The FCC has launched a new deregulatory initiative. Specifically, the Commission has opened a new docket, titled “In re: Delete, Delete, Delete,” in which the agency seeks comment on every rule, regulation, or guidance document that the FCC should eliminate for the purposes of alleviating unnecessary regulatory burdens.
“Under President Trump’s leadership, the Administration is unleashing a new wave of economic opportunity by ending the regulatory onslaught from Washington,” stated FCC Chairman Brendan Carr. “For too long, administrative agencies have added new regulatory requirements in excess of their authority or kept lawful regulations in place long after their shelf life had expired. This only creates headwinds and slows down our country’s innovators, entrepreneurs, and small businesses.”
Carr emphasized, “The FCC is committed to ending all of the rules and regulations that are no longer necessary. And we welcome the public’s participation and feedback throughout this process.” Here’s the Public Notice opening up the new docket and seeking comment.
