WnKINS0N) BARKER) KNAUER) Mr. Jose P. Albuquerque December 12, 2018 Page 2 Although the Commission does not routinely grant extensions of time.3 the circumstances justify an extension in this case. Upon receipt of the Division Letter, Hiber contacted NASA in order to obtain the current version of the DAS in order to fcilly respond to the questions posed in the Division Letter. In response, NASA informed Hiber that the clearance process to obtain the new software rna’ take several weeks which would cause Hiber to be unable to meet the December 20, 2018 deadline. Hiber has not received any additional infomiation about when it will obtain the current version of the DAS. A grant of the requested additional time is warranted to enable Hiber to fttlly respond to the Division Letter. For the foregoing reasons, Hiher requests the Commission to extend Hibers deadline for filing its response to the Division Letter to January 21, 2019. Sincerely, /s/ Lynne M. Montgomery Counsel If) Hther, Inc. Cc: Jose Albuquerque Stephen Duall See 47 C.E.R. § 1.46(a).
