For those of you trying to figure out the changes and extensions to various FCC filing deadlines, the FCC's own site (www.fcc.gov) can be your best resource; cross-checking with your communications lawyer is also wise. As of this post, the most recent guidance (January 29, 2019) can be found at: docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/DA-19-26A1.pdf but keep checking back with the FCC's site to stay up to date.
