Band, Order, DA 21–370.

(TTY).
I. Background
1. On January 15, 2021, the
Commission released a NPRM seeking
input on the feasibility of allowing
flexible-use services in the 12.2–12.7
GHz band (12 GHz band) while
protecting incumbents from harmful
interference.2 The NPRM set deadlines
for filing comments and reply comments
of April 7, 2021, and May 7, 2021,
respectively.
2. On March 19, 2021, the Computer
& Communications Industry Association
(CCIA), INCOMPAS, Open Technology
Institute at New America, and Public
Knowledge (‘‘Movants’’) filed a motion
for a 30-day extension of the these filing
deadlines, such that comments would
be due May 7, 2021, and reply
comments would be due June 7, 2021.3
The Movants state that the NPRM
solicits comment on important factual,
legal, technical and policy issues that
require thorough analyses from
engineers, lawyers, and consultants and
will take time to substantively address.4
Movants further assert that no party will
be prejudiced by granting the Motion
and that authorizing additional time
potentially will allow all interested
parties to (1) more fully develop their
responses to the Commission’s NPRM,
leading to a better record; and (2) more
fully explore the applicability to the 12
GHz band of sharing solutions
developed for use in other frequency
bands.5 The Movants aver that good
cause exists for granting the Motion and
that doing so would be consistent with
past precedent.6 Parties filing responses
2 See Expanding Flexible Use of the 12.2–12.7
GHz Band, et al., WT Docket No. 20–443, Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking, FCC 21–13, 2021 WL 228049
(Jan. 15, 2021) (NPRM). The comment and reply
comment deadlines were set at 30 and 60 days after
publication in the Federal Register, which occurred
on March 8, 2021. See Federal Communications
Commission, Expanding Flexible Use of the 12.2–
12.7 GHz Band, 86 FR 13266 (Mar. 8, 2021).

WT Docket No. 20–443, et al., at 1 (filed Mar. 19,
2021), https://ecfsapi.fcc.gov/file/

to this Motion (Respondents) either
support or do not object to a 30-day
extension and no opposition has been
filed.7
3. The Commission grants the Motion
for Extension of Time. As set forth in
§ 1.46 of the Commission’s rules,8 the
Commission does not routinely grant
extensions of time for filing comments
in rulemaking proceedings. In this case,
however, The Commission finds good
cause for granting an extension of the
comment and reply comment periods
for reasons identified by the Movants
and the Respondents. Specifically, the
Commission concludes that extension of
the comment and reply deadlines to
May 7, 2021, and June 7, 2021,
respectively, is warranted to provide
commenters with additional time to
prepare comments and reply comments
that fully respond to the complex
economic, engineering, and policy
issues raised in the NPRM.
II. Ordering Clauses
4. Accordingly, it is ordered that,
pursuant to § 4(i) of the
Communications Act of 1934, as
amended, 47 U.S.C. 154(i), and 0.131,
0.331, and 1.46 of the Commission’s
rules, 47 CFR 0.131, 0.331, and 1.46, the
Motion for Extension of Time filed by
CCIA, INCOMPAS, Open Technology
Institute at New America, Public
Knowledge is granted.
5. It is further ordered that the
deadlines to file comments and reply
comments in this proceeding are
granted to May 7, 2021, and June 7,
2021, respectively.

rulemaking proceedings. In this case, however, The Commission finds
good cause for granting an extension of the comment and reply comment
periods for reasons identified by the Movants and the Respondents.
Specifically, the Commission concludes that extension of the comment
and reply deadlines to May 7, 2021, and June 7, 2021, respectively, is
warranted to provide commenters with additional time to prepare
comments and reply comments that fully respond to the complex economic,
engineering, and policy issues raised in the NPRM.
