FCC to Tackle January Items Feb. 14, Moved Up to Beat Possible Shutdown

The FCC is transplanting its former Wednesday agenda to the February commissioners’ meeting and moving that Feb. 21 meeting up by a week to take place before the Feb. 15 end of the continuing resolution funding the government, said a tentative agenda Tuesday morning.

“Because the agency is currently funded under a Continuing Resolution that runs through February 15, the FCC’s statutorily-required monthly meeting has been moved from February 21 to February 14,” said a news release. The February meeting items previously scheduled for this coming Wednesday include a caller-ID spoofing NPRM, an IP captioned telephone service order, and a media modernization order on equal employment opportunity reports.

Because of the shutdown, Wednesday's meeting won't have votes on those items.
