FCC File No.  D069976



                             ORDER


   Adopted:  June 9, 2000               Released:  June 13, 2000

Before the Deputy Chief, Public Safety and Private Wireless Division, Wireless Telecommunications
Bureau:

1.     The Public Safety and Private Wireless Division (Division) of the Wireless
Telecommunications Bureau has before it a motion for extension of time (Motion) to file a protest of our
Order on Reconsideration and Order on Modification (Order), filed by the Bergen County, New Jersey
Police Department (Bergen) on June 2, 2000.  Bergen requests that we extend the time for filing a protest
to Order to forty-five days, from June 12, 2000 to July 27, 2000.  On June 6, 2000 the Police Department
of the City of New York filed comments in support of Bergen's Motion.
2.     In the Order, the Division concluded that the grant of Bergen's license was defective.
Accordingly, the Division reinstated Greco Cousins Concrete Corp.'s (Greco) application for authorization
of a new station in the Industrial Radio Service for use on frequency pair 477/480.5125 MHz to pending
status and proposed to delete frequency pair 477/480.5125 MHz from Bergen's Station WPRL685. 
3.     The Bergen County Police Department serves an area with a population of 875,000. Bergen
includes a Patrol Division, Water Search and Recovery Team, Bomb Team, Hostage Negotiations Team,
Canine Squad and Criminal Investigation Division.  According to Bergen, its Communications Division
covers "all facets of county government, including police, fire, emergency management, and
transportation."  
4.     Bergen states that the Order proposes to terminate critical public safety communications and
vest authorization for the assigned frequencies in Greco.  Bergen further states that this action will
endanger the health and safety of law enforcement officers in Bergen County and throughout the New York
Metropolitan area, thus jeopardizing fundamental public safety operations.  Bergen also states that no
detriment will accrue by granting an extension of time to file a protest of the decision, and that such an
extension will afford Bergen an opportunity to review and present its position to the Commission. While
the Commission does not routinely grant motions for extension of time, we believe that Bergen has
presented good cause for approval of such a motion.  We therefore conclude that a grant of the Motion
would be in the public interest.  
5.     Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 4(i) of the Communications Act of
1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C.  154(i), and Section 1.46 of the Commission's Rules, 47 C.F.R.  1.46, the
motion for extension of time to file a protest of the Order on Reconsideration and Order on Modification
filed by the Bergen County, New Jersey Police Department on June 2, 2000, IS GRANTED.
6.     For the forgoing reasons, we hereby extend the time for filing a protest to the Order on
Modification in this proceeding to July 27, 2000.
7.     This action is taken under delegated authority pursuant to Sections 0.131 and 0.331 of the
Commission's Rules, 47 C.F.R.  0.131, 0.331.
