By the Chief, Wireline Competition Bureau:
1. On October 2, 2007, the Commission released a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking 
(NPRM) in the above-captioned proceeding seeking comment on a variety of issues related to access 
stimulation.1  The NPRM was published in the Federal Register on November 15, 2007, and as a result, 
comments in response to the NPRM were due on December 17, 2007 and reply comments are due on 
December 31, 2007.2  
2. On December 19, 2007, FUTUREPHONE.COM, LLC., the National 
Telecommunications Cooperative Association and the Independent Telephone and Telecommunications 
Alliance, and CTIA – the Wireless Association filed Motions for Extension of Time requesting an 
additional fourteen or sixteen days within which to file reply comments in this proceeding.3 In support of 
the motions, the petitioners collectively note that, given the holidays which occur between the current 
comment and reply comment due dates, the parties will be unable to review the extensive record and 
prepare fully responsive reply comments.  The motions request that the Commission extend the time for 
filing all reply comments to January 14, 2008, or January 16, 2008.

3. We find that providing an additional sixteen days to file reply comments in this 
proceeding will facilitate the development of a more accurate and complete record.  We note that it is the 
policy of the Commission that extensions of time shall not be routinely granted.4 Given the complexity of 
the issues that are raised, the large number of comments that were filed, and the intervening holidays, 
however, we find that good cause exists to provide all parties an extension of time from December 31, 
2007 to January 16, 2008 for filing reply comments in this proceeding.
4. ACCORDINGLY, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to section 4(i), 4(j), and 5(c) of the 
Communications Act, 47 U.S.C. §§ 154(i), 154(j), 155(c), and section 0.91, 0.291, and 1.46 of the 
Commission’s rules, 47 C.F.R. §§ 0.91, 0.291, 1.46, reply comments in this matter shall be filed on or 
before January 16, 2008.  
5. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the motions of FUTUREPHONE.COM, LLC., the 
National Telephone Cooperative Association and the Independent Telephone and Telecommunications 
Alliance, and CTIA – the Wireless Association for Extension of Time ARE GRANTED, as set forth 
herein.
