<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:red">While this does provide some stress relief, I strongly, emphatically recommend that you not delay your filing unless you have to. If you can file, do so as soon as you are ready. If you need extra time for data entry
or are waiting for additional guidance from USAC, this extension will take some of that pressure off. That said, be warned that the USAC system is still unstable, and may not be able to handle a huge influx of last minute filers. I can also say with 99% certainty
that they WILL NOT extend this window again, so if they have technical issues on the last day to file, don’t be surprised if they tell you “tough luck”. DON’T WAIT! :)
