Summary of Order
1. On May 20, 2008, the Rural Cellular
Association (RCA) filed a Petition for
Rulemaking (Petition) asking the
Commission to ‘‘initiate a rulemaking to
investigate the widespread use and
anticompetitive effects of exclusivity
arrangements between commercial
wireless carriers and handset
manufacturers, and, as necessary, adopt
rules that prohibit such arrangements
when contrary to the public interest.’’
The Commission issued a Public Notice
on October 10, 2008, seeking comments
on the Petition. Comments and reply
comments were due on December 2, and
December 22, 2008, respectively, 72 FR
63127, October 23, 2008.
2. On November 20, 2008, RCA and
CTIA—The Wireless Association filed a
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 217001
joint request (Request) for a 60-day
extension of the comment and reply
comment deadlines ‘‘to enable the
Associations and their members to
continue industry discussions regarding
the issues raised in the RCA Petition
with the goal of reaching an agreement
among interested parties on the issues
raised * * * or, at the very least,
narrowing the issues for Commission
consideration.’’ No party opposed the
Request.
3. It is the policy of the Commission
that extensions of time are not routinely
granted. In the instant case, however,
we find that providing a limited
extension will serve the public interest
by allowing parties to discuss the
complex issues at stake and develop
consensus approaches where possible.
Accordingly, we are granting the
Request by extending the deadline for
all comments and reply comments to
February 2, and February 20, 2009,
respectively.
4. Pursuant to section 4(i) of the
Communications Act of 1934, as
amended, 47 U.S.C. 154(i), and 1.46 of
the Commission’s rules, 47 CFR 1.46,
the Rural Cellular Association and
CTIA—The Wireless Association Joint
Request for Extension of Comment and
Reply Comment Deadlines, filed on
November 20, 2008, is granted, and the
deadline for filing comments in
response to the Public Notice is
extended to February 2, 2009, and until
February 20, 2009, to file reply
comments.
5. This action is taken under
delegated authority pursuant to Sections
0.131 and 0.331 of the Commission’s
Rules, 47 CFR 0.131 and 0.331.
