The FCC will transition to its new Electronic Comment Filing System (ECFS) on
Monday, June 20. This will be a "hard launch;" the legacy system will no longer
be available after the transition. All documents in the legacy system will be
accessible in the new system, and saved links (bookmarks or favorites) to
documents and proceedings should not need to be adjusted. This modernization
project is expected to significantly improve the resiliency and performance of
ECFS. The Commission will continue to take feedback and improve the system
leading up to and following this transition.
"[T]o best ensure that this important public engagement system is fully
functional during regular business hours, the Commission will take down the
legacy ECFS application starting at 11:59 PM ET on Friday, June 17, and the
system will be unavailable through the weekend," the FCC said in a Public
Notice. "The Commission plans for the new system to be available and fully
operational by 8 AM ET on Monday, June 20. The old ECFS system will not be
available once the new one is operational, but all files will be accessible in
the new system."
The FCC said if it runs into any "unforeseen delays," it will issue a Public
Notice on the front page of its website[1], to inform users. Since the new ECFS
is expected to be fully operational during all FCC business hours, the agency
does not plan any changes to any deadlines.
