[ET Docket No. 93-7; DA 94-120]

 

Compatibility Between Cable Systems and Consumer Electronics 
Equipment

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Proposed rule; extension of reply comment period.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Commission's Chief Engineer has extended the time for 
filing reply comments in response to the Notice of Proposed Rule Making 
(Notice) in ET Docket No. 93-7, FCC 93-495 (58 FR 64541, December 8, 
1993). The document sets forth proposals for rules to assure 
compatibility between cable systems and consumer TV receivers and 
videocassette recorders.

DATES: Reply comments must be filed on or before February 16, 1994.

ADDRESSES: Federal Communications Commission, 1919 M Street, NW., 
Washington, DC 20554.

Alan Stillwell (202-653-8162), Office of Engineering and Technology.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On February 2, 1994, the Consumer 
Electronics Group of the Electronics Industries Association (EIA/CEG) 
requested that the Commission extend the time for filing reply comments 
in response to the Notice of Proposed Rule Making in ET Docket No. 93-7 
by one week, to February 16, 1994. The EIA/CEG states that a one week 
extension of the period for filing reply comments is needed because of 
the number, length and diversity of the comments.
    The Commission does not routinely grant extensions of time. 
Moreover, in this instance time is very important as the Commission has 
a statutory deadline to adopt rules for assuring compatibility by April 
3, 1994. Nonetheless, we agree with the EIA/CEG that the volume and 
diversity of the comments warrants additional time for preparing 
replies. We believe the relatively brief 7-day extension the EIA/CEG 
requests is consistent with both the task of preparing comments and our 
need to complete this matter expeditiously.

 Federal Communications Commission.
William F. Caton,
Acting Secretary.
