Necessary Support
B. The Committee’s Objective and Scope
of Its Activity
The Federal Communications
Commission will provide the facilities
and staff support necessary to conduct
meetings in Washington, DC. Private
sector members of the committee will
serve without any government
compensation, and will not be entitled
to travel expenses, per diem or
subsistence allowances.
Rapid advances in technology have
resulted in innovations in how
telecommunications services are
provided to, and are accessed by, users
of those services. Many of these
advances are increasing the rate of
convergence among categories of
services that have traditionally been
viewed as distinct, such as cable
television services, telephony, data
services, and internet services.
Regulations must be examined in light
of these technology advances, and the
Federal Communications Commission
(‘‘FCC’’) must remain abreast of new
developments in technology so that it
can effectively fulfill its responsibilities
under the Communications Act.
The purpose of the TAC is to provide
technical advice to the Federal
Communications Commission and to
make recommendations on the issues
and questions presented to it by the
FCC. The TAC will address questions
referred to it by the FCC Chairman, by
the FCC Chief Office of Engineering and
Technology or by the TAC Designated
Federal Officer. The questions referred
to the TAC will be directed to
technological and technical issues in the
field of communications.
Each scheduled TAC meeting will be
organized according to a particular
technical theme to be decided in
advance by the TAC Chairman and the
TAC Designated Federal officer. The
TAC Chairman will make the necessary
arrangements to have presenters from
different segments of the
telecommunications industry present
points of view on the theme. The
objective of the meeting will be to
educate the FCC on new technology
trends and to advise the FCC of
potential regulatory obstacles to their
development and deployment.
C. Period of Time Necessary for the
Committee To Carry Out Its Purpose
Under its renewed charter, the TAC
shall convene for a period that
terminates two (2) years from the date
on which the renewed charter is field.
The charter may be renewed for an
additional two years prior to the charter
termination date.

SAT International Corporation v. Great
White Fleet (US), Ltd.; Notice of Filing
of Complaint and Assignment
Notice is given that a complaint has
been filed with the Federal Maritime
Commission (‘‘Commission’’) by SAT
International Corporation (‘‘SAT’’ or
‘‘Complainant’’) against Great White
Fleet (US), Ltd. (‘‘Great White’’ or
‘‘Respondent’’). Great White, acting as a
VOCC, transported cargo for SAT from
the United States to Guatemala.
Complainant contends that Respondent
violated section 10(b)(4)(E) of the
Shipping Act of 1984, 46 U.S.C. app.
§ 1709(b)(4)(E), by engaging in unfair
and unjustly discriminatory practices
relating to the adjustment and
settlement of claims. Complainant also
contends that Respondent violated
section 10(d)(1) of the Shipping Act of
1984, 46 U.S.C. app. § 1709(d)(1), by
failing to establish, observe, and enforce
just and reasonable regulations and
practices relating to the handling of
SAT’s goods. Complainant claims that it
has suffered damages in the amount of
at least $69,520. Complainant seeks an
order directing Respondent to cease and
desist from such unlawful activities and
compelling Respondent to make
reparations to SAT in an amount to be
proved at an administrative hearing,
plus interest, costs, and reasonable
attorneys’ fees.
This proceeding has been assigned to
the Office of Administrative Law Judges.
