ORDER
Adopted:  December 1, 2014 Released:  December 1, 2014
Extended Comment Filing Deadline:  January 12, 2015
Extended Reply Comment Filing Deadline:  January 26, 2015
By the Chief, Media Bureau: 
1. On October 10, 2014, the Commission released a Third Notice of Proposed Rulemaking 
in the above-captioned proceeding seeking comment on measures to facilitate the final conversion of 
LPTV and TV translator stations to digital service and considering additional means to mitigate the 
potential impact of the incentive auction and the repacking process on LPTV and TV translator stations.1  
A summary published in the Federal Register specified a deadline of December 29, 2014 for filing 
comments on the Third Notice and a January 12, 2015 deadline for filing reply comments.2 By this 
Order, we extend these filing deadlines until January 12, 2015 and January 26, 2015, respectively.
2. Although, it is the general policy of the Commission that extensions of time shall not be 
routinely given,3  because the comment dates fall after a major holiday, we find it in the public interest to 
provide a short two-week extension.  Such a short extension will enable interested parties sufficient 
opportunity to review and respond to the variety of issues raised by the Third Notice.  
  
1 Amendment of Parts 73 and 74 of the Commission’s Rules to Establish Rules for Digital Low Power Television,

2 See 79 Fed Reg. 70824 (11/28/14).  The original deadline for filing comments, December 28, 2014, falls on a 
Sunday and, therefore, comments are due on December 29, 2014.  See 47 C.F.R § 1.4.
