ORDER
Adopted:  April 22, 2009 Released:  April 22, 2009 
By the Chief, Office of Engineering and Technology:  
1. On November 4, 2008, the Commission adopted a Second Report and Order and Memorandum 
Opinion and Order (“Second Report and Order”) in the above captioned proceeding.1 Seventeen parties 
filed petitions for reconsideration in response to the Second Report and Order.  A Public Notice 
announcing these petitions was released on April 6, 2009.2 Oppositions to the petitions are due on or before 
April 28, 2009, and replies to oppositions are due on or before May 8, 2009.
2. On April 20, 2009, Public Knowledge, on behalf of the Ad Hoc Public Interest Spectrum 
Coalition (“PISC”) filed a request for a 10 day extension of the deadlines for filing oppositions and replies 
to oppositions to the petitions for reconsideration.  PISC requests an extension so that petitioners and 
respondents have adequate time to prepare oppositions and replies.3
3. The Commission does not routinely grant extensions of time in rule making proceedings.  
However, we do believe that additional time is warranted due to the number of petitions received and the 
many complex issues raised in this proceeding.  Providing a short extension of the deadlines will provide 
parties an opportunity to fully analyze and respond to the petitions for reconsideration and any 
oppositions filed.  Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to the delegated authority contained in 47 
C.F.R. §§ 0.31 and 0.241(a), that the time period for filing oppositions to petitions for reconsideration in 
the above captioned proceeding IS EXTENDED to May 8, 2009, and the time period for filing replies to 
oppositions IS EXTENDED to May 18, 2009.
