The Chairman of the Commission has

purpose of the Committee is to provide 

advice, technical support, and 

recommended proposals to the

disability access issues within the 

Commission’s jurisdiction. This 

Committee will also provide a means for 

stakeholders with interests in 

accessibility issues to exchange ideas, 

facilitate the participation of consumers 

with disabilities in proceedings before 

the Commission, and assist the 

Commission in educating the greater 

disability community and covered 

entities on disability-related matters. 

Issues or questions to be considered by

• Hearing aid compatibility; 

• Access to 9–1–1 emergency 

services; 

• The National Deaf-Blind Equipment 

Distribution Program; and 

• The impact of IP and other network 

transitions on people with disabilities. 

Advisory Committee 

The Committee will be organized 

under, and will operate in accordance 

with, the provisions of the Federal 

Advisory Committee Act (FACA) (5 

U.S.C. App. 2). 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 renewal date of 

its charter, unless its charter is being 

renewed prior to the termination date.

is anticipated that the Committee will 

meet in Washington, DC for at least 

three (3) one-day meetings. 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, 

working groups or subcommittees (ad 

hoc or steering) will be established to 

facilitate the Committee’s work between 

meetings of the full Committee. All 

meetings, including working groups and 

subcommittees, will be fully accessible 

to individuals with disabilities. 

Application for Advisory Committee

applications from representatives of 

interested organizations, institutions, or

private sectors that wish to be 

considered for membership on the 

Committee. The Commission is 

particularly interested in receiving 

nominations and expressions of interest 

from individuals and organizations 

representing the following categories: 

• Individuals, organizations and other 

entities representing people with 

disabilities, including people who are 

blind and visually impaired, people 

who are deaf or hard of hearing, people 

with intellectual disabilities, people 

with multiple disabilities, including 

those who are deaf-blind, people with 

speech disabilities, and people with 

mobility disabilities;

entities with a particular interest in the 

accessibility needs of children and 

senior citizens with disabilities;

enabled service providers and 

manufacturers; researchers; educators; 

and accessible design developers and 

inventors; 

• Federal government agencies; 

• State and local government 

agencies; and 

• Qualified representatives of other 

stakeholders and interested parties with 

relevant experience. 

Selections will be made on the basis 

of factors such as expertise and diversity 

of viewpoints that are necessary to 

address effectively the questions before 

the Committee. Individuals who do not 

represent an organization, institution, or 

entity, but who possess expertise 

valuable to the Committee’s work are 

also welcome to apply. If appointed, 

such individuals would serve as Special 

Government Employees (SGEs) subject 

to conflict of interest rules, financial 

disclosure requirements, and limitations 

on financial holdings similar to those 

applicable to regular agency employees. 

In addition, under current White House 

guidance, such individuals (unlike 

those who are serving in a 

representative capacity) cannot be 

registered federal lobbyists. Committee 

members will not be compensated for 

their service. Members must be willing 

to commit to a two (2) year term of 

service, should be willing and able to 

attend at least three (3) one-day plenary 

committee meetings during each year of 

the Committee’s term, and are also 

encouraged to participate in 

deliberations of at least one (1) 

subcommittee or working group for 

which they have interest and 

qualifications. The time commitment for 

participation in any subcommittee or 

working group may be substantial. 

However, subcommittee and working 

group meetings may be conducted 

informally, using suitable technology to 

facilitate the meetings, subject to 

oversight by the Designated Federal 

Official of the DAC. 

Application Procedure, Deadline and 

Member Appointments 

Nominations should be received by 

the Commission as soon as possible, but 

no later than January 12, 2015. No 

specific nomination form is required; 

however, each nomination must include 

the following information: 

• Name, title, and organization of the 

nominee and a description of the 

organization, sector or other interest the 

nominee will represent; 

• Nominee’s mailing address, email 

address, and telephone number; 

• A statement summarizing the 

nominee’s qualifications (including 

relevant experience and expertise) and 

reasons why the nominee should be 

appointed to the Committee. To the 

extent the nominee will represent a 

specific organization, the statement 

should also include a description of the 

organization as well as the benefit of 

having the organization represented on 

the Committee; 

• A statement confirming that the 

nominee is not a registered federal 

lobbyist, if seeking appointment for the 

individual’s expertise and not as a 

representative of an organization or 

entity; and 

• The specific subcommittee(s), if 

any, on which the nominee has an 

interest in serving, along with the 

nominee’s qualifications to serve on 

such subcommittee. If indicating more 

than one subcommittee, the nominee 

should list these in order of preference. 

For applicants seeking to represent an 

organization or company, the 

applicant’s nomination to the 

Committee must be confirmed by an 

authorized person (e.g., organization or 

company official) confirming that the 

organization or company wants the 

nominated person to represent it on the 

Committee. 

Nominations, including all 

information outlined herein, should be 

submitted by email to DAC@fcc.gov. 

Nominations should be submitted by 

January 12, 2015. 

Please note this Notice is not intended 

to be the exclusive method by which the 

Commission will solicit nominations 

and expressions of interest to identify 

qualified candidates; however, all 

candidates for membership on the 

Committee will be subject to the same 

evaluation criteria. 

After the applications have been 

reviewed, the Commission will publish 

a notice in the Federal Register 

announcing the appointment of 

Committee members and the first 

meeting of the Committee. Members 

serve at the discretion of the Chairman 

of the Commission and must be willing 

to commit to serve for a period of two 

(2) years from the date of establishment 

of the Committee.
