               Opposition to Petitions to Deny in Mobile Communications
               Holdings, Inc. —— File No. 158—SAT—AMEND—96 (1 1—DSS—P—
               91(6); 18—DSS—P—91(18); 1—SAT—LA—95:12—SAT—AMEND—95)
Dear Mr. Leventhal:


On behalf of TRW Inc., you have requested a one—week extension of time in which to reply
to Mobile Communications Holdings, Inc.‘s Opposition in the referenced proceeding. For
good cause shown, we grant the requested extension oftime.

MCHI‘s amendment to its pending application was placed on Public Notice on November 27.
1996 (see Public Notice, Report No. SPB—69 (November 27, 1996))..     Motorola Satellite
Communications, Inc., TRW Inc. and L/Q Licensee, Inc. filed Petitions to Deny. MCHI filed
an Opposition to these petitions on January 23, 1997, pursuant to a two—week extension of
time. (See letter to Counsel, Mobile Communications Holdings, Inc. from Chief, Satellite and
Radiocommunication Division (January 21, 1997).) TRW states that the MCHI Opposition
contains numerous points which need to be addressed in detail, including new documents
never before available. A one week extension would enable all parties to thoroughly review
the Opposition and enable the Commission to compile a complete record.         Further, TRW
states that counsel for all parties of record have consented to the requested extension.

Pursuant to Section 0.261 of the Commission‘s rules on delegations of authority, 47 C.F.R.
§ 0.261, for good cause shown, your January 29, 1997 request, on behalf of TRW Inc. for an
extension of time to file a reply in the referenced proceeding is granted. Replies may be filed
on or before February 11, 1997.


                                            Sincerely,




                                      fi& Thomas S. Tycz

                            MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME

       TRW Inc. ("TRW"), by its attorneys and pursuant to Section 1.46 of the Commission‘s

rules, 47 C.F.R. § 1.46 (1995), hereby requests that the Commission grant a one—week extension

of time, until February 11, 1997, for the filing of replies to the Consolidated Opposition to

Petitions to Dismiss or Deny ("Opposition") filed by Mobile Communications Holdings, Inc.

("MCHI") on January 23, 1997 in the above—captioned proceeding. Counsel for all parties of

record in this proceeding have consented to the extension requested by TRW herein.

       MCHI amended the above—referenced application on September 16, 1996, and filed a

Supplement to that application on November 13, 1996. A Public Notice announcing the

acceptance of these two documents for filing was issued by the Commission on November 27,

1996 (Report No. SPB—69). Between December 24 and 27, 1996, TRW, L/Q Licensee, Inc. and

Motorola Satellite Communications, Inc. filed petitions to dismiss or deny MCHI‘s application.

Because the MCHI Opposition was filed on January 23, 1997 — pursuant to a two—week

extension of time granted to MCHI by the Satellite and Radiocommunication Division‘ — replies




       a       See Letter from Thomas S. Tycz, Chief, Satellite and Radiocommunication
               Division, to Jill Abeshouse Stern (January 21, 1997).


                                                — 2.

to that Opposition would normally be due on February 4; 1997. See 47 C.F.R. §§ 25.154(d), 1.4

(1995).
          The MCHI Opposition contains numerous points that must be addressed in detail,

including a host of new documents regarding MCHI‘s application that have never previously been

submitted to the Commission or made available for public review. TRW believes that grant of the

requested one—week extension of time will serve the public interest by enabling the Commission to

compile a complete record with which to evaluate MCHI‘s pending application. TRW also

believes that grant of the instant motion will have no significant impact on any of the other parties

to this proceeding.

          For the foregoing reasons, TRW requests an extension of time until February 11, 1997,

for the filing of replies to the MCHI Opposition.




                                                       Respectfully submitted,

                                                       TRW Inc.
