Committee.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission (Commission) hereby 
announces that the Disability Advisory Committee (hereinafter 
Committee) will be reestablished for a two-year period pursuant to the 
Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), following consultation with the 
Committee Management Secretariat, General Services Administration.

ADDRESSES: Federal Communications Commission, 45 L St. NE, Washington,

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Joshua Mendelsohn, Designated Federal 
Officer, Federal Communications Commission, Consumer and Governmental 
Affairs Bureau, (202) 559-7304, or email: [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: After consultation with the General Services 
Administration, the Commission intends to re-establish the charter, 
providing the Committee with authorization to operate for two years.
    The purpose of the Committee is to make recommendations to the 
Commission on the full range of disability access topics specified by 
the Commission and to facilitate the 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 consumers with disabilities, to 
exchange ideas, which will in turn enhance the Commission's ability to 
effectively address disability access issues.

Advisory Committee

    The Committee will be organized under, and will operate in 
accordance with, the provisions of the FACA (5 U.S.C. ch. 10). The 
Committee will be solely advisory in nature. Consistent with FACA and 
its requirements, each meeting of the 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 Chair 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, or virtually, at the discretion 
of the Commission, approximately three (3) times a year. The first 
meeting date and agenda topics will be described in a Public Notice 
issued and published in the Federal Register at least fifteen (15) days 
prior to the first meeting date.
    In addition, as needed, subcommittees will be established to 
facilitate the Committee's work between meetings of the full Committee. 
All meetings of the Committee, including those of subcommittees, will 
be fully accessible to individuals with disabilities.

Federal Communications Commission.
Michael Scott,
Deputy Chief, Disability Rights Office, Consumer and Governmental 
Affairs Bureau.
