responses be extended by two business days from June 25, 1998, until June 29, 1998.
2. Norcom asserts that grant of the requested extension is in the public interest 
because the extension will permit the development of a more comprehensive record by 
allowing petitioners to gather the technical information needed to fully respond to the issues 
raised in TMI's Opposition to Petitions to Deny. The extension request is unopposed.
