The American National Standards Institute Accredited Standards Committee C63 (ASC C63) asked the FCC to extend by two weeks a July 17 deadline for reply comments on a Feb. 12 NPRM on the commission’s equipment authorization program. The NPRM asked a battery of questions on possible changes to the commission’s Part 2 equipment rules, focusing in particular on the role played by Telecommunication Certification Bodies (http://bit.ly/19TSLBa). “ASC C63 recognizes that it is not the Commission’s policy to routinely grant extensions of time in rulemaking proceedings,” the filing said (http://bit.ly/12ELvPR). “However, a two-week extension of the reply comment period is warranted here in order to facilitate a more thorough consideration of the important issues raised and will not cause undue delay of the proceeding.”
