The Coalition for Emergency Response and Critical Infrastructure and other groups are challenging the order, while the Public Safety Spectrum Alliance is protesting aspects of it. In March, the D.C. Circuit declined to stay the order (see 2503190069). Under the proposed schedule, opening briefs would be due June 3 under the schedule, response briefs Aug. 4 and final briefs Sept. 17.
