 I.  INTRODUCTION 
 1.  On  February  13,  2003,  the  Wireline  Competition  Bureau  (Bureau)  released  a  Public  Notice  in  this  matter,  which  stems  from  a  primary  jurisdiction  referral  brought  before  the 
1
 Federal  Communications  Commission  DA  03-  635 
 2 
 Commission  in  July  of  1996.  1  The  Public  Notice  seeks  comment  on  two  issues  concerning  AT&  T’s  Tariff  FCC  No.  2  in  effect  in  January  1995.  2  The  Public  Notice  established  comment 
 and  reply  comment  deadlines  of  March  6,  2003  and  March  17,  2003,  respectively.  On  February  28,  2003,  Mr.  Al  Inga,  the  owner  of  petitioners  Winback  &  Conserve  Program,  Inc.,  One  Stop 
 Financial,  Inc.,  Group  Discounts,  Inc.,  and  800  Discounts,  Inc.,  requested  extensions  of  time  to  March  27,  2003,  and  April  10,  2003,  respectively,  to  file  comments  and  reply  comments  in  this 
 proceeding.  3  No  party  has  opposed  this  request. 
 2.  We  hereby  grant  Mr.  Inga’s  request  for  extension  of  time  to  file  comments  and  reply  comments.  It  is  the  policy  of  the  Commission  that  extensions  of  time  are  not  routinely 


 granted.  4  We  find,  however,  that  there  is  good  cause  to  extend  the  due  dates  for  filing  comments  and  reply  comments  to  the  Public  Notice.  Specifically,  Mr.  Inga  notes  that  this  matter  has  been 
 inactive  for  several  years  and  states  that  it  may  take  him  some  time  to  locate  files  and  to  reacquaint  himself  with  the  details  of  the  matter  in  order  to  respond  to  the  request  for  additional 
 comments.  5  A  short  extension  of  time  will  permit  a  more  informed  response  to  the  Public  Notice  and  will  not  prejudice  any  party. 


 3.  Accordingly,  we  grant  Mr.  Inga’s  request.  Parties  may  file  comments  by  March  27,  2003  and  reply  comments  by  April  10,  2003.  This  matter  shall  continue  to  be  treated  as  a 
 “permit-  but-  disclose”  proceeding  in  accordance  with  the  Commission’s  ex  parte  rules.  6  All  other  requirements  discussed  in  the  Public  Notice  remain  in  effect.  For  further  information, 
 please  contact  Judith  Nitsche,  Pricing  Policy  Division,  Wireline  Competition  Bureau,  (202)  418-  1540. 


 4.  ACCORDINGLY,  IT  IS  ORDERED  that,  pursuant  to  sections  4(  i),  4(  j),  and  5(  c)  of  the  Communications  Act,  47  U.  S.  C.  §§  154(  i),  154(  j),  155(  c),  and  sections  0.91,  0.291,  1.46 
 of  the  Commission’s  rules,  47  C.  F.  R.  §§  0.91,  0.291,  1.46,  the  request  for  extension  of  time  filed  by  Mr.  Al  Inga  IS  GRANTED.
