# FCC USF and ICC Reform NPRM Comments Due April 1

 March 2, 2011

 

 

 

 

 

 

The FCC’s February 9, 2011 Universal Service Fund (USF) and Intercarrier Compensation (ICC) Reform NPRM was published in this morning’s [Federal Register](https://s3.amazonaws.com/cdn.kelleydrye.com/content/uploads/blogs/comm-law-monitor/2011/03/2011-4399.pdf) (FR). This is the triggering event for establishing the actual comment due dates set forth in the item. Here are the deadlines:

**Comments on Section XV** (ICC ​“Immediate Reform”, including VoIP classification, phantom traffic and traffic stimulation): 30 days from FR publication / **April 1**

**Reply Comments on Section XV** (ICC ​“Immediate Reform”, including VoIP classification, phantom traffic and traffic stimulation): 45 days from FR publication / **April 18**

**Comments on all Sections other than XV**: 45 days from FR publication / **April 18**

**Comments of State Members of the Federal-State Joint Board on Universal Service**: 59 days from FR publication / **May 2**

**Reply Comments on all Sections other than XV**: 80 days from FR publication / **May 23**

And the ​“ex parte” round is likely to rage all summer long....
