By this Order, the Wireline Competition Bureau (Bureau) of the Federal Communications Commission VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:23 Aug 31, 2021 Jkt 253001 grants an extension of time for filing comments and reply comments on the Fifth FNPRM (86 FR 40416) in the above-captioned proceeding. As a result, comments are now due on September 27, 2021 and reply comments are now due on October 27, 2021. 2. On May 24, 2021, the Commission released the ICS Third Report and Order, Order on Reconsideration, and Fifth Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in this proceeding. The Fifth FNPRM set deadlines for filing comments and reply comments at 30 and 60 days, respectively, after a summary of the item was published in the Federal Register. The Federal Register published that summary on July 28, 2021, and established deadlines of August 27, 2021 and September 27, 2021 for filing comments and reply comments, respectively. 3. On August 3, 2021, Telecommunications for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing, Inc. (TDI), supported by the Benton Institute for Broadband & Society, HEARD, the Human Rights Defense Center, the National Association of the Deaf (NAD), Public Knowledge, the United Church of Christ, OC Inc., Voqal, and Worth Rises (collectively, Movants) filed a Motion for Extension of Time seeking 30-day extensions of the comment and reply deadlines. Movants explain that ‘‘the Commission’s important and numerous inquiries in the Fifth FNPRM are wideranging and complex, and affording additional time for organizations to develop their comments will ensure that a full record is developed.’’ Movants further explain that their ability to meet the current comment and reply comment deadlines is compromised due to staffing concerns during the month of August, a reply comment schedule condensed by two holidays, and the need for at least one of the movants to transition to new legal clinic staff between now and the filing deadlines. Movants assert that ‘‘a brief extension would provide the organizations and their counsel sufficient time to finish developing a full array of comments on the broad range of important issues presented by the Fifth [FNPRM].’’ No party has filed an opposition to the Movants’ request. 4. As set forth in 47 CFR 1.46, it is the policy of the Commission that extensions of time shall not be routinely granted. Nevertheless, the Bureau finds that Movants have shown good cause for an extension of the comment and reply comment deadlines and that the public interest will be served by extending the comment deadline to September 27, 2021 and, extending the reply comment deadline to October 27, 2021.

ACTION: Proposed rule. AGENCY: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), propose to remove the snail darter (Percina tanasi), a small freshwater fish native to the Tennessee River watershed, from the Federal List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife (List). Our review of the best available scientific and commercial data indicates that the threats to the species have been eliminated or reduced to the point that the species no longer meets the definition of an endangered or a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act). If we finalize this rule as proposed, the prohibitions and conservation measures provided by the Act, particularly through sections 7 and 9, would no longer apply to the snail darter. We request information and comments from the public regarding this proposed rule to remove the snail darter from the List (i.e., ‘‘delist’’ the species). SUMMARY: We will accept comments received or postmarked on or before November 1, 2021. Comments submitted electronically using the Federal eRulemaking Portal (see ADDRESSES, below) must be received by 11:59 p.m. DATES: E:\FR\FM\01SEP1.SGM 01SEP1

    1. By this Order, the Wireline Competition Bureau (Bureau) of the 
Federal Communications Commission grants an extension of time for 
filing comments and reply comments on the Fifth FNPRM (86 FR 40416) in 
the above-captioned proceeding. As a result, comments are now due on 
September 27, 2021 and reply comments are now due on October 27, 2021.
    2. On May 24, 2021, the Commission released the ICS Third Report 
and Order, Order on Reconsideration, and Fifth Further Notice of 
Proposed Rulemaking in this proceeding. The Fifth FNPRM set deadlines 
for filing comments and reply comments at 30 and 60 days, respectively, 
after a summary of the item was published in the Federal Register. The 
Federal Register published that summary on July 28, 2021, and 
established deadlines of August 27, 2021 and September 27, 2021 for 
filing comments and reply comments, respectively.
    3. On August 3, 2021, Telecommunications for the Deaf and Hard of 
Hearing, Inc. (TDI), supported by the Benton Institute for Broadband & 
Society, HEARD, the Human Rights Defense Center, the National 
Association of the Deaf (NAD), Public Knowledge, the United Church of 
Christ, OC Inc., Voqal, and Worth Rises (collectively, Movants) filed a 
Motion for Extension of Time seeking 30-day extensions of the comment 
and reply deadlines. Movants explain that ``the Commission's important 
and numerous inquiries in the Fifth FNPRM are wide-ranging and complex, 
and affording additional time for organizations to develop their 
comments will ensure that a full record is developed.'' Movants further 
explain that their ability to meet the current comment and reply 
comment deadlines is compromised due to staffing concerns during the 
month of August, a reply comment schedule condensed by two holidays, 
and the need for at least one of the movants to transition to new legal 
clinic staff between now and the filing deadlines. Movants assert that 
``a brief extension would provide the organizations and their counsel 
sufficient time to finish developing a full array of comments on the 
broad range of important issues presented by the Fifth [FNPRM].'' No 
party has filed an opposition to the Movants' request.
    4. As set forth in 47 CFR 1.46, it is the policy of the Commission 
that extensions of time shall not be routinely granted. Nevertheless, 
the Bureau finds that Movants have shown good cause for an extension of 
the comment and reply comment deadlines and that the public interest 
will be served by extending the comment deadline to September 27, 2021 
and, extending the reply comment deadline to October 27, 2021.
    5. Under these circumstances, and in the interest of allowing all 
parties an opportunity to fully and meaningfully respond to the 
comments and expert reports filed in response to the Fifth FNPRM, the 
Bureau agrees that an extension of the reply comment deadline is 
warranted.
    6. This action is taken pursuant to delegated authority 47 CFR 
0.291.
