Presentations to FCC Disability Advisory Committee Not Subject to Ex Parte Rules

The FCC said presentations to the agency’s new Disability Advisory Committee won't be subject to commission ex parte rules, in a public notice Thursday . The DAC held its first meeting March 17 (see 1503170063), with a second set for June 23. “Presentations to the DAC, including to its subcommittees and working groups, and presentations between DAC members and FCC staff, will be treated as exempt presentations for ex parte purposes,” the FCC said. “This treatment is appropriate because presentations to the Committee will not directly result in the promulgation of new rules.”
