E-Rate Central reports that "USAC announced last week that the FCC had instructed it to begin issuing automatic invoice deadline extensions, effective as for FY 2012 FRNs." Though I can't find any written announcement, E-RC is reporting that if you miss the invoicing deadline (120 day from the last date of service or the filing of the Form 486, whichever is later), you'll get an automatic one-year extension.
I'm all for that! It kind of makes the invoice deadline meaningless, but I guess if USAC told people they had to file their BEAR within 485 days of the end of the funding year, a lot would wait until the 484th day.
So far this streamlining thing seems to be going really well.
Funds for Learning says that the automatic extension was announced on the April 3rd service provider conference call.
