The FCC’s Wireline Competition Bureau (Bureau) has announced its Eligible Locations Adjustment Process (ELAP) window for Connect America Fund (CAF) Phase II support recipients to seek reductions in their deployment obligations (and associated CAF-II support) for areas where there are fewer actual locations than originally identified by the FCC in Auction 903. ELAP participants may submit information between April 1 and August 3, 2021 using the High Cost Broadband Portal. After the four-month window, challenges may be filed by stakeholders and then the Bureau will adjudicate the requested adjustments.
