-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Commission grants a request for extension of time of the
period for filing responses to opposition petitions for reconsideration
concerning federal policies for interstate transmission of calling
party number identification. This action was taken as a result of a
motion filed by the People of the State of California and the Public
Utilities Commission for the State of California. The action is taken
to allow time for complete responsive comments.
DATES: The date for filing responses in this proceeding is extended to
August 17, 1994.
ADDRESSES: Federal Communications Commission, Washington, DC 20554.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Suzanne Hutchings, Domestic Services Branch, Common Carrier Bureau,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Order Granting Motion for Extension of Time To File Comments
Adopted: July 15, 1994.
Released: July 15, 1994.
By the Chief, Domestic Facilities Division:
1. On March 8, 1994, the Commission adopted a Report and Order and
Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, FCC 94-59, released March 28,
1994, adopting rules to establish a federal policy regarding calling
number identification. Public notice of this action appeared in the
Federal Register on April 18, 1994, 59 FR 18318. Petitions for
reconsideration of the Report and Order were filed May 18, 1994, and
notice of the filing of these petitions appeared in the Federal
Register on June 23, 1994, 59 FR 32430.
2. On July 11, 1994, the People of the State of California and the
Public Utilities Commission for the State of California
(``petitioner'') filed a motion requesting that the time for filing
replies in the above-captioned proceedings be extended from July 18,
1994, to August 17, 1994. In support of its request, the State of
California and the California Public Utilities Commission states that
due to the voluminous record on reconsideration and the complexity of
the issues involved in the proceeding, a grant of the requested
extension is likely to improve the quality of the replies filed and
assist the Commission in its consideration of pending petitions for
reconsideration.
3. As set forth in Section 1.46 of the Commission's Rules, 47
C.F.R. Section 1.46, it is our policy that extensions of time not be
routinely granted. We find, however, that the State of California and
the California Public Utilities Commission have shown good cause for
the requested extension. In reviewing the record to date in this
proceeding, we agree with the State of California and the California
Public Utilities Commission that the public interest will be best
served by granting a 30 day extension of time to file replies to
oppositions to petitions for reconsideration in this proceeding.
Accordingly, we will grant the requested relief.
4. Accordingly, It Is Ordered that the Request for Extension of
Time filed by Petitioners Is Granted.
5. It Is Therefore Ordered that the date for filing replies to
oppositions to petitions for reconsideration in this proceeding IS
EXTENDED to August 17, 1994.
6. This action is taken pursuant to authority found in Sections 4
(i) and (r) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended. 47 U.S.C.
Sections 4(i) and 303(r) and Sections 0.204(b), 0.283 and 1.46 of the
Commission's Rules, 47 C.F.R. Sections 0.204(b), 0.283 and 1.46.
