ORDER
Extended Reply to Opposition Date: September 2, 2014
Adopted:  August 25, 2014        Released:  August 25, 2014
By the Chief, Office of Engineering and Technology:
On July 30, 2014, the Federal Register published the Commission’s Public Notice of Petitions for 
Reconsideration of Action in Rulemaking Proceedings (PN) in the above-captioned proceeding.
1
  The PN
established deadlines for filing oppositions to the petitions and replies to those oppositions of August 14, 
2014 and August 25, 2014, respectively.  On August 20, 2014, the Association of Global Automakers, 
Inc. (Global) requested that the deadline for filing replies to oppositions be extended by eight days 
because the oppositions to Global’s petition for partial reconsideration raised complex issues regarding 
the nature and potential negative outcome of the Commission’s expansion of the 5750-5850 MHz band.
2
Global states that extending the deadline for reply to oppositions would provide parties with additional 
time to evaluate the record regarding various technologies and the proposed rules and to prepare 
submissions enabling the Commission to make a decision based on a fully developed record.
As set forth in Section 1.46(a) of the Commission's Rules,
3
the Commission's policy is that 
extensions of time shall not be routinely granted. Given the importance and relative complexity of the 
issues in this proceeding, however, we find that good cause exists to provide all parties an extension of 
the reply comment deadline to facilitate the development of a full and complete record.  
Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 4(i), 4(j) and 5(c) of the 
Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. §§ 154(i), 154(j), 155(c) and Sections 0.31, 0.241, 
and 1.46 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. §§ 0.31, 0.241, and 1.46, the deadline for filing replies to an 
opposition in response to the Public Notice for Petitions for Reconsideration of Action in Rulemaking 
Proceedings in ET Docket No. 13-49 IS EXTENDED to September 2, 2014.
