PUBLIC NOTICE Federal Communications Commission 445 12th St., S.W. Washington, D.C. 20554 News Media Information 202 / 418-0500 Internet: http://www.fcc.gov TTY: 1-888-835-5322 DA 10-1127 June 23, 2010 CONSUMER & GOVERNMENTAL AFFAIRS BUREAU EXTENDS COMMENT DEADLINE FOR PUBLIC NOTICE ON MEASUREMENT OF MOBILE BROADBAND NETWORK COVERAGE AND PERFORMANCE (DA 10-998) GN Docket No. 09-158; CC Docket No. 98-170; WC Docket No. 04-36 Revised Comment Deadline: July 8, 2010 On June 1, 2010, the Bureau released a Public Notice seeking comment on measurement of mobile broadband network performance and coverage.1 The Public Notice required that comments be filed by July 1, 2010.2 On June 18, 2010, CTIA, The Wireless Association, filed a motion to extend the deadline for filing comments by 14 days.3 CTIA asks for the extension “to allow parties to meaningfully address the critical and substantial policy issues and complex technical questions presented in the [Public Notice]”.4 It is the policy of the Commission that extensions of time shall not be routinely granted.5 However, given the extensive scope of technical, methodological and policy issues covered in the Public Notice, we find that good cause exists to provide all parties a one-time extension of the comment deadline. We believe that a shorter extension than the petitioner requests will suffice; we therefore grant all parties a seven (7) day extension until July 8, 2010, to file comments. We expect that this extension will help parties develop complete and useful replies. Pursuant to sections 1.415 and 1.419 of the Commission’s rules,6 interested parties may file comments and reply comments regarding the Notice on or before the dates indicated on the first page of this document. All filings related to this Public Notice should refer to CG Docket No. 09-158, CC Docket No. 98-170 and WC Docket No. 04-36. Comments may be filed using: (1) the Commission’s Electronic Comment Filing System (ECFS), (2) the Federal Government’s eRulemaking Portal, or (3) by filing paper copies.
