On December 15, 2004, the Commission adopted an NPRM in WT Docket No. 04–435; FCC 04–288 published at 70 FR 11916, March 10, 2005, in which it requested public comment regarding proposals to replace or relax the Commission’s ban on airborne use of 800 MHz cellular handsets, as well as on other proposals to facilitate the use of wireless handsets and devices on airborne aircraft. 2. Pursuant to several extension requests, the WTB released an April 6, 2005 Order in WT Docket No. 04–435; DA 05–1015 published at 70 FR 21724, April 27, 2005, in which the Commission extended the comment and reply comment deadlines from April 11, 2005, and May 9, 2005, respectively, to May 26, 2005, and June 27, 2005, respectively. 3. On June 13, 2005, CTIA–The Wireless Association (‘‘CTIA’’) submitted a request seeking a further extension of time to file reply comments in this proceeding. The Boeing Company, Cingular Wireless LLC and Cellco Partnership d/b/a Verizon Wireless, and QUALCOMM Incorporated filed comments in support of CTIA’s request. The parties argue that a further extension of the reply comment period would permit interested parties to conduct a more thorough review of all the issues raised by the comments and to submit more detailed and meaningful responses. 4. Although it is the policy of the Commission that extensions of time shall not be routinely granted, an extension of time in this instance will aid in clarifying the complex issues raised in the record of this proceeding. PO 00000 Frm 00046 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 40277 In order to provide interested parties sufficient time within which to respond meaningfully to the relevant issues raised in the NPRM and the record, the reply comments deadline in this proceeding is extended, by forty-five days, to August 11, 2005. Ordering Clause 5. Pursuant to sections 4(i) and 4(j) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. 154(i) and 154(j), and §§ 0.131, 0.331, and 1.46 of the Commission’s rules, 47 CFR 0.131, 0.331, and 1.46, the deadline for filing reply comments in response to the NPRM, published on March 10, 2005, in WT Docket No. 04–435, is extended to August 11, 2005.
