FCC seeks public comment on rules to review, eliminate
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) released a public notice seeking comment on what agency rules it should review or potentially eliminate. The notice was issued following recent executive orders calling for deregulation. Comments are due by April 11.
“Specifically, we are seeking public input on identifying FCC rules for the purpose of alleviating unnecessary regulatory burdens. We seek comment on deregulatory initiatives that would facilitate and encourage American firms’ investment in modernizing their networks, developing infrastructure, and offering innovative and advanced capabilities… We also invite more general comment on rules that should be considered for elimination on other grounds,” the notice reads.
America’s Credit Unions plans to provide comments to the FCC and encourages other federal financial regulators to engage in similar requests for comment with an eye toward reviewing regulations.
President/CEO Jim Nussle wrote to FCC Chair Brendan Carr earlier this year emphasizing the need for clear and fair regulatory standards that protect consumers while supporting the operational needs of credit unions.
