Before the

CC Docket No·. 91·281 
In the Matter of 
Rules and Policies Regarding 
Calling Number Identification 
Service - Caller ID 
Adopted: January 16, 1996; Released: January 16, 1996 
ORDER EXTENDING DEADLINE 
FOR REPLY COMMENTS 
Reply Comment Date: January 30, 1996 
1. In a Founh Notice of Proposed Rulemaking released 
December 1, 1995, the Commission sought comment on 
proposed modifications to its caller ID rules concerning 
blocking and unblocking capabilities. See Order and Fourth 
Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, Rules and Policies Regard­
ing Calling Number ldentification Service--Caller ID, CC 
Docket No. 91-281, FCC 95-480 (released December I, 
1995). Comments were due December 27, 1995, and reply 
comments were due January 10. 1996. Due to the govern­
ment shutdown and the weather emergency, however, the 
Commission was closed on these dates. 
2. In a public notice released January 11, 1996 (DA 
96-2), the Commission announced that "any documents 
that were due to be filed with the Commission ... while it 
was closed, whether for the budget-related shutdown or the 
subsequent weather emergency, will be due no tater than 5:30 
p.m. on Tuesday, January 16, 1996." (emphasis in origi­
nal). The filing deadline for the comments, therefore, is 
subject to the January 16 date imposed by that notice. 
3. The public notice released on January I I. however, 
did not address a situation in which both comments and 
replies were due while the Commission was closed. By this 
Order, the filing deadline for reply comments is extended 
to January 30, 1996. 
4. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that the date for filing 
reply comments to the Fourth Notice of Proposed 
Rulemaking in this proceeding IS EXTENDED to January 
30. 1996. 
5. This action is taken pursuant to authority found in 
Sections 4(i) and 5(c) of the Communications Act of 1934. 
as amended, 47 U.S.C. §§ 154(i) and 155(c). and authority 
delegated thereunder pursuant to Sections 0.91, 0.204 
(a)-(b) and 0.291 of the Commission's Rules, 47 C.F.R. H 
0.91, 0.204(a)-(b) and 0.291.
