OFFICE OF ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY EXTENDS COMMENT PERIOD FOR
METHODOLOGY FOR PREDICTING POTENTIAL INTERFERENCE BETWEEN 
BROADCAST TELEVISION AND WIRELESS SERVICES
ET Docket No. 14-14
GN Docket No. 12-268
Comment Date: March 17, 2014
On January 29, 2014, the Office of Engineering & Technology (“OET”) released a Public Notice
in this docket seeking comment on a methodology for predicting potential interference between broadcast 
television and licensed wireless services.  In a jointly filed “Motion for Extension of Time,” the National 
Association of Broadcasters (“NAB”), ABC Television Affiliates Association, CBS Television Network 
Affiliates Association, FBC Television Affiliates Association, NBC Television Affiliates, The Walt 
Disney Company, 21st Century Fox, Inc., NBCUniversal Media, LLC, CBS Corporation, Univision 
Television Group Inc., Association of Public Television Stations (“APTS”), and Public Broadcasting 
Service (“PBS”) ask pursuant to section 1.46 of the Commission’s Rules
1
that the comment deadline be 
extended by 30 days from the original deadline of February 28, 2014.
2
  As described below, we grant in 
part the joint request to extend the comment filing deadline with regard to comments to the Public Notice
of the inter-service interference methodology.
It is the Commission's policy under Section 1.46(a) that extensions of time are not routinely 
granted.  In the instant case, however, we find that extending the comment period for remarks on the 
inter-service interference methodology and questions posed in the Public Notice will serve the public 
interest by allowing commenters additional time to review the technical contents of the PN and its 
appendix.  Accordingly, we hereby extend the deadline for filing comments to March 17, 2014.  This 
action is taken pursuant to authority found in Section 4(i) of the Communications Act of 1934, as 
amended, 47 U.S.C. § 154(i), and in the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. §§ 0.31, 0.241, and 1.46.

NBCUniversal Media, LLC, CBS Corporation, Univision Television Group Inc., Association of Public Television
