Markup Notice: Subcommittee on Communications and Technology

The following press release was published by the House Committee on Energy and Commerce on Feb. 2, 2015. It is reproduced in full below.

WASHINGTON, DC - The Subcommittee on Communications and Technology, chaired by Rep. Greg Walden (R-OR), has scheduled a markup on Wednesday, February 4, at 10:00 a.m. in room 2123 of the Rayburn House Office Building to consider a discussion draft of the FCC Consolidated Reporting Act of 2015.

The FCC Consolidated Reporting Act of 2015 aims to reduce the reporting workload and increase efficiency at the Federal Communications Commission. The legislation would consolidate a number of existing reports required by law into a single, comprehensive report on the state of the communications marketplace.

“This bill is another important step in our efforts to cut red tape and modernize the FCC as we bring our laws firmly into the 21st century," said Walden. “A more efficient FCC will encourage further innovation, investment, and job creation, things that we can all get behind."

The Majority Memorandum, legislation, and amendments will be available here as they are posted.
