How to File Comments with FCC on ACM’s Petition for Declaratory Ruling
DEADLINE: Midnight, March 9, 2009
The procedure for filing comments at the FCC in docketed proceedings using its Electronic Comment Filing System (ECFS) is a very simple 3-step process, as follows.
1. Access the FCC’s ECFS submission page at
http://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/prod/ecfs/upload_v2.cgi;
2. Complete the “Cover Sheet” on that page, which is just basic information such as the name and address of the filer, the proceeding/docket number, and the type of document being filed (you do this online);
[ Proceeding Number: 09-13 (it is not necessary to include “MB”)
Name of Applicant/Petitioner: the name of the filing party
Ex-parte/late filed should NOT be checked. Ignore the “File Number” on Line 13. ]
3. Attach the document in either PDF or Word format (you are directed where to do this in a section following the Cover Sheet) and then hit the “Send Attached File to FCC” button. Alternatively, for brief comments, you can actually just type them in on the space provided, in which case you hit the “Send Brief Comment to FCC’ button instead.
That’s all there is to it. A detailed 26-page manual re the ECFS and electronic filing can be accessed at http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/ecfs/ecfsmanual/completemanual.pdf if you would like additional information
