ORDER
Adopted:  August 3, 2007 Released: August 6, 2007
Comment Date:  September 14, 2007
Reply Comment Date:  October 9, 2007
By the Deputy Chief, Policy Division, Media Bureau:
1. On July 30, 2007, the National Cable & Telecommunications Association (“NCTA”) filed an 
application for review of the Media Bureau’s decision in the above-captioned proceeding.1  Section
1.115(d) of the Commission’s rules2 states that oppositions to applications for review are due 15 days 
after the filing of an application for review and that replies to oppositions are due 10 days after 
oppositions are filed, which would set deadlines of August 14, 2007 for oppositions to the application for 
review and August 24, 2007 for replies to those oppositions.
2. On July 30, 2007, the Consumer Electronics Association (“CEA”) and NCTA filed a joint 
motion seeking an extension of time to file oppositions and replies to oppositions, making the deadlines 
September 14, 2007 and October 9, 2007, respectively.3  CEA and NCTA state that interested parties 
  
1 Application for Review of National Cable & Telecommunications Association (filed July 30, 2007).  NCTA seeks 
Commission review of the Bureau’s decision in National Cable & Telecommunications Association Request for 
Waiver of Section 76.1204(a)(1) of the Commission’s Rules, DA 07-2920 (MB rel. June 29, 2007), in which the 
Media Bureau denied NCTA’s request for waiver of Section 76.1204(a)(1) of the Commission’s rules for all cable 
operators.
2 47 C.F.R. § 1.115(d).
3 Consumer Electronics Association and National Cable & Telecommunications Association Joint Motion for 
Extension of Time (filed July 30, 2007).

need more time to respond to NCTA’s application for review of the Bureau’s order because the deadlines 
imposed by Section 1.115(d) of the Commission’s rules would interfere with the ability of interested 
parties to prepare comments in response to the Commission’s Third Further Notice of Proposed 
Rulemaking regarding the Implementation of Section 304 of the Telecommunications Act of 1996.4
3.  Given that replies to oppositions to NCTA’s application for review are due the same day that 
comments are due in response to the Two-Way Plug-and-Play NPRM and the issues in these two 
proceedings are related, good cause exists to grant a limited extension of time.  Therefore, we extend the
deadline for filing oppositions to the application for review to September 14, 2007, and the deadline for 
filing replies to those oppositions to October 9, 2007.
4.   Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Sections 4(i), 4(j) and 5(c) of the 
Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. §§ 154(i), 154(j) and 155(c), and Sections 0.61, 
0.283, and 1.46 of the Commission’s rules, 47 C.F.R. §§ 0.61, 0.283, and 1.46, the date for filing 
oppositions to the application for review in CSR-7056-Z, which pertains to NCTA’s request for waiver of 
Section 76.1204(a)(1) of the Commission’s rules, 47 C.F.R. § 76.1204(a)(1), is extended to September
14, 2007, and the date for filing replies to oppositions to the application for review in CSR-7056-Z is 
extended to October 9, 2007.
