FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
Open Commission Meeting, Tuesday, October 23, 2018
October 16, 2018.
The Federal Communications Commission will hold an Open Meeting on
the subjects listed below on Tuesday, October 23, 2018 which is
scheduled to commence at 10:30 a.m. in Room TW-C305, at 445 12th Street
SW, Washington, DC.
Because of the unexpected closure of the FCC headquarters on
Monday, October 15, the Commission has determined that it is in the
public interest to delay for one day the onset of the sunshine period
prohibition contained in Section 1.1203 of the Commission's rules, 47
CFR 1.1203. Accordingly, consistent with Section 1.1200(a) of the
Commission's rules, 47 CFR 1.1200(a), the Commission hereby modifies
its rules so that the sunshine period prohibition will begin at 11:59
p.m. on Wednesday, October 17, rather than at 11:59 p.m. on Tuesday,
October 16.
