I. Synopsis
1. The Public Safety and Homeland
Security Bureau (PSHSB) grants a
Motion filed by the Edison Electric
Institute (EEI) seeking an extension of
10 days to file comments and reply
comments in response to the notice of
proposed rulemaking in PS Docket Nos.
21–346 and 15–80 and ET Docket No.
04–35 that was released on October 1,
2021 (NPRM), and published in the
Federal Register on November 5, 2021.
See Motion of Edison Electric Institute
for Extension of Time, PS Docket Nos.
21–346 and 15–80, ET Docket No. 04–
35 (filed Nov. 19, 2021) (Motion). For
the reasons stated below, PSHSB finds
that EEI’s request is warranted and thus
extends the comment and reply
comment dates to December 16, 2021
and January 14, 2022, respectively.
2. On September 30, 2021, the
Commission adopted the NPRM seeking
comment on proposed rules to improve
communications reliability during
disasters. 86 FR 61103 (Nov. 5, 2021)
(summarizing the NPRM). The NPRM
seeks comment on the wireless
industry’s disaster response framework,
the Commission’s network outage
reporting rules, and strategies to reduce
the impact of power outages on
communications networks. The
summary of the NPRM, published in the
Federal Register on November 5, 2021,
indicates that comments must be filed
on or before December 6, 2021, and
reply comments must be filed on or
before January 4, 2022. Id.
3. On November 19, 2021, EEI filed
the Motion to request a 10-day
extension of the comment and reply
comment filing deadlines, to December
16, 2021, and January 14, 2022,
respectively. EEI states that these
deadlines should be extended ‘‘to
ensure that there is sufficient time to
conduct consultations with respective
member companies to prepare reasoned
comments and reply comments that
meaningfully address the broad range of
issues presented by the NPRM.’’ EEI
notes that November 25th was the
Thanksgiving holiday and that that the
Christmas and New Year’s holidays are
on December 25th and January 1st,
PO 00000
Frm 00024
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 9990
respectively, and that ‘‘this is a period
when many organizations are closed
and vacations are taken.’’ EEI states that,
without an extension, it would be
challenging to ‘‘build industry
consensus before submitting
comments.’’ EEI contends that an
extension of 10 days will not result in
any meaningful delay in the proceeding
and will result in more focused and
better reasoned comments. EEI
represents that CTIA, NCTA—The
internet and Television Association, and
USTelecom—The Broadband
Association support the Motion and that
the National Association of Broadcasters
has no objections to it. No opposition to
the Motion has been filed.
4. The Commission grants a 10-day
extension of time to file comments and
reply comments in this proceeding. As
set forth in § 1.46 of the Commission’s
rules, 47 CFR 1.46, the Commission
does not routinely grant extensions of
time for filing comments. In this case,
however, the extension is unopposed,
limited to only ten days, and will allow
commenters sufficient time to file
meaningful comment and reply
comments given the intervening
holidays. The Commission therefore
grants EEI’s unopposed Motion and
extends the comment and reply
comment deadlines to December 16,
2021, and January 14, 2022,
respectively.
II. Ordering Clauses
5. Accordingly, it is ordered that,
pursuant to section 4(i)–(j) of the
Communications Act of 1934, as
amended, 47 U.S.C. 154(i)–(j), and
§§ 0.204, 0.392, and 1.46 of the
Commission’s rules, 47 CFR 0.204,
0.392, 1.46, the Motion for Extension of
Time filed by EEI is granted.
6. It is further ordered that the date to
file comments and reply comments in
response to the NPRM are extended to
December 16, 2021, and January 14,
2022, respectively.
