Mass Media Ownership Rules

The Commission granted an extension of time to file reply comments in the above three proceedings in response to a request filed by the Minority Media and Telecommunications Council to extend the filing dates for two of the three proceedings. The three related rulemaking items involve ownership of television stations, minority and female ownership of mass media facilities, and attribution of ownership interests. The Commission had already granted an extension of the original deadline for filing comments in the three proceedings from April 17, 1995, to May 17, 1995, and had extended the original deadline for filing reply comments from May 17, 1995, to June 19, 1995. 60 Fed. Reg. 19566 (April 19, 1995). Petitioners requested an additional two-week extension of time to file reply comments in the proceedings dealing with minority and female ownership and attribution. The Commission determined that a three-week extension was warranted for all three proceedings because of the possible relevance of the issues addressed by the Supreme Court in Adarand Construction v. Pena, No. 93-1841 (June 12, 1995).
