  • 2021-00190 — Modernizing the E-Rate Program for Schools and Libraries
    Type:Rule
    Citation:86 FR 9025
    Reading Time:about 8 minutes

    The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has updated its E-Rate program invoicing rules, allowing schools and libraries more time to complete invoice submissions. Participants now have 120 days to submit invoices after receiving a decision on post-commitment requests or appeals. This change aims to make the program run more smoothly and to help schools and libraries access essential communication services without facing unnecessary obstacles. Additionally, the FCC is offering a one-time waiver opportunity for participants who missed submitting invoices due to delays in processing their requests.

    Simple Explanation

    The FCC made a new rule so schools and libraries have more time, 120 days, to send in their bills for internet services, making it easier for them to get the help they need without rushing. They also gave a one-time chance to catch up for those who missed the deadline before, like giving an extra turn in a game if someone needed more time.

    Type:Rule
    Citation:90 FR 11804
    Reading Time:about 56 minutes

    The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has issued new instructions and forms for annual reports from companies providing communication services to incarcerated individuals. These revisions stem from the Martha Wright-Reed Act, aiming to ensure fair pricing and better communication access. The changes reduce some reporting burdens for companies while maintaining the FCC's ability to monitor pricing and trends. Additionally, the 2025 report deadline has been extended to June 2, 2025, to give service providers additional time to adjust to the new requirements.

    Simple Explanation

    The FCC wants to help keep phone calls for people in jail fair and affordable, and they're giving companies extra time to learn new rules by 2025, but they have to make sure everything is reported correctly.
