SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Increasing

innovation and rapid advances in

technology have accelerated changes in

the ways that telecommunications

services are provided to, and accessed

by, users of communications services.

The FCC must stay abreast of future

developments in communications and

related technologies to fulfill its

responsibilities under the

Communications Act. The

Technological Advisory Council, which

held its first meeting on April 7, 1999,

was designed to provide a mechanism

by which a diverse array of

distinguished technologists can meet

and provide ‘‘cutting edge’’ advice to

the FCC on technological innovations

that are likely to affect electronic,

optical, and radio communications and

related industries.

Nominees and applicants for

membership on the Council should have

national, or international, reputations as

leading technologists in their areas of

expertise. In the case of nominees or

applicants who are affiliated with

private sector companies, nominees will

frequently hold the title of Chief

Scientist, or Chief Technology Officer;

and in the case of academic and other

research organizations, applicants and

nominees will frequently hold an

endowed professorship, or fellowship,

or senior management or technical

position within that research or

development organization. Individuals

may apply for, or nominate another

individual for, membership on the

Council. Each nomination or

application must include:

(1) The name and title of the applicant

or nominee and a description of the

area, or areas, of expertise possessed by

the applicant or nominee;

(2) The applicant’s or nominee’s mail

address, e-mail address (where

available), telephone number, and

facsimile number;

(3) Reasons why the applicant or

nominee should be appointed to the

Council; and

(4) The basis for concluding that the

applicant or nominee has achieved peer

recognition as a technical expert.

The Technological Advisory Council

has been organized as a Federal

Advisory Committee under the Federal

Advisory Committee Act, Public Law

92–463, 86 Stat. 770, as amended Public

Law 94–409, section 5(c), Sept. 13,

97–375, title II, section 201(c), Dec. 21,

1982, 96 Stat. 1822. The Council, which

was initially chartered on December 11,

1998, has been rechartered for an

additional period that will expire on

December 11, 2002. The Council will

meet quarterly at the FCC which will

provide facilities for those meetings.

Members of the Council serve without

Federal government compensation, and
