Now Open, FCC Delays Until Feb. 8 Deadlines on What Was Due Jan. 8-Feb. 7
The now-open FCC delayed deadlines until Feb 8 for all filings that would have been due Jan. 8-Feb. 7. Also, filings that were due from Jan. 2 (the start of the agency's closure) through Jan. 7 remain due Wednesday, said a Tuesday afternoon public notice. It supersedes the commission's earlier guidance.
"While we recognize that the above schedule does not afford an extension of time equal to the length of the shutdown in all cases, we believe these extension periods are reasonable under the circumstances, including the fact that many electronic systems remained available to the public during the suspension of operations," the new PN said. "Staff will consider requests for further extensions in individual matters as appropriate."
A few other categories of filings have different deadlines.
