By the Senior Deputy Chief, Policy Division, Media Bureau:
1. On November 25, 2005, Texas Instruments, Inc. (“TI”) filed a motion to extend the 
deadline for responding to a request for waiver of the Commission’s rule that requires cable operators to 
include an IEEE 1394 interface on all high definition set-top boxes.1 TI seeks a ten-day extension of the 
November 30, 2009 deadline for filing oppositions, to take into account that the deadline for responding 
to Intel’s waiver request falls on the Monday immediately following the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. 
2. Motions for extensions of time are not routinely granted.2 Nevertheless, we do 
occasionally grant limited extensions of time when we find that the public interest would be served by 
doing so.  In this case, we believe that granting TI’s motion is in the public interest.  Given that the 
Thanksgiving holiday effectively shortened the normal time for filing comments, and that the requested 
extension will not interfere with the Commission’s ability to timely consider the waiver request, we find 
that a modest ten-day extension is appropriate.  Parties therefore have until Thursday, December 10, 
2009 to file comments and until Monday, December 21, 2009 to file reply comments.
3. 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
