EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE OPPOSITIONS TO 
REQUEST FOR STAY OF LEASED ACCESS ORDER 
MB Docket No. 07-42
Revised date for Oppositions:  April 11, 2008
On February 1, 2008, the Commission released a Report and Order revising rules pertaining to 
commercial leased access of cable channels.1 On March 28, 2008, the National Cable and 
Telecommunications Association (“NCTA”) filed a Request for Stay of the new rules governing rates for 
commercial leased access.2 On April 2, 2008, the Office of Communications, Inc. of the United Church 
of Christ (“UCC”) submitted a Motion for Extension of Time to file Oppositions to the NCTA stay 
request.3 While an Opposition to the NCTA stay request would be due April 4, 2008, UCC requests an 
extension until April 11, 2008.  On April 3, 2008, NCTA filed an Opposition to the UCC Motion.4
As set forth in Section 1.46 of the Commission’s Rules,5 the Commission’s policy is that 
extensions of time shall not be routinely granted.  In this case, however, an extension of the time for filing 
Oppositions to the NCTA stay request is warranted.  UCC notes that the NCTA stay request was not 
available until March 31, 2008, leaving UCC and other interested parties with only four days to respond.6  
Moreover, because the new rules governing leased access rates will not go into effect until May 31, 2008, 
we find that a one-week extension of the time for filing Oppositions will not prejudice any party.     
Accordingly, we hereby grant the Motion for Extension of Time filed by UCC in MB Docket No. 
07-42.  The time for filing Oppositions to the NCTA stay request is extended to April 11, 2008.
This action is taken pursuant to authority found in Sections 4(i), 4(j), and 303(r) of the 
Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. §§ 154(i), 154(j), and 303(r), 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.
