1.
We have received two requests for an extension of time in which to file comments and
reply comments in response to the Commission's Notice of Inquiry ("NOI") in the above-referenced
proceeding.1 The first request was filed December 29, 2009 by the Association of National Advertisers,
the American Advertising Federation, the American Association of Advertising Agencies, the Direct
Marketing Association, the Interactive Advertising Bureau, and the Promotion Marketing Association.2
The second request for an extension of time was filed January 7, 2010 by the Children's Food and
Beverage Advertising Initiative and the Children's Advertising Review Unit of the Council of Better
Business Bureau's, Inc.3 Both filings request that the comment and reply comment dates be extended by
thirty days each in order to permit preparation of full responses to the multiple issues raised in this
proceeding, particularly in light of the intervening year-end holidays that fell in the middle of the current
comment period.4

We believe that granting the requests for extension of time will facilitate the compilation
of a more complete record in this proceeding. We conclude, therefore, that doing so is in the public
interest. Accordingly, parties will have until Wednesday,
February 24, 2010
to file comments and untilFriday,
March 26, 2010
to file reply comments.1 See Notice of Inquiry, In the Matter of Empowering Parents and Protecting Children in an Evolving Media
Landscape, MB Docket No. 09-194, FCC No. 09-194 (rel. Oct. 23, 2009).
