The petition was filed by a Coalition of E-Reader Manufacturers. The Bureau granted the temporary waiver until January 28, 2014. During this temporary waiver period, the FCC will evaluate the merits of the petition and decide whether to grant or deny the waiver request.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Links to the Order:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>PDF: <a href="http://hraunfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/DA-13-2039A1.pdf">http://hraunfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/DA-13-2039A1.pdf</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Word: <a href="http://hraunfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/DA-13-2039A1.docx">http://hraunfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/DA-13-2039A1.docx</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Text: <a href="http://hraunfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/DA-13-2039A1.txt">http://hraunfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/DA-13-2039A1.txt</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal>For more information, contact Eliot Greenwald at <a href="mailto:eliot.greenwald@fcc.gov">eliot.greenwald@fcc.gov</a> or (202) 418-2235, or Elaine Gardner at <a href="mailto:elaine.gardner@fcc.gov">elaine.gardner@fcc.gov</a> or (202) 418-0581 in the FCC’s Disability Rights Office.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
