MEDIA BUREAU ANNOUNCES FURTHER EXTENSION OF TIME FOR ENTITIES TO FILE DOCUMENTS INTO THEIR ONLINE PUBLIC INSPECTION FILES AND TO FILE CHILDREN’S PROGRAMMING REPORTS AND TELEVISION LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATIONS
On January 6, 2023, the Media Bureau announced an extension of time for filings required to be uploaded into the Commission’s Online Public Inspection File (OPIF) system. Media Bureau Announces Extension Of Time For Entities To File Documents Into Their Online Public Inspection Files¸ Public Notice, DA 23-16 (Jan. 6, 2023).
  As a result of ongoing technical issues adversely affecting the responsiveness of the OPIF and Licensing Management System (LMS), we further extend the deadline by which all broadcast, cable, and satellite entities must upload required documents into their OPIF, and extend the deadline for the Form 2100, Schedule H Annual Children’s Programming Report and Form 2100, Schedule 303S, Renewal of Broadcast Station License.  All of these documents that were due to be placed in an entity’s OPIF or filed through LMS since January 1, 2023, must be filed no later than February 28, 2023. See 47 CFR §§ 25.601, 25.701, 25.702, 73.3526 73.3527 and 76.1700.
  Extending these filing deadlines will not significantly impact the public’s or the Bureau’s review of a licensee’s compliance with the Commission’s rules.  While we are extending OPIF and LMS filing deadlines, we encourage licensees to file all documents as soon as practicable.
