SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 1. On
September 23, 2010, the Federal
Communications Commission adopted
an FNPRM and NOI, seeking comment
on how to further improve the location
capability of 911 and E911 services for
existing and new voice communications
technologies, including new broadband
technologies associated with the
deployment of Next Generation 911
(NG911) networks. The E911 Location
Accuracy FNPRM and NOI was
published in the Federal Register on
November 2, 2010, 75 FR 67321. Thus,
comments submitted in response to the
E911 Location Accuracy FNPRM and
NOI must be filed on or before January
3, 2011; and reply comments must be
filed on or before January 31, 2011.
2. On November 22, 2010, the
Association of Public-Safety
Communications Officials—
International (APCO), the National

Sfmt 4702
Emergency Number Association
(NENA), the National Association of
State 911 Administrators (NASNA),
CTIA—The Wireless Association
(CTIA), and the Telecommunications
Industry Association (TIA) (collectively,
the ‘‘Parties’’) jointly filed a request to
extend the comment and reply comment
deadlines in this proceeding until
January 19, 2011, and February 18,
2011, respectively. The parties argue
that ‘‘[a] short-term extension is in the
public interest to allow interested
parties to meaningfully address the
issues raised in this proceeding.’’
3. We grant the parties’ request for
extension of time to file comments and
reply comments. Generally, it is the
policy of the Commission that
extensions of time are not routinely
granted. Nevertheless, the Commission
has previously found that an extension
of time is warranted when such an
extension is necessary to ensure that the
Commission receives full and informed
responses and that affected parties have
a meaningful opportunity to develop a
complete record for the Commission’s
consideration. In light of the multitude
of issues that the Commission seeks
comment upon in the E911 Location
Accuracy FNPRM and NOI, we find that
an extension is warranted to ensure that
all interested parties have the time
necessary to prepare full and informed
comments and reply comments.
4. Additionally, we concur with the
Parties that granting an extension of
time would permit various
Communications Security, Reliability
and Interoperability Council (CSRIC)
working groups to develop and finalize
recommendations relating to E911 and
NG911. As the Parties noted, ‘‘[m]any of
those working group members plan to
file comments and/or reply comments
in this proceeding.’’ Indeed, in the E911
Location Accuracy FNPRM and NOI, the
Commission highlighted the

significance of CSRIC’s contribution to
this proceeding. Under these
circumstances, the Bureau finds that the
proposed extension of time will provide
CSRIC working group members with the
time to develop thorough
recommendations for the CSRIC and
meaningful comments in this
proceeding.
5. Accordingly, It is ordered that,
