Wireline Bureau Extends Filing Deadline During E-rate Productivity Center Blackout

The FCC Wireline Bureau extended until Nov. 8 the deadline for E-rate participants with any form or program process deadline that must be filed with the E-rate productivity center (EPC) between Tuesday and Nov. 7, said a public notice Friday in docket 02-6. The bureau said the Universal Service Administrative Co. is consolidating its schools and library legacy invoicing system into the EPC, causing the system to be unavailable to users during that time.
