By this Order, we grant, in part, a motion ("Motion") filed by Time Warner Entertainment Company, L.P. ("Time Warner"),requesting an extension of time for filing reply comments in the above-captioned matter. The deadline for reply comments is extended from June 16, 1997 until June 23, 1997. 2. The Commission released a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in this docket seeking comments on proposals to implement Section 629 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. 549, concerning the commercial availability of navigation devices. Pursuant to applicable procedures set forth in  1.415 and 1.419 of the Commission's Rules, interested parties were to file comments on or before May 16, 1997, and reply comments on or before June 16, 1997. 3. On May 27, 1997, Time Warner filed a motion for extension of time to file reply comments. Time Warner asserts that such an extension is warranted for two reasons. First, it claims that because the Commission's subcontractor responsible for processing comments, has been behind schedule in compiling a docket listing and making the comments available to the public, it and other interested parties have been unable to timely obtain some of the comments making it difficult to respond in a timely manner. Second, Time Warner claims that this docket is highly technical and presents difficult policy and business issues. Time Warner states that it is hopeful that during this extended reply comment period discussions between various interested parties may lead to a consensus on various matters and thereby narrow the issues for resolution by the Commission. Time Warner requests an additional 45 days to respond to the comments. 4. We find that good cause exists to extend the reply comment period for one week to make up for that period of time that the comments were not available to the public. While we do not discourage the parties from attempting to meet to attempt to narrow the issues in this proceeding, we are mindful to avoid undue delay in this proceeding. Therefore, we believe that a one week extension to the reply period is reasonable here. 5. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, that the Motion for Extension of Time ISGRANTED, to the extent noted herein, and that reply comments in this matter shall be filed no later than June 23, 1997. 6. This action is taken pursuant to delegated authority under Section 0.321 of the Commission's rules. FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION Meredith J. Jones Chief, Cable Services Bureau
