CPUC Extends CASF 2023 Deadlines

Due to delays releasing a state broadband map, the California Public Utilities Commission again postponed this year’s deadlines for California Advanced Services Fund infrastructure account Wednesday. In a letter to stakeholders, CPUC Executive Director Rachel Peterson said the agency will delay the applications deadline by one month to June 1. The CPUC pushed back associated deadlines by the same amount, including challenges now due July 6 and agency action on applications now coming Feb. 29. The agency released its new map earlier this month (see 2304100048). The CPUC earlier extended the deadlines by one month because it said multiple service providers had submitted data late (see 2303220053).
