operate for two years. The purpose of the Committee is to make

participation of consumers with disabilities in proceedings before the 
Commission. In addition, this Committee is intended to provide an 
effective means for stakeholders with interests in this area, including

    The Committee will be organized under, and will operate in 
accordance with, the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act

Committee will be open to the public unless otherwise noticed. A notice 
of each meeting will be published in the Federal Register at least 
fifteen (15) days in advance of the meeting. Records will be maintained 
of each meeting and made available for public inspection. All 
activities of the Committee will be conducted in an open, transparent, 
and accessible manner. The Committee shall terminate two (2) years from 
the filing date of its charter, or earlier upon the completion of its 
work as determined by the Chairwoman of the FCC, unless its charter is 
renewed prior to the termination date.
    During the Committee's next term, it is anticipated that the 
Committee will meet in Washington, DC and/or virtually via video 
conference, at the discretion of the Commission, approximately three 
(3) times a year, with additional meetings scheduled as needed. The
