ORDER
Adopted:  February 1, 2010 Released:  February 1, 2010
By the Chief, Office of Engineering and Technology:  
1. On November 25, 2009, the Office of Engineering and Technology released a Public Notice in 
the above captioned proceeding inviting proposals from entities seeking to be designated as a TV band 
device database manager.1  Nine parties submitted proposals by the January 4, 2010 due date.  Interested 
parties were invited to submit comments on the proposals by February 3, 2010 and reply comments by 
February 18, 2010. 
2. On January 27, 2010, the Association for Maximum Service Television, Inc. (“MSTV”) filed a 
request for a four business day extension of the comment deadlines.  MSTV states that additional time is 
necessary to allow for full and reasoned comment given the volume and complexity of the proposals.2
3. The Commission does not routinely grant extensions of time in rule making proceedings.  
However, we do believe that additional time is warranted in this case due to the number of proposals 
received and the complex technical issues raised therein.  Providing a short extension of the comment 
deadlines will provide interested parties with an opportunity to fully analyze and respond to the nine 
proposals filed.  
4. 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 comments in the above captioned proceeding IS 
EXTENDED to February 9, 2010, and the time period for filing reply comments IS EXTENDED to 
February 24, 2010.
