Does USAC seek recovery when there is a pending appeal?
No. USAC does not seek recovery when there is a pending appeal with USAC or the FCC. However, USAC may issue a DPL before it determines an appeal has been filed. Once USAC determines that an appeal has been filed, it will hold the recovery in abeyance. However, if the result of the appeal indicates that recovery is required, recovery will resume from where it left off. What happens if the debt is not repaid? If the debt is not paid within 30 days of the first DPL, your entity and all entities sharing the same Taxpayer Identification Number will be considered to be in “Red Light” status and therefore subject to the penalties associated with the Red Light Rule. If the debt is not satisfied within 60 days of the second DPL, the debt will be transferred to the FCC consistent with the requirements of the Debt Collections Improvement Act (DCIA).
