Huawei Asks FCC for More Time to Respond to NTIA Filing

Huawei asked for a seven-day extension to respond to an FCC Public Safety Bureau notice seeking comment on an NTIA network security letter (see 2006090057). Comments are due June 19 in docket 19-351. The comment period is “wholly insufficient to allow Huawei to digest, investigate and respond to the substantive and legal issues raised,” the company said in a filing posted Friday. Because of the pandemic, “many of the persons who will be involved in preparing responses to the NTIA Letter (including Huawei employees and outside counsel) are working from home,” Huawei said.
