The Commission received a request by Ad Hoc Telecommunication Users Committee to extend the comment and reply period from June 30, 1995 and July 28, 1995 to July 31, 1995 and August 30, 1995, respectively. The Commission granted the request for an extension of time for filing comments and replies.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Rules and Policies Regarding Calling Number Identification-- Caller ID; Order [CC Docket No. 91-281; DA 95-1453] Adopted: June 28, 1995 Released: June 29, 1995 By the Deputy Chief, Domestic Facilities Division, Common Carrier Bureau: 1. On May 4, 1995, the Commission adopted a Third Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, FCC 95-187, released May 5, 1995, seeking comment on proposals that Private Branch Exchange Systems (PBXs) and private payphones capable of delivering calling party number to the public switched telephone network also be capable of: (1) Delivering a privacy indicator when the user of a telephone served by the PBX dials *67, and (2) unblocking the transmission of their calling party number when the user dials *82. 2. The Commission has received a request by Ad Hoc Telecommunications Users Committee (Ad Hoc) to extend the comment and reply period in this proceeding from June 30, 1995 and July 28, 1995 to July 31, 1995 and August 30, 1995, respectively. In support of its request, Ad Hoc states that the questions addressed by the Notice raise technical and financial issues that require substantial time and resources to analyze and that an extension of time would result in a more useful and accurate record. Tele-Communications Association supports Ad Hoc's request asserting the need to engage in consultations with its PBX vendors to determine the feasibility and potential costs of the Commission's proposal will be time consuming. 3. As set forth in Sec. 1.46 of the Commission's Rules, 47 CFR 1.46, it is Commission policy that extensions of time not be routinely granted. We find, however, that petitioners have shown good cause for the requested extension. The public safety issues raised in this proceeding are obvious and significant: if private payphones and PBXs do not enable callers to indicate their privacy requests to switches in the public network, risks are created to calling parties. The technical complexity, as well as the privacy implications which must be considered in addressing the Notice's proposal, require that we ensure an adequate opportunity to develop a complete record. We agree that the public interest would be served by granting an extension of time in which to file comments and replies to the Notice. Accordingly, we will grant the requested relief. 4. Accordingly, it is ordered that the Request for Extension of Time filed by Ad Hoc is granted. 5. It is therefore ordered that the date for filing comments and replies to the Notice of Proposed Rule Making in this proceeding is extended to July 31, 1995 and August 30, 1995, respectively. 6. This action is taken pursuant to authority found in Sections 4(i) and 5(c) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended 47 U.S.C. 154(i) and 155(c), and authority delegated thereunder pursuant to Secs. 0.91, 0.204 (a)-(b) and 0.291 of the Commission's Rules, 47 CFR 0.91, 0.204 (a)-(b) and 0.291. 7.
