On June 15, 2010, the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau commenced the bidding for the auction of paging licenses (Auction 87), which include the same Channel Blocks and BEAs occupied by Wyoming.3 On our own motion,4 we find that an extension of the comment and reply comment dates for the Wyoming Public Notice is appropriate to provide interested parties that are participating in Auction 87 additional time to file comments following the completion of the auction. Accordingly, we extend the comment and reply comment dates by 30 days to July 30, 2010, and August 11, 2010, respectively, for the Wyoming Public Notice. 1 See Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau Seeks Comment on Request for Waiver Filed by the State of Wyoming to Modify Its Public Safety Statewide Communications System, File No. 0003764744, Public Notice, DA 10-1051 (rel.
