In this Order, we grant the GLR Motion requesting an extension of time until August 29, 2018, to respond to the Petition to Deny GLR’s Application for a 325(c) Permit to Deliver Programs to Foreign Broadcast Stations filed by Chinese Sound of Oriental and West Heritage.1 Based on the record before us, we find that good cause exists to grant an extension of time until August 29, 2018 for the applicant to respond to the record in this proceeding. 2. On July 9, 2018, the Commission accepted GLR’s Application for a 325(c) Permit to Deliver Programs to Foreign Broadcast Stations for filing and placed the application on 30-day public notice for comment.2 On August 8, 2018, Chinese Sound of Oriental and West Heritage filed a Petition to Deny the application.

Federal Communications Commission DA 18-872 3. Section 1.46 of the Commission’s rules provides that “[i]t is the policy of the Commission that extensions of time are not routinely granted.”5 We find, however, that there is good cause to extend the due date for filing an Opposition in response to the Petition to Deny by Chinese Sound of Oriental and West Heritage (Petitioner). Extending the deadline until August 29, 2018 will ensure that the applicant has adequate time to review and respond to the issues and questions raised in the record. Additionally, the Petitioner has been notified of the extension request, and the Applicant stated that the Petitioner would “interpose no objection to the grant of this extension.”6 We expect that this extension will result in a more robust record to inform the decision-making process, serving the public interest. 4. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to sections 4(i), 4(j), and 5(c) of the Communications Act, as amended, 47 U.S.C. §§ 154(i), 154(j), and 155(c), and sections 0.261, 1.45, and 1.46 of the Commission’s rules, 47 CFR §§ 0.261, 1.45, and 1.46, that GLR’s Motion for Extension of Time filed on August 17, 2018 IS GRANTED, and the deadline for filing the Opposition is extended until August 29, 2018.
