Mr. David J. Gudino
Attorney
GTE Hawaiian Telephone
  Company Incorporated
1850 M Street, N.W.

Washington, D.C. 20036

Dear Mr. Gudino:

On February 15, 1995, you filed a request for an extension of time
for GTE Hawaiian Telephone Company Incorporated (GTE) to file a
response to the pole attachment complaint filed by Daniels
Communications Partners d/b/a Hawaiian Cablevision Company, et
al.(Daniels), PA 95-009.

A previous request by GTE for an extension until February 21, 1995,
to respond to the complaint was granted on February 13, 1995.  You
state  that the parties have met and have agreed to continue
negotiations with the goal of reaching a settlement for all the
complaints.  Because of these settlement discussions GTE believes
that an additional extension of time until March 6, 1995, would
promote administrative efficiency and would further the public
interest.  You also state that the complainants are not opposed to
this extension request.

After careful consideration we believe that GTE has shown good
cause to justify the grant of an extension of time.  Therefore, GTE
has until March 6, 1995 to file its response in the above
referenced complaint.



                              Sincerely,



                              Kenneth P. Moran
                              Chief, Accounting and Audits Division
