FCC Wireline Bureau Denies Blanket Waiver of Healthcare Connect Fund Invoicing Deadline

The FCC Wireline Bureau denied requests from Community Hospital Corp. and Interfacing Co. of Texas to waive the FY 2022 invoice filing deadline for all Healthcare Connect Fund program participants. In an order Monday in docket 02-60, the bureau noted it has granted individual waivers and will continue doing so "where good cause exists." It's "inappropriate to grant a widespread waiver when an individualized approach to addressing requests for waivers is available and more suitable for the circumstances," the order said.
