Procedural Rules Governing Formal
Complaint Proceedings NPRM
Federal Communications
Commission.
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.
AGENCY:
In this document, a Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) proposes
a uniform set of procedural rules for
formal complaint proceedings delegated
to the Enforcement Bureau and
currently handled by its Market
Disputes Resolution Division and
Telecommunications Consumers
Division. Specifically, the NPRM
proposes to streamline and consolidate
the procedural rules governing formal
complaints filed under Section 208 of
the Communications Act of 1934, as
amended (Act); pole attachment
complaints filed under Section 224 of
the Act; and formal advanced
communications services and
equipment complaints filed under
Sections 255, 716, and 718 of the Act.
These separate sets of procedural rules
are not congruent, and the
inconsistencies have led to needless
confusion.
DATES: Interested persons are invited to
submit comments on or before October
26, 2017. Reply comments are due on or
before November 13, 2017.
