PUBLIC NOTICE Federal Communications Commission 445 12th St., S.W. Washington, D.C. 20554 News Media Information 202 / 418-0500 Internet: http://www.fcc.gov TTY: 1-888-835-5322 DA 13-954 Released: April 26, 2013 WIRELINE COMPETITION BUREAU ANNOUNCES BRIEF DELAY IN ACTIVATION OF STUDY AREA BOUNDARY COLLECTION SITE WC Docket No. 10-90 WC Docket No. 05-337 On March 18, 2013, the Wireline Competition Bureau (Bureau) announced that state commissions and incumbent local exchange carriers (ILECs) could begin submitting study area and exchange boundary data on April 29, 2013.1 As a result of unanticipated administrative and technical issues, there will be a brief delay in the availability of the electronic submission system. The Bureau will release a Public Notice as soon as the system is available to receive submissions, which we expect to be no later than Thursday, May 2. Because we anticipate that the delay in the availability of the system will be brief, the submission deadlines will remain the same. Therefore, state commissions filing study area boundary data are required to submit and certify the data no later than June 28, 2013 at https://sab.fcc.gov/state/login/. Individual ILECs serving study areas for which a boundary will not be submitted by a state must submit and certify the required data on the study area(s) they serve by May 23, 2013 at https://sab.fcc.gov/ilec/login/. Additional Information Additional information on the study area boundary data collection can be found on the Commission’s study area boundary webpage at http://www.fcc.gov/encyclopedia/study-area-boundary- data-collection. Specific questions about the requirements may be sent to StudyAreaBoundaries@fcc.gov.
