                             ORDER


   Adopted:  June 10, 1997              Released:  June 10, 1997

By the Office of Engineering and Technology:

     1.  This action extends the effective date of the transition provision of Section 15.37(g) by
90 days from June 19, 1997 to September 17, 1997.  Section 15.37(g) requires that the manufacture
and importation of Central Processing Unit (CPU) boards and power supplies designed to be used
with personal computers, cease on or before June 19, 1997 unless these products have been
authorized under a Declaration of Conformity or a grant of certification.  The Commission received
three Petitions for Reconsideration filed by the Information Technology Industry Council, Hewlett-
Packard Company, and Intel Corporation in the above captioned matter.  The Commission expects
to act on these petitions in the near future.  We recognize that manufacturers are concerned about
finalizing their designs until the issues raised in the petitions are resolved.  An extension of 90 days
will permit the Commission to act on the petitions and should allow manufacturers sufficient time
to implement any changes to the rules.  Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, that the effective date of
Section 15.37(g) is extended to September 17, 1997.

     2. This action is taken pursuant to authority found in Sections 4 (i) and 303 of the
Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C.  154 (i) and 303; and pursuant to Sections
0.31 and 0.241 of the Commission's Rules, 47 C.F.R.  0.31 and 0.241.  For further information
contact the Office of Engineering and Technology, Anthony Serafini at (202) 418-2456 or Neal
McNeil (202) 418-2408.
