Background

    In Section IV.B of the FNPRM accompanying the Data Collection 
Order, adopted on December 11, 2012, the Commission sought comment on 
possible changes to its rules for the business data services provided 
by incumbent local exchange carriers in price cap areas. The Commission 
set the comment deadlines on this portion of the Special Access FNPRM, 
78 FR 2600 (Jan. 11, 2013), several months beyond the document's 
release date to allow interested parties opportunity to review the data 
and information collected before filing comments. The Bureau has 
extended these deadlines, upon request and in consideration of 
oppositions filed in response to the request for extensions of time, to 
allow interested parties adequate time to access and review the data 
and information collected. Accordingly, the deadline for filing 
comments is extended to January 6, 2016, and the deadline for reply 
comments is extended to February 5, 2016.
