RESPONDENT’S MOTION TO RESCHEDULE ORAL ARGUMENT 

Pursuant to Rule 4.3(b) of the Commission’s Rules of Practice, 16 C.F.R. § 4.3(b), Respondent McWane, Inc. respectfully moves the Commission to reschedule the oral argument in 

this matter, which is currently scheduled to be held on August 7, 2013, to August 13, 2013, or a 

date thereafter, due to the unavailability of Respondent’s lead counsel and general counsel, as 

they will both be out of the country. Respondent has contacted Complaint Counsel and they take 

no position on this motion. 

Section 4.3(b) of the Commission’s Rules permits the Commission to “extend any time 

limit prescribed by the rules in this chapter” for “good cause shown.” 16 C.F.R. § 4.3(b). Good 

cause exists for this extension so that Respondent’s lead counsel and general counsel can participate in oral argument. Respondent therefore requests that the Commission reschedule oral argument for a date on or after August 13, 2013.
