FCC Extends Comment Deadlines on Two Incentive Auction NPRMs

The FCC said it will provide more time for comments on key incentive auction NPRMs -- on Part 15 unlicensed operations and wireless mics. The FCC had been under industry pressure to delay the filing deadlines (see 1412080075). Comments were due Jan. 5, replies Jan. 26. The new deadlines are Feb. 4 and Feb. 25. “We believe that extensions of the comment and reply comment deadlines will provide parties with an opportunity to more fully analyze and respond to the complex technical issues raised in the Notices, thus allowing development of a more complete record in these proceedings,” the FCC said Wednesday.
