How will the government shutdown effect the FCC?

A

Amity

How will the government shutdown effect the FCC? Are technical changes, station filings, etc., etc. all on hold? Percentage of staff still on duty is ____? Anyone know?
 
CDBS has been pulled down, the page for tower information has been pulled down,,,many translator activities are hinged on the LPFM window, which I would say will be pushed back at this point,,you can't file a license to cover because CDBS is down,,,,you can sign an APA but can't file for transfer of control because of no CDBS,,,,,

CDBS being down is really handicapping me and I know many others,,it worked 24/7 before, including weekends,,so why the need to pull it down?
 
Why do think? Called the "Washington Monument" strategy--antagonize the maximum number of citizens as possible.

At least the WWII vets didn't put up with this--they just tore down the barricades at the WWII monument (which is outdoors and normally open 24/7 anyway).

No APA but my understanding is that you can file and proceed with an LMA. What I am unsure of is… for those that have already turned in their APA (already accepted for filing), does this shutdown affect the time period where the buyer/seller must wait for approval (assuming the FCC reopens sometime soon) or will the deal sail through as though the shutdown never occurred?
