FCC Extends Comment and Reply Comment Deadlines in Special Access Rulemaking

In this Order, the Wireline Competition Bureau grants in part a request jointly filed by the United States Telecom Association (USTelecom) and the Independent Telephone & Telecommunications Alliance (ITTA) seeking an extension of time to submit comments and reply comments in the special access (also referred to as business data services) rulemaking proceeding. We extend the deadline to submit comments to January 6, 2016 and reply comments to February 5, 2016. This limited extension will give parties valuable, additional time to review the sizeable amount of data collected in the proceeding for comments to help inform the Commission’s special access reform efforts in the underlying rulemaking proceeding.
