2nd Window Is for Late, New ECF Applicants

The FCC Wireline Bureau directed Universal Service Administrative Co. to review and process during the second filing window those Emergency Connectivity Fund applicants that certified and submitted their application after the initial filing window's Oct. 13 deadline, said a public notice Tuesday. These applicants aren't required to resubmit their applications or file a request for waiver of the initial deadline. The bureau doesn't expect to grant waivers of the second deadline "absent a showing of extraordinary circumstances."
