NTAD’s failure to finalize its submission before the deadline “was based on its inability to provide the required certifications as a result of circumstances outside of its control,” the FCC said. Kurt Friesen, who was the sole owner and certifying engineer, “died less than a month before the opening of the filing window, and it was not possible prior to the March 3, 2025, filing deadline for the new owner to appoint herself as a corporate officer and then to retain a new individual with the credentials, education, and training necessary to provide the engineering certification required,” the FCC found.
