## Abstract

In this document, we grant in part the relief requested by the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association ("CTIA"). As requested by CTIA, we are temporarily suspending the September 30, 2001, compliance date for wireline, cellular, and broadband Personal Communications Services ("PCS") carriers to implement two Department of Justice ("DoJ")/Federal Bureau of Investigation ("FBI") "punch list" electronic surveillance capabilities. We deny CTIA's request for a blanket extension of the September 30, 2001, compliance deadline for these carriers to implement a packet-mode communications electronic surveillance capability. However, given the imminence of the packet- mode compliance deadline, we grant these carriers until November 19, 2001 either to come into compliance or to seek individual relief.
