WIRELESS TELECOMMUNICATIONS BUREAU EXTENDS PERIOD 
TO FILE COMMENTS AND REPLY COMMENTS ON ClearRF REQUEST FOR 
DETERMINATION OF EQUIVALENT PROTECTION
WT Docket No. 10-4
Comment Date:  March 27, 2014
Reply Comment Date:  April 3, 2014
By this Public Notice, we extend the deadline for filing comments and reply comments on the 
ClearRF request for a determination of equivalent protection (ClearRF Request),
1
to allow parties to more 
thoroughly address the technical issues raised in the Request.  Interested parties now will have until 
March 27, 2014, to file comments and April 3, 2014, to file reply comments.
2
On March 18, 2014, CTIA – The Wireless Association (CTIA) filed a request to extend the
comment and reply comment deadlines on the ClearRF Request by 7 days, to March 27, 2014 and April 
3, 2014, respectively.
3
  CTIA seeks an extension of time to allow for a thorough technical evaluation of 
ClearRF’s assertions that its Consumer Signal Booster, ClearRF Model Number WRE2710, provides 
equivalent protections to the Commission’s Network Protection Standard even though it does not meet 
the technical standards in Section 20.21(e)(8)(i)(B) and 20.21(e)(8)(i)(C)(2)(iii) of the Commission’s 
rules.
4
  CTIA maintains that additional time is needed to conduct “critical interference and other 
technological analyses,” which will allow for a more thorough record in this proceeding.
5
It is the general policy of the Commission that extensions of time shall not be routinely granted.
6
  
However, under these circumstances, we agree that a brief extension of time to file comments and reply 
comments is warranted to ensure that parties have sufficient time to undertake the necessary technical
