On Dec. 18, 2014, the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau released an order granting a petition by T-Mobile USA, Inc. for a declaratory ruling regarding data roaming. 1 Two parties, AT&T Services, Inc. (“AT&T”) and Verizon, 2 have filed applications for review of the declaratory ruling. 3 AT&T filed its application for review on Jan. 16, 2015, and Verizon filed its application for review on Jan. 20, 2015. Under the Commission’s rules, oppositions to an application for review must be filed within 15 days after the application for review is filed. 4 Accordingly, oppositions to the AT&T application for review would be due on Feb. 2, 2015, and oppositions to the Verizon application for review would be due on Feb. 4, 2015. We establish a single date, Feb. 4, 2015, as the deadline for filing all oppositions to applications for review in this proceeding. This deadline gives parties a short extension of time – two additional days – to review and respond to the arguments in AT&T’s application for review. We note that the time period for filing oppositions to AT&T’s application for review includes the federal holiday on Jan. 19, 2015, when many offices were closed, and we find that this limited extension of time will help to ensure that the 1 Reexamination of Roaming Obligations of Commercial Mobile Radio Service Providers and Other Providers of Mobile Data Services, WT Docket No. 05-265, Declaratory Ruling, DA 14-1865 (WTB, released Dec. 18, 2014). 2 The application for review states that the companies participating in the filing are Verizon Wireless and the regulated wholly-owned subsidiaries of Verizon Communications Inc. 3 See Application for Review of AT&T, WT Docket No. 05-265 (filed Jan. 16, 2015); Verizon Application for Review, WT Docket No. 05-265 (filed Jan. 20, 2015). 4 47 C.F.R. § 1.115(d). 2Commission obtains a complete and thorough record on the issues raised in the applications for review.

We note that the Commission’s rules provide that replies to oppositions shall be submitted within 10 days of the filing of the oppositions. 5 For administrative convenience, we establish Feb. 19 as the deadline for filing replies. 6 Accordingly, pursuant to Sections 4(i) and 4(j) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 7 and Sections 0.131 and 0.331 of the Commission's rules, 8 we establish the deadlines for filing oppositions and replies as stated herein.
