On December 13, 2018, the Media Bureau released a Public Notice seeking comment on the joint proposal submitted by the National Association of Broadcasters and NCTA – The Internet and Television Association  in the above docket. Media Bureau Seeks Comment on Industry Proposal for Carriage Election Notice Modernization, MB Docket No. 17-317, Public Notice, DA 18-1250 (MB December 13, 2018).
  The comment and reply deadlines established by that Public Notice fell during a lapse in funding, and by operation of the General Counsel’s January 28, 2019 Public Notice, the deadlines for both would be extended to the same day – January 30, 2019. Suspension of Filing Deadlines, Public Notice, DA 19-20 (OGC January 28, 2019).
