Federal Communications Commission’s 

website: https://apps.fcc.gov/ecfs/. 

Follow the instructions for submitting 

comments. 

I. Synopsis 

1. By this Order, the Public Safety and 

Homeland Security Bureau (PSHSB) 

grants in part Motions filed by (1) a 

‘‘Joint Trade Association’’ and (2) a 

coalition of organizations including the 

Alliance for Automotive Innovation; 

Information Technology Industry 

Council (ITI); National Electrical 

Manufacturers Association (NEMA); 

Security Industry Association (SIA); and 

U.S. Chamber of Commerce (Coalition). 

The Motions seek an extension of time 

for filing comments and reply comments 

in response to the Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking (NPRM) in PS Docket No. 

23–239 that was released on August 10, 

2023. See ‘‘Joint Trade Assn Request for 

Extension of Comment Deadline,’’ PS 

Docket No. 23–239 (filed Aug. 31, 

2023)(Joint Trade Association Motion). 

See also ‘‘090623 Coalition Letter_FCC_

Extension of Comments_Final,’’ PS 

Docket No. 23–239 (filed Sept. 6, 

2023)(Coalition Motion). For the reasons 

stated below, PSHSB finds that the 

extension requests within the Motions 

are warranted in-part and thus extends 

the comment and reply comment 

deadlines to October 6, 2023, and 

November 10, 2023, respectively. 

2. On August 10, 2023, the 

Commission released the NPRM seeking 

comment on a proposed voluntary 

cybersecurity labeling program to 

provide consumers with clear 

information about the security of their 

Internet of Things (IoT) devices. 88 FR 

58211 (Aug. 25, 2023). The NPRM seeks 

comment on who should oversee and 

manage the program, how to develop 

the security standards that could apply 

to different types of devices or products, 

how to demonstrate compliance with 

those security standards, and how to 

safeguard the cybersecurity label against 

unauthorized use, amongst other 

considerations. Id. The summary of the 

Federal Register publication provides 

that comments must be filed on or 

before September 25, 2023, and reply 

comments must be filed on or before 

October 10, 2023. Id. 

3. In the Joint Trade Association 

Motion, the Joint Trade Association 

requests a 30-day extension of the 

comment filing deadline, i.e., October 

24, 2023, and an extension of the reply 

comment deadline until 45 days after 

the comment filing deadline, i.e., 

December 8, 2023. Similarly, in the 

Coalition Motion, the Coalition requests 

the comment filing deadline to be 

extended to October 24, 2023, and the 

reply comment deadline extended to 

December 8, 2023. The Joint Trade 

Association supports their request by 

stating there is good cause to extend the 

deadlines due to ‘‘(1) the highly 

technical and complex nature of the 

NPRM, and (2) the breadth of affected 

stakeholders,’’ among other arguments. 

The Coalition supports their request by 

providing that the extensions are 

needed ‘‘to give the private sector 

sufficient time to assess the potential 

effects of the rulemaking and develop 

thoughtful comments for the 

Commission’s consideration,’’ among 

other arguments. No opposition to these 

Motions have been filed. 

4. The Commission grants a 11-day 

extension of time to file comments and 

extension of time to file reply comments 

in this proceeding until 35 days after the 

comment date. As set forth in section 

1.46 of the Commission’s rules, 47 CFR 

1.46, the Commission does not routinely 

grant extensions of time for filing 

comments. In this case, however, the 

extension requests are unopposed and 

will allow commenters sufficient time to 

file meaningful comments and reply 

comments and still provide a robust 

record on which the Commission can 

make a decision. Further, in view of the 

dozens of comments already received, 

extending the comment deadline 

beyond 11 days is unnecessary since a 

robust record will develop without 

needing a 30-day extension. Therefore, 

the Commission partially grants the 

unopposed Motions and extends the 

comment and reply comment deadlines 

to October 6, 2023, and November 10, 

2023, respectively. 

II. Ordering Clauses 

5. Accordingly, it is ordered that, 

pursuant to section 4(i) of the 

Communications Act of 1934, as 

amended, 47 U.S.C. 154(i), and sections 

0.204, 0.392, and 1.46 of the 

Commission’s rules, 47 CFR 0.204, 

0.392, 1.46, the Motions for Extension of 

Time are granted in part and otherwise 

denied. 

6. It is further ordered that the date to 

file comments and reply comments in 

response to the NPRM are extended to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

In 2014, we proposed to list the West 

Coast DPS of fisher (encompassing all 

fishers throughout California, Oregon, 

and Washington) as threatened under 

the Act (79 FR 60419, October 7, 2014). 

However, we withdrew that proposed 

rule on April 18, 2016 (81 FR 22710). 

The withdrawal was subsequently 

challenged by the Center for Biological 

Diversity, Environmental Protection 

Information Center, Klamath-Siskiyou 

Wildlands Center, and the Sierra Forest 

Legacy. The District Court for the 

Northern District of California 

remanded the Service’s final 

determination for reconsideration and 

preparation of a new determination. We 

reopened the comment period on 

January 31, 2019 (84 FR 645), followed 

by publication of a revised proposed 

listing rule on November 7, 2019, based 

on new information and a reevaluation 

of the best available information, 

including reconfiguration of multiple 

DPSs within the area previously 

described as a single DPS called the 

West Coast DPS of fisher (84 FR 60278). 

The new delineation of DPSs included 

two original native populations (the 

NCSO and Southern Sierra Nevada 

(SSN) DPSs) and three reintroduced 

populations (Northern Sierra Nevada, 

Southern Oregon Cascades, and the 

Olympic Peninsula). On May 15, 2020, 

we issued a final rule that added the 

SSN DPS as an endangered species to 

the List of Endangered and Threatened 

Wildlife, and we presented our finding 

that the NCSO DPS did not warrant 

listing under the Act (85 FR 29532). 

On September 13, 2022, the Center for 

Biological Diversity, Environmental 

Protection Information Center, and 

Klamath-Siskiyou Wildlands Center 

filed a complaint in the United States 

District Court, Northern District of 

California, alleging that our 

determination on the NCSO DPS of 

fisher violated the Act. Per the 

stipulated settlement agreement dated 

June 7, 2023, which the court approved 

on June 8, 2023, the Service will submit 

to the Office of the Federal Register by 

August 21, 2025, a new 12-month 

finding as to whether listing the NCSO 

DPS of fisher as an endangered or 

threatened species is warranted under 

the Act. The terms of the settlement 

agreement include publication of this 

document ‘‘as soon as practicable’’ to 

announce a public comment period 

seeking new information to assist with 

reevaluation of the NCSO DPS of fisher 

and preparation of a new determination. 

Additional information on Federal 

actions concerning the DPSs of fisher 

are outlined in the following Federal 

Register documents: a final rule of May 

15, 2020 (85 FR 29532) and a proposed 

rule of October 7, 2014 (79 FR 60419). 

Information Requested 

Although an analysis and biological 

report were completed in 2016 for 

fishers throughout Washington, Oregon, 

and California (Service 2016a, entire), a 

scientific analysis using the SSA 

framework (which considers the 

principles of resiliency, redundancy, 

and representation; Service 2016b, 

entire) has not been developed for the 

NCSO DPS of fisher. New information 

from 2016 through 2019 was 

incorporated into our May 15, 2020, 

final rule (85 FR 29532). We will 

reevaluate the information already 

included in our files, along with any 

new information received, for an SSA. 

At this time, we are seeking new 

information that has become available 

after 2019 regarding the NCSO DPS of 

fisher. The range of this DPS for which 

we seek information is approximately 

southwest Oregon (west of Klamath 

Falls and south of approximately the 

Rogue River), the northern California 

coast as far south as Point Reyes 

National Seashore and inland through 

the Northern Coast Ranges of California,
