Background

    On June 24, 2015, the Commission released a public notice extending 
the deadlines for filing comments and reply comments in response to 
Section IV.B of the Special Access FNPRM (78 FR 2600, January 11, 2013) 
in the Commission's special access rulemaking proceeding until 
September 25, 2015 and October 16, 2015, respectively. Previous comment 
period extensions have been published in the Federal Register. The 
latest comment period extension was published in the Federal Register 
on April 27, 2015 (80 FR 23248), to extend the comment and reply 
comment deadlines to July 1 and July 22, 2015, respectively. On 
December 11, 2012, the Commission adopted an order requiring providers 
and purchasers of special access service and certain entities providing 
``best efforts'' service to submit data and information for a 
comprehensive evaluation of the special access market. In Section IV.B 
of the Special Access FNPRM accompanying that order, the Commission 
sought comment on potential changes to its rules governing the special 
access services provided by incumbent local exchange carriers in price 
cap areas. The Bureau is in the process of allowing access to the data 
collected for interested parties to review pursuant to restrictions 
found in the previously issued protective order, but has yet to make 
the data available. As a result, interested parties will not have 
adequate time to access and review the information collected prior to 
the current July 1 and July 22, 2015 comment and reply comment 
deadlines.
    Accordingly, the Bureau hereby further extends the deadline for 
filing comments to September 25, 2015, and for filing reply comments to 
October 16, 2015.
