Final Ex Parte and Other Presentations Due:  January 31, 2000

On January 7, 2000, the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau released a Public Notice  in the 
above-referenced proceeding, seeking comment on specific issues identified therein.  The Public 
Notice established January 18, 2000 as the deadline for filing such comments, and established 7 
p.m., January 25, 2000 as the time and date after which ex parte and other presentations would be 
prohibited. 

Due to the recent inclement weather in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, the Federal 
Government was closed on January 25 and 26, 2000.  Accordingly, the period for final ex parte and 
other presentations on issues in this proceeding other than those issues decided in the First Report 
and Order  will be extended until 7 p.m. on Monday, January 31, 2000.
