                InternshipsAbout the DivisionThe Office of Intergovernmental Affairs (IGA) engages in mutual outreach activities with state and local governments, as well as other federal regulatory agencies, for the purpose of fostering their understanding of FCC programs, policies, rules and decisions, and the Commission’s understanding of how its activities impact state and local telecommunications policymakers and stakeholders. We attend and participate in conferences, seminars and industry meetings to further our mission. IGA is responsible for overseeing the work and activities of the Commission's Intergovernmental Advisory Committee, and various ad hoc special projects.**Spotlight****Advisory Committee Addresses Pandemic, Affordable Connectivity**Recent reports from the FCC's Intergovernmental Advisory Committee (IAC) provide updated information on two fronts -- barriers and incentives to telemedicine in light of the COVID-19 pandemic; and consumer outreach to promote awareness of the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP).The Telehealth Report updated the previous IAC’s 2019 Telehealth Report in light of lessons learned during the COVID-19 pandemic. Among the report’s recommendations are the following:The FCC should use better geographic broadband location data, as it becomes available, to show the presence and nature of telehealth services offered by healthcare service providers throughout the nation, andThe FCC should incorporate software, equipment, data storage, and patient-record access within the meaning of the term “telehealth” for policy making purposes.Meanwhile, the ACP Outreach Report seeks to enhance state, local and Tribal outreach and awareness efforts associated with the Commission’s $14.2 billion broadband affordability program, the ACP.Recommendations to enhance ACP awareness and enrollment include, among other things, that stakeholders should study, adopt and leverage the work of other governmental stakeholders to advance the cause of ACP awareness. In so doing, stakeholders should also use their own initiative and creativity to achieve objectives based on the unique features of their jurisdictions.Both reports are available on the IAC webpage.**CHAIRWOMAN ROSENWORCEL ANNOUNCES NEW MEMBERS OF THE INTERGOVERNMENTAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE AND THE IAC’S FIRST MEETING**(IAC) and a first IAC meeting date of April 18, 2024.rs.
