WB Extends CAF II ELAP Deadlines, Modifies Process

The FCC Wireline Bureau extended until May 13 the Connect America Fund Phase II eligible locations adjustment process (ELAP) registration deadline for prospective stakeholders, said a public notice Tuesday in docket 10-90 (see 2111290050). It also modified the challenge filing window to May 20 through Aug. 18. The bureau also made two changes to "simplify" the ELAP process, it said. Objections to an acknowledgement of confidentiality must file an objection "through an FCC-accredited account" that's managed by the Universal Service Administrative Co. The bureau will "share certified stakeholder information with participants ... directly through the ELAP module" instead of repopulating the ELAP map with stakeholder information.
