Relax. Yesterday was a federal holiday. The FCC never said a date publicly. NLR is not a .gov or .edu.
Government works slow.

What year? Today is the 20th!
I know. Something smells. Especially with the lack of authoritative output from the Commission. They're usually good about putting out "stuff" regarding their operations. Time to email a Congress critter's staffers and ask if they could look into what's happening. They literally drop everything to respond to Congressional inquiries. I can't imagine the revenue-bearing users of ULS are very happy as they can't do any online filings.

It's back online now.

I just did a couple searches and it looks like the last PLMR license grants were on June 12 and the last applications were received on June 9.
I saw last night that parts (only parts) of the FCC are back up and somewhere it said no updates were there since June 10. It was clear they are still working on things and it would take a while. (Some parts still just freeze up.) I suggest people give it several more days rather than being frustrated.

I'm thinking at least those were ones that were recorded into a recovery backup. I wonder how many applications fell into the abyss. (Channeling the owl eating a Tootsiepop, "The world may never know.")

I just checked ( 9:20 pm Eastern 21 JUN) and still parts of the FCC site are down. Those state:
"Universal Licensing, Tower Construction Notification, E-106, and Antenna Structure Registration Systems are available for most filings; for additional guidance and information refer to Public Notice DA 23-529. The Query download feature in ULS searches remain unavailable. We will update this message when the Query download feature is available."

Whomever the FCC has managing those systems is utterly imcompetent. It was back up last week, but then went down while I was querying it. And since then, every time I've attempted to use Application Search it errors out. They really need some help there.

Incompetency? Was the original issue Ransomware and they aren't telling us?
