              CHAPTER I--FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
 
PART 1--PRACTICE AND PROCEDURE--Table of Contents
 
           Subpart A--General Rules of Practice and Procedure
 
Sec. 1.46  Motions for extension of time.

    (a) It is the policy of the Commission that extensions of time shall 
not be routinely granted.
    (b) Motions for extension of time in which to file responses to 
petitions for rulemaking, replies to such responses, comments filed in 
response to notice of proposed rulemaking, replies to such comments and 
other filings in rulemaking proceedings conducted under Subpart C of 
this part shall be filed at least 7 days before the filing date. If a 
timely motion is denied, the responses and comments, replies thereto, or 
other filings need not be filed until 2 business days after the 
Commission acts on the motion. In emergency situations, the Commission 
will consider a late-filed motion for a brief extension of time related 
to the duration of the emergency and will consider motions for 
acceptance of comments, reply comments or other filings made after the 
filing date.
    (c) If a motion for extension of time in which to make filings in 
proceedings other than notice and comment rule making proceedings is 
filed less than 7 days prior to the filing day, the party filing the 
motion shall (in addition to serving the motion on other parties) orally 
notify other parties and Commission staff personnel responsible for 
acting on the motion that the motion has been (or is being) filed.
