ORDER
Extended Reply Comment Date:  July 21, 2014
   Adopted:  July 11, 2014 Released:  July 11, 2014
By the Deputy Managing Director:
1. On June 13, 2014, the Commission released a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking and 
Second Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (Notice) seeking comment on proposed regulatory fees 
for fiscal year 2014.
1
  The Commission set deadlines for filing comments and reply comments of July 7, 
2014 and July 14, 2014, respectively.
2. On July 9, 2014, the American Cable Association (ACA) filed a request to extend the 
reply comment deadline until July 21, 2014.
2
  ACA states that an extension of time is warranted in order 
to allow parties to develop the record in response to other comments filed in this proceeding.
3
  ACA 
observes that numerous parties have filed comments in this proceeding and an extension of time will 
allow the Commission to develop a more complete record.
4
3. We grant the request for an extension of time.  As set forth in section 1.46 of the 
Commission’s rules,
5
the Commission’s policy is that extensions of time for filing comments in

Assessment and Collection of Regulatory Fees for Fiscal Year 2014, Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, Second
Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, and Order, MD Docket Nos. 14-92, 13-140, and 12-201, FCC 14-88 (rel. 
June 13, 2014) (Notice).

See American Cable Association, Motion for Extension of Time to File Reply Comments, MD Docket Nos. 14-92, 
13-140, and 12-201 (filed July 9, 2014) (ACA Motion for Extension of Time).   Technically the motion was not 
timely filed  under 47 C.F.R. 1.46(b) because it was filed fewer than the seven days in advance of the deadline for 
reply comments.  We find, however, that an extension of time is warranted for the reasons stated above and that for 
the same reasons there is good cause to waive the seven-day filing rule.  Therefore we accept and act upon the ACA 
Motion for Extension of Time.

47 C.F.R. § 1.46.
Federal Communications Commission DA 14-987
rulemaking proceedings shall not be routinely granted.  In this case, however, an extension of time for the 
reply comment period is warranted for the reasons identified by ACA.  Specifically, we find that an 
extension of the reply comment deadline to July 21, 2014 is warranted to provide commenters with 
sufficient time to prepare reply comments that fully respond to the issues raised in the Notice and to 
comments filed thereto.
4. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to section 4(i) of the Communications Act 
of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. § 154(i), and sections 0.11, 0.231, and 1.46 of the Commission’s rules, 
47 C.F.R. §§ 0.11, 0.231, and 1.46, there is good cause to accept the late-filed Motion for Extension of 
Time to File Reply Comments filed by the American Cable Association, this Motion IS GRANTED, and 
the deadline to filed reply comments in this proceeding is extended to July 21, 2014.
