The FCC Media Bureau extended deadlines for an Further NPRM on closed captioning to July 9 for comments and Aug. 8 for replies, the bureau said in a public notice Tuesday (http://bit.ly/SUrJm1). The FNPRM was issued in response to a petition for reconsideration on IP captions (CD April 19 p11) from Telecommunications for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing and several other consumer groups representing the hearing impaired. The deadline was extended from June 25 for comments and July 25 for replies at the request of NCTA, the bureau said.
