WIRELINE COMPETITION BUREAU EXTENDS DEADLINE FOR FILING OPPOSITIONS 
TO SOUTHERNLINC PETITION FOR RECONSIDERATION TO OCTOBER 14, 2010
WC Docket No. 05-337; CC Docket No. 96-45
On September 3, 2010, the Commission released the Corr Wireless Order, which addressed a 
petition requesting review of a Universal Service Administrative Company decision.1 On September 30, 
2010, SouthernLINC filed a petition for reconsideration of the Corr Wireless Order,2 and on October 4, 
2010, Allied Wireless Communications, Inc., et al., did as well.3 Pursuant to section 1.106 of the 
Commission’s rules, oppositions to the SouthernLINC petition would be due on October 12, 2010, while 
oppositions to the Allied petition would be due on October 14, 2010.4
In order to avoid unnecessary duplication of efforts by parties filing oppositions to the two related 
petitions, the Wireline Competition Bureau extends to October 14, 2010, the deadline for filing 
oppositions to the SouthernLINC petition.5 This will permit parties to address both petitions in a 
comprehensive and unified manner.  Replies to the oppositions will be due seven days after the 
oppositions are filed, consistent with section 1.106(h) of the Commission’s rules.6

SouthernLINC Petition, at 1 (citing 47 C.F.R. § 1.429).  However, section 1.429 applies to petitions for 
reconsideration in rulemaking proceedings.  Because the Corr Wireless Order was not part of a rulemaking 
proceeding, section 1.106, which governs petitions for reconsideration generally, applies.
