Synopsis of the Order 

1. On September 8, 2006, the 

Commission released the NPRM in WT 

Docket Nos. 06–169 and 96–86; FCC 06–

133, published at 71 FR 55149, 

September 21, 2006, seeking public 

comment regarding, inter alia, proposals 

on possible changes to the Part 27 

service rules applicable to existing and 

prospective Upper 700 MHz Guard 

Bands licensees as well as on proposals 

to modify the existing Upper 700 MHz 

band plan with respect to the Guard 

Bands. Deadlines for the filing of 

comments and reply comments were 

established as October 23, 2006, and 

November 6, 2006, respectively. 

2. On October 20, 2006, the State of 

Maryland, Commonwealth of Virginia, 

Loudoun County, Virginia, and the 

Region 20 Regional Planning Committee 

each filed a request for extension of time 

to submit comments in response to the 

NPRM. The parties argue that the NPRM 

raised complex issues, and assert that 

any change to the existing 700 MHz 

Public Safety band plan will affect their 

plans for public safety communications. 

The parties state that they require 

additional time to more thoroughly 

analyze the complex issues raised, and 

request extensions of time ranging from 

‘‘no less than 30 days’’ to 60 days in 

which to file comments. 

3. Motions for extension of time will 

not be granted routinely. In addition, 

the Commission’s rules require that 

motions for extensions of time shall be 

filed 7 days before the filing date. In an 

emergency situation, the Commission 

may consider a late-filed motion for a 

brief extension of time related to the 

duration of the emergency. Pursuant to 

the Commission’s rules, extension 

requests were due by October 16, 2006, 

in this matter. The parties, however, did 

not submit motions for extension of 

time until October 20, 2006, nor did 

they provide sufficient information 

upon which the Commission may grant 

emergency relief. The Commission 

therefore concludes that it is unable to 

extend the comments deadline of 

October 23, 2006. 

4. However, in order to provide all 

interested parties with a full and fair 

opportunity to participate in this 

proceeding, the Commission finds that 

it is in the public interest to extend the 

reply comment deadline by 7 days until 

November 13, 2006. While the 

Commission finds that it is appropriate 

to provide additional time in order to 

build a more thorough and complete 

record, it is also cognizant of the 

concerns raised by the public safety 

community that the Commission 

address the issues raised in this 

proceeding in a prompt and timely 

manner. Accordingly, by extending the 

reply comments deadline by 7 days, the 

Commission strikes a balance between 

providing commenters with adequate 

time in which to respond to the NPRM, 

and ensuring that this proceeding is 

resolved expeditiously. In this regard, it 

should be noted that the Commission 

does not anticipate granting further 

extensions to the reply comments 

deadline. 

5. Pursuant to sections 1.415 and 

1.419 of the Commission’s rules, 47 CFR 

1.415, and 1.419, interested parties may 

file reply comments on or before 

November 13, 2006. Comments may be 

filed using: (1) The Commission’s 

Electronic Comment Filing System 

(ECFS), (2) the Federal Government’s 

eRulemaking Portal, or (3) by filing 

paper copies. See Electronic Filing of 

Documents in Rulemaking Proceedings, 

63 FR 24121, May 1, 1998. 

• Electronic Filers: Comments may be 

filed electronically using the Internet by 

accessing the ECFS: http://www.fcc.gov/ 

cgb/ecfs/ or the Federal eRulemaking 

Portal: http://www.regulations.gov. 

Filers should follow the instructions 

provided on the Web site for submitting 

comments. 

• For ECFS filers, if multiple docket 

or rulemaking numbers appear in the 

caption of this proceeding, filers must 

transmit one electronic copy of the 

comments for each docket or 

rulemaking number referenced in the 

caption. In completing the transmittal 

screen, filers should include their full 

name, U.S. Postal Service mailing 

address, and the applicable docket or 

rulemaking number. Parties may also 

submit an electronic comment by 

Internet e-mail. To get filing 

instructions, filers should send an email to ecfs@fcc.gov, and include the 

following words in the body of the 

message, ‘‘get form.’’ A sample form and 

directions will be sent in response. 

• Paper Filers: Parties who choose to 

file by paper must file an original and 

four copies of each filing. If more than 

one docket or rulemaking number 

appears in the caption of this 

proceeding, filers must submit two 

additional copies for each additional 

docket or rulemaking number. 

Filings can be sent by hand or 

messenger delivery, by commercial 

overnight courier, or by first-class or 

overnight U.S. Postal Service mail 

(although the Commission continues to 

experience delays in receiving U.S. 

Postal Service mail). All filings must be 

addressed to the Commission’s 

Secretary, Office of the Secretary, 

Federal Communications Commission. 

• The Commission’s contractor will
