Summary of the Order
1. On March 24, 2003, the Association for Maximum Service
Television, Inc. (MSTV) submitted a motion to the Commission to extend
the comment and reply comment deadlines in the above captioned
proceeding by 10 days, from April 7, 2003, and May 6, 2003, to April
17, 2003, and May 16, 2003, respectively. MSTV states that additional
time is required to permit review and discussion of its comments by its
board of directors before they can be approved and filed with the
Commission.
2. The Commission does not routinely grant extensions of time in
rule making proceedings. However, we find MSTV's circumstances
compelling and we believe that providing more time will enable MSTV to
submit information that will be beneficial to the record in this
proceeding. In addition, such a brief extension will not cause undue
delay. Therefore, we agree to extend the comment and reply comment
deadlines by 10 days.
3. The deadline for filing comments in the above captioned
proceeding is extended to April 17, 2003, and that the deadline for
filing reply comments in the above captioned proceeding is extended to
May 16, 2003.
4. This action is taken pursuant to the authority found in section
4(i) and 303 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C.
154(i) and 303; and pursuant to Sec. Sec. 0.31, 0.241 and 1.46 of the
Commission's rules, 47 CFR 0.31, 0.241 and 1.46.
