The Subcommittee on Communications and Technology, chaired by Rep. Greg Walden (R-OR), has scheduled a hearing on Wednesday, March 4, entitled, “Reauthorization of the Federal Communications Commission: The FCC’s FY 2016 Budget Request."
“Our work is overdue to say the least. Joe Montana was king of the football world and Tom Brady was barely a teen the last time Congress authorized the FCC," said Walden. “Is the FCC best positioned to handle the challenges of the innovation era? Americans’ demand for state-of-the-art communications and technology platforms for interacting and conducting business continues to grow. This hearing is a part of our ongoing effort to modernize the federal government and ensure that the FCC has the tools to transparently and efficiently carry out its mission on behalf of the American people."
Additional information, including the Majority Memorandum, a witness list, and witness testimony will be available here as they are posted.
