                                   ORDER

     Adopted:  March 15, 1995    Released:  March 15, 1995

By the Chief, International Bureau:
     
     1.    Telefonica Larga Distancia de Puerto Rico, Inc. (TLD)
requests that the time
for filing Comments and Reply Comments to the Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking be
extended four weeks.  TRW Inc., IDB Mobile Communications, Inc.,
and AmericaTel
Corporation join TLD in this request.

     2.    This proceeding seeks comments on a broad range of
complex legal, economic
and policy issues involving the entry and regulation of
foreign-affiliated entities in the U.S.
telecommunications market.   The issues raised have been the
subject of much debate in
recent years, and the Commission is interested in receiving a
complete and balanced
presentation on the numerous issues.   While the Commission
recognizes the wide range of
issues to be addressed, it is also interested in completing this
proceeding in a timely manner. 
Therefore, the Commission will limit the requested extension of
time for Comments and
Reply Comments to two weeks from the original due dates of March
28, 1995, and April 28,
1995, respectively.  

     3.    Although the Bureau does not routinely grant extension
requests, we find that
an extension of the deadline for Comments to April 11, 1995,
would be beneficial in this
proceeding as it would enable the parties to fully develop their
positions on the many issues
raised in this proceeding.  In addition, the Bureau will extend
the deadline for filing Reply
Comments to May 12, 1995.  The parties should note, however, that
the Bureau remains
committed to completing this proceeding in a timely manner and
that no further extensions
are contemplated.
     
     4.    Accordingly, pursuant to Section 0.261 of the
Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 
0.261, IT IS ORDERED THAT the deadline for filing Comments to the
Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking IS EXTENDED to April 11, 1995, and the deadline for
filing Reply Comments
IS EXTENDED to May 12, 1995.
