| 2016-16780 | Process Reform for Executive Branch Review of Certain FCC Applications and Petitions Involving Foreign Ownership | Proposed Rule | In this Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM), the Federal Communications Commission (Commission) proposes changes to our rules and procedures related to certain applications and petitions for declaratory ruling involving foreign ownership (together, "applications"). The Commission refers certain applications to the relevant Executive Branch agencies for their input on any national security, law enforcement, foreign policy, and trade policy concerns that may arise from the foreign ownership interests held in the applicants and petitioners (together, "applicants"). As part of our effort to reform the Commission's processes, we seek to improve the timeliness and transparency of this referral process. More specifically, our goals here are to identify ways in which both the Commission and the agencies might streamline and facilitate the process for obtaining information necessary for Executive Branch review and identify expected time frames, while ensuring that we continue to take Executive Branch concerns into consideration as part of our public interest review. | 2016-07-19 | 2016 | 7 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2016/07/19/2016-16780/process-reform-for-executive-branch-review-of-certain-fcc-applications-and-petitions-involving | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2016-07-19/pdf/2016-16780.pdf | Federal Communications Commission | 161 | In this Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM), the Federal Communications Commission (Commission) proposes changes to our rules and procedures related to certain applications and petitions for declaratory ruling involving foreign ownership (together,... |
