  and  post-transaction 
 subscriber  counts. 
 2.  On  June  22,  2005,  National  Hispanic  Media  Coalition,  Consumers  Union,  Consumer  Federation  of  America  and  the  Center  for  Digital  Democracy  (“  NHMC,  et  al.”)  filed  a  Motion  for 


 Extension  of  Time  (“  Motion”)  requesting  an  extension  until  July  21,  2005,  to  file  comments  and  petitions  to  deny  in  this  proceeding.  According  to  NHMC,  et  al.,  more  time  is  needed  due  to  the  complexity  of  the 
 transactions,  and  to  permit  NHMC,  et  al.,  and  other  interested  parties,  sufficient  time  to  analyze  the  information  entered  in  the  record  on  June  21.  Applicants  do  not  oppose  the  request  for  an  extension  of 
 time  to  file  comments  and  petitions. 
 3.  We  find  that  there  is  good  cause  to  extend  the  due  dates  for  filing  comments  and  petitions  in  this  proceeding.  Granting  the  extensions  will  serve  the  public  interest  in  gathering  a  full  record,  and  will 


 permit  interested  parties  more  fully  to  analyze  the  supplementary  information  provided  by  the  Applicants  on  June  21.  We  agree  with  NHMC,  et  al.  that  the  information  provided  by  Applicants  on  June  21  is 
 sufficiently  integral  to  their  applications  to  warrant  the  extension  of  time  to  allow  the  public  adequate  time  to  analyze  and  to  comment  on  the  submissions. 


 4.  Accordingly,  IT  IS  ORDERED  that,  pursuant  to  Sections  4(  i),  4(  j)  and  5(  c)  of  the  Communications  Act  of  1934,  as  amended,  47  U.  S.  C.  §§  154(  i),  154(  j)  and  155(  c  ),  and  Sections  0.61, 
 0.283,  and  1.46  of  the  Commission’s  rules,  47  C.  F.  R.  §§  0.61,  0.283,  and  1.46,  the  date  for  filing  comments  and  petitions  to  deny  in  MB  Docket  No.  05-  192  is  extended  until  July  21,  2005,  and  the  date 
 for  filing  responses  to  comments  and  oppositions  to  petitions  is  extended  to  August  5,  2005.
