The order set April 1, 2012, as the initial due date for the new Section 54.313 reports (Order, paragraph 581), but in a subsequent order issued on February 3, 2012, the FCC modified certain Section 54.313 filing deadlines to comply with the requirements of the federal Paperwork Reduction Act.2 The effect of the February 3, 2012, order was to delay the 2012 Section 54.313 reporting requirement until further notice. On May 8, 2012, the FCC issued a Public Notice in the Federal Register announcing May 8, 2012, as the applicability date for certain provisions of Section 54.313 and notifying ETCs and other stakeholders that information filed pursuant to Sections 54.313(a)(2) through (a)(6) and (h) must be filed by July 2, 2012. The attached report for 2012 will be filed with the FCC on July 2, 2012.
