VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:32 Aug 05, 2014 Jkt 232001 On July 23, 2014, the Satellite Industry Association (SIA) filed a motion to extend the reply comment deadline for the FNPRM from August 1 until August 15, 2014. SIA asserts that additional time is needed to respond to significant technical issues raised in the extensive record. In addition, SIA notes that, during the scheduled reply comment period, many of the technical personnel responsible for analyzing issues raised in the FNPRM on behalf of SIA member companies will be unavailable. These personnel will be attending meetings of the ITU Joint Task Working Groups preparing for WRC–15. On July 24, 2014, the Public Interest Spectrum Coalition, Utilities Telecom Council, and Wireless Internet Service Providers Association (Petitioners) filed a joint request (Joint Extension Request) to extend the reply comment deadline until August 15, 2014. Petitioners assert that extenuating circumstances warrant an extension and that the requested extension would be consistent with the public interest. Specifically, the Joint Extension Request asserts that additional time is needed to accurately assess and prepare responses to the relatively large volume of comments filed in response to the FNPRM, many of which addressed complicated technical issues. The Petitioners also note that the Commission’s Electronic Comment Filing System was largely inaccessible during the two days following the July 14, 2014 comment deadline and that the Federal Register publication date of the FNPRM removed an additional two days from the contemplated reply comment window. In addition, the Petitioners note that many of the parties that have filed PO 00000 Frm 00023 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 9990 45753 comments in this proceeding have also been participating in the Open Internet proceeding and other Commission rulemakings with overlapping deadlines. The Petitioners contend that the requested extension would not prejudice other parties or delay consideration of the record and that the Commission’s work would be assisted by more robust participation in the reply comment phase. It is the general policy of the Commission that extensions of time shall not be routinely granted. See 47 CFR1.46(a). However, under these circumstances, we agree that an extension of time to file reply comments is warranted to ensure that the Commission obtains a complete and thorough record in response to the FNPRM. The FNPRM sought comment on a wide variety of novel technical, policy and legal issues related to the establishment of the proposed Citizens Broadband Radio Service. We conclude that a short extension of time is warranted to enable interested parties sufficient opportunity to review and respond to the complex issues raised by the FNPRM. Accordingly, pursuant to section 4(i) of the Communications Act of 1934, 47 U.S.C. 154(i), as amended, and section 1.46 of the Commission’s rules, 47 CFR 1.46, we extend the deadline for filing reply comments until August 15, 2014.

Summary

    We extend the deadline for filing reply comments in response to the 
Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (FNPRM) to allow parties to more 
thoroughly address the complex technical, legal, and policy issues 
raised in the FNPRM and in the record. Interested parties will now have 
until August 15, 2014 to file reply comments.
    On July 23, 2014, the Satellite Industry Association (SIA) filed a 
motion to extend the reply comment deadline for the FNPRM from August 1 
until August 15, 2014. SIA asserts that additional time is needed to 
respond to significant technical issues raised in the extensive record. 
In addition, SIA notes that, during the scheduled reply comment period, 
many of the technical personnel responsible for analyzing issues raised 
in the FNPRM on behalf of SIA member companies will be unavailable. 
These personnel will be attending meetings of the ITU Joint Task 
Working Groups preparing for WRC-15.
    On July 24, 2014, the Public Interest Spectrum Coalition, Utilities 
Telecom Council, and Wireless Internet Service Providers Association 
(Petitioners) filed a joint request (Joint Extension Request) to extend 
the reply comment deadline until August 15, 2014. Petitioners assert 
that extenuating circumstances warrant an extension and that the 
requested extension would be consistent with the public interest. 
Specifically, the Joint Extension Request asserts that additional time 
is needed to accurately assess and prepare responses to the relatively 
large volume of comments filed in response to the FNPRM, many of which 
addressed complicated technical issues. The Petitioners also note that 
the Commission's Electronic Comment Filing System was largely 
inaccessible during the two days following the July 14, 2014 comment 
deadline and that the Federal Register publication date of the FNPRM 
removed an additional two days from the contemplated reply comment 
window. In addition, the Petitioners note that many of the parties that 
have filed comments in this proceeding have also been participating in 
the Open Internet proceeding and other Commission rulemakings with 
overlapping deadlines. The Petitioners contend that the requested 
extension would not prejudice other parties or delay consideration of 
the record and that the Commission's work would be assisted by more 
robust participation in the reply comment phase.
    It is the general policy of the Commission that extensions of time 
shall not be routinely granted. See 47 CFR1.46(a). However, under these 
circumstances, we agree that an extension of time to file reply 
comments is warranted to ensure that the Commission obtains a complete 
and thorough record in response to the FNPRM. The FNPRM sought comment 
on a wide variety of novel technical, policy and legal issues related 
to the establishment of the proposed Citizens Broadband Radio Service. 
We conclude that a short extension of time is warranted to enable 
interested parties sufficient opportunity to review and respond to the 
complex issues raised by the FNPRM. Accordingly, pursuant to section 
4(i) of the Communications Act of 1934, 47 U.S.C. 154(i), as amended, 
and section 1.46 of the Commission's rules, 47 CFR 1.46, we extend the 
deadline for filing reply comments until August 15, 2014.
