SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 2, 2008, the Copyright Office

Congress which, inter alia, broadly discussed the continuing need for 
the cable statutory license (``Report''). The Report also examined many

extension because ``(f)urther study of the recently-released Report is 
necessary to assess its relationship to the rules proposed in the

    Given the complexity of the issues raised in the NPRM, and the 
publication of the Section 109 Report to Congress thereafter, the 
Office grants the request to extend the comment and reply comment dates 
in this proceeding. Comments are now due on July 31, 2008 and reply 
comments are due on September 16, 2008.
