> In the wake of the disruption caused after Hurricane Ida struck the
> Gulf Coast of the US as a Category 4 storm on Sunday, August 29, the
> FCC has announced that it is extending certain filing deadlines for
> those in Louisiana and Mississippi unable to meet them due to the
> storm. President Joseph Biden issued an emergency declaration for
> Mississippi on August 28 and a major disaster declaration for
> Louisiana on August 29.
> 
> Pursuant to its authority to waive rules for good cause and to
> alleviate any additional burden that may be caused by FCC filing
> requirements and regulatory deadlines, the FCC has extended certain
> deadlines occurring August 29 - September 30, 2021, inclusive, for
> affected licensees and applicants in the affected areas.
> 
> The FCC is defining "affected areas" as the Louisiana parishes and
> Mississippi counties that the Federal Emergency Management Agency
> (FEMA) has designated as eligible for Individual or Public
> Assistance for the purposes of federal disaster relief as of Friday,
> September 3, which includes all parishes and counties in those
> states. The deadline extension does not apply to individuals living
> elsewhere in the US.
> 
> For affected licensees and applicants in Louisiana and Mississippi,
> the FCC has extended until October 1 any deadlines currently set
> within the period August 29 - September 30, 2021, inclusive, with
> respect to Wireless Radio Service applications, notifications, and
> reports pursuant to Parts 1 (Subpart F only), 13, 20, 22, 24, 27,
> 30, 74 (excluding Subparts G, and L), 80, 87, 90, 95, 96, 97, or 101
> of the Commission's rules, including, but not limited to, filings
> regarding certain minor license modifications, license renewals, and
> notifications of construction.
> 
> Licensees and applicants making delayed filings in accordance with
> this extension must include with those filings a certification made
