FCC, FAA, DOT Settle FOIA Media Outlet's Complaint

Voice of San Diego settled with the FCC, FAA and Department of Transportation in its Freedom of Information Act legal fight, said a notice (in Pacer, docket 20-cv-00990) issued this week in U.S. District Court in San Diego. The nonprofit media outlet sued last May over not getting records for a defense contractor's proposed drone test flight over San Diego. The FCC had said its Office of Engineering and Technology gave VOSD a link to the agency experimental licensing system where it could retrieve responsive applications, while FAA said it hadn't finished processing the FOIA request.
