* This document reflects only proposed FCC actions, not those of other government agencies, and is not exhaustive of all 2010 FCC actions. The location and timing of actions in this document represents a series of targets that may be adjusted to respond to changing conditions as appropriate; items that span quarters are expected to occur late in the earlier quarter, or early in the later quarter. Does not include initiatives discussed in Agenda from Q1 2010 and earlier (E-rate Community Use Order, Rural Health Care Pilot Program Extension Order, Spectrum Dashboard Beta, and Tower Siting Declaratory Ruling).
Common FCC Regulatory Proceedings
The Agenda discusses a number of common FCC regulatory proceedings, including:
- Public Notice (PN): A PN is issued by the Commission or by one of its Bureaus and Offices to notify the public of an action taken or of the occurrence of an event, or to seek public comment on a matter the Commission is considering.
- Notice of Inquiry (NOI): A NOI is issued by the Commission to ask the public for information on, or to generate ideas about, a topic. A NOI is often followed by a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking.
- Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM): A NPRM is issued when the Commission is considering a change to its rules and regulations. The NPRM asks the public to comment on whether they agree with the proposed changes or to propose alternatives.
- Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (FNPRM): A FNPRM is issued by the Commission to seek further comment from the public when new issues arise in a proceeding after an NPRM has been issued, or the Commission desires additional public comment on issues raised in an NPRM.
- Order: An order is a decision of the Commission or one of its Bureaus and Offices.
- Report and Order (R&O): A R&O is a decision issued by the Commission to conclude a rulemaking proceeding. R&Os may adopt new rules, amend existing rules, or announce that rules will remain unchanged.
