Comments Due March 31 on USTelecom, Verizon ACP Petitions

The FCC Wireline Bureau wants comments by March 31 on separate petitions filed by USTelecom and Verizon on affordable connectivity program rules, said a public notice Wednesday in docket 21-450. USTelecom sought a 60-day extension for participating providers to comply with the program's non-usage tracking rule. Verizon sought a 60-day extension for its subsidiary Tracfone to prepare its systems to offer the monthly benefit for "certain prepaid mobile broadband services priced below $30 and above $30" (see 2203220051). It didn't seek additional time for plans priced at $30.
