(WorldCom) and MCI Communications Corporation (MCI) submitted an ex parte filing describing an agreement that MCI had reached with Cable & Wireless (C&W) for the sale of MCI's Internet backbone business.#U|\  PCP# I. A. 1. a.(1)(a) i) a)#]\  PCP#эLetter from Mary L. Brown, Senior Policy Counsel, MCI, to Magalie Roman Salas, Secretary, FCC (June 3, 1998) (June 3rd Ex Parte). On June 4, 1998, the Commission issued a public notice seeking comment from interested parties on this transaction.#U|\  PCP# I. A. 1. a.(1)(a) i) a)#]\  P CP#эCommission Seeks Comment on MCI Ex Parte Describing Internet Aspects of Proposed WorldCom and MCI Merger, Public Notice, DA 981059 (rel. June 4, 1998). Comments were filed on June 11, 1998 and reply comments were scheduled to be filed today, June 16, 1998. On June 15, 1998, WorldCom and MCI filed a motion requesting that the Commission extend the time to file replies. Specifically, WorldCom and MCI seek a extension of time "until a date no later than July 15, 1998" to file reply comments..#U|\  P CP# I. A. 1. a.(1)(a) i) a)#]\  P CP#эJune 3rd Ex Parte at 1..  We grant this motion for extension of time with the limitation that WorldCom and MCI must file a reply by July 15, 1998, or within two days from any final action taken with respect to the merger by the Department of Justice and/or the European Commission, whichever occurs first. We conclude that a motion for extension of time to file reply comments is justified in light of the continuing discussions that WorldCom and MCI are having with the Department of Justice and the European Commission concerning MCI's proposal to divest its Internet backbone assets to C&W.#U|\  P CP# I. A. 1. a.(1)(a) i) a)#]\  P CP#эSee id. We agree with WorldCom and MCI that it would be an inefficient use of Commission resources to review a reply comment that may fail to reflect the outcome of the review of the proposed divestiture by the relevant antitrust authorities. We also agree that no interested party is prejudiced by this delay in the filing of a response. In order to ensure that the Commission has the most current information in its record, however, we direct WorldCom and MCI to file reply comments either within two days after final action is taken with respect to the merger by the Department of Justice and/or the European Commission or by July 15, 1998, whichever occurs first.#U|\  PCP# I. A. 1. a.(1)(a) i) a)#]\  PCP#эWe note that, according to press reports, the European Commission is statutorily required to issue a decision on the merger between WorldCom and MCI by July 15, 1998. Ŀ Once WorldCom and MCI file reply comments, there will be an opportunity for interested parties to respond to these comments as well as to comments that were filed with the Commission on June 11, 1998.  Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to sections 4(i), 4(j), 214, 309, and 310 of the Communications Act, as amended, 47 U.S.C.  154(i), 154(j), 214, 309, and 310 , WorldCom and MCI's Joint Motion for Extension of Time filed June 15, 1998, IS GRANTED.
