CG Docket No. 10-51
ORDER DENYING REQUEST FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE COMMENTS
Adopted:  August 12, 2010 Released:  August 12, 2010
By the Chief, Consumer and Governmental Affairs Bureau:
1. On June 28, 2010, the Commission released a Notice of Inquiry (NOI) in the above 
captioned matter seeking comments on issues concerning video relay service.1 Comments are due on 
August 18, 2010; reply comments are due on September 2, 2010.  On July 26, 2010, CSDVRS, LLC, 
Convo Communications, LLC, Purple Communications, Inc. and Snap Telecommunications, Inc. 
(Petitioners) filed a motion to extend the comment period to ninety days after publication in the Federal 
Register and to extend the reply comment period to forty-five days after the comments are due.2
2. It is the policy of the Commission that extensions of time shall not be routinely granted.  
We find that Petitioners have not stated sufficient grounds for departure from Commission policy.  We 
point out that the Commission released the NOI three weeks before publication in the Federal Register, 
effectively adding that period to the time within which parties could prepare their comments.  In addition, 
because this is a Notice of Inquiry, parties will have an additional comment cycle after release of a notice 
of proposed rulemaking that will enable more focused discussion.
3. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, that the Motion for Extension of Comment Period, filed 
by CSDVRS, LLC, Convo Communications, LLC, Purple Communications, Inc. and Snap 
Telecommunications, Inc., IS DENIED.
4. This action is taken pursuant to the authority provided in Section 1.46 of the 
Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. § 1.46, and under delegated authority pursuant to Sections 0.141 and 0.361 
of the Commission’s Rules, 47 C.F.R. §§ 0.141, 0.361.
