As a follow-up to our
posting on September 17, 2015, and in response to questions we
have received from several of our readers, I wanted to clarify that
the Federal Communication Commission's ("FCC")
revision to its contest rules did not go into effect immediately
after its September 17 meeting.
In fact, the revised rules must first be reviewed by the Office
of Management and Budget ("OMB"). OMB is the agency that
approves the changed rules and it will determine when they will go
into effect. OMB's approval and the effective date it sets will
be announced in the Federal Register.
We called the FCC to confirm this procedure. The FCC anticipates
the process will probably take between four to six months from the
Commission's September meeting.
