Correction

    In the Federal Register of February 23, 2015, in FR Doc. 2015-
03611, on page 9459 in the second and third columns, and page 9460, in 
the first column correct the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section to read:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The meeting will be held on February 23, 
2015, from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. in the Commission Meeting Room of 
the Federal Communications Commission, Room TW-C305, 445 12th Street 
SW., Washington, DC 20554. The DSTAC is a Federal Advisory Committee 
that will ``identify, report, and recommend performance objectives, 
technical capabilities, and technical standards of a not unduly 
burdensome, uniform, and technology- and platform-neutral software-
based downloadable security system.'' On December 8, 2014, the FCC, 
pursuant to the Federal Advisory Committee Act, established the charter 
for the DSTAC. The meeting on February 23, 2015, will be the first 
meeting of the DSTAC. The Commission is required to publish notice of 
the rescheduled meeting at least 15 calendar days before the 
rescheduled meeting date absent exceptional circumstances; in this 
case, the Commission faced exceptional circumstances when it provided 
notice of the rescheduled meeting. As noted, the original meeting was 
cancelled due to the closure of the Government on February 17, 2015, 
the original meeting date. Section 106(d)(4) of the STELA 
Reauthorization Act of 2014, Public Law. 113-200, requires the 
Commission to hold the initial meeting by March 4, 2015. February 23, 
2015 was the only date before that deadline when (i) the DSTAC Chair 
was available and (ii) the Commission had a room of appropriate size 
available. Moreover, section 106(d)(2) of the STELA Reauthorization Act 
of 2014 requires the DSTAC to submit a report to the Commission by 
September 4, 2015. The committee's ability to meet that deadline would 
be significantly compromised if this initial meeting were further 
delayed. The Commission took steps to mitigate the harm of shortened 
notice of the meeting. As soon as possible on February 18, 2015, the 
Commission provided notice that the meeting was rescheduled on (i) the 
Commission's main Web site, (ii) the Web site for the DSTAC, and (iii) 
in the Federal Register. In addition, on February 18, 2015, Commission 
staff contacted the advisory committee members and other interested 
parties via email to inform them of the rescheduled meeting. For the 
reasons stated above, we conclude that the Commission had good cause 
for providing less than 15 calendar days of notice of the rescheduled 
meeting.
    At the meeting, the Committee will discuss (i) the scope of the 
report that it will deliver to the Commission, (ii) the ultimate goals 
of interested parties with respect to navigation device conditional 
access and content security, (iii) recommended working groups and the 
tasks for which they will be responsible, and (iv) any other topics 
related to the DSTAC's work that may arise. The Commission will provide 
audio and/or video coverage of the meeting over the Internet from the 
FCC's Web page at http://www.fcc.gov/live. The public may submit 
written comments before the meeting to Brendan Murray, DSTAC Designated 
Federal Officer, by email to [email protected] or by U.S. Postal Service 
Mail to 445 12th Street SW., Room 4-A726, Washington, DC 20554. Open 
captioning will be provided for this event. Other reasonable 
accommodations for people with disabilities are available upon request. 
Requests for such accommodations should be submitted via email to 
[email protected] or by calling the Consumer & Governmental Affairs Bureau 
at (202) 418-0530 (voice), (202) 418-0432 (tty). Such requests should 
include a detailed description of the accommodation needed. In 
addition, please include a way the FCC can contact you if it needs more 
information. Please allow at least five days' advance notice; last-
minute requests will be accepted, but may be impossible to fill.

Federal Communications Commission.
Marlene H. Dortch,
Secretary.
