FCC Should Work With GAO on LPTV Study, Group Free Access and Broadcast Says

The FCC should use “great care” in replying to GAO requests for information about the incentive auction’s impact on low-power TV, Free Access and Broadcast Telemedia said in an ex parte filing Friday. FAB has requested similar information from the commission through a Freedom of Information Act request. “The GAO and the Comptroller General have significant authority to seek out and obtain all agency facts, trends, and analyses available from any agency on behalf of Congress under the Congress' Constitutional and the GAO's added statutory authority,” FAB said.
