Title: ●Disruptive Conduct at Commission Open Meetings | |
Abstract:
The Commission amended the CFR regulations which specify the roles available to the public at the Commission’s open meetings. This rule utilizes language from the Federal Communication Commission’s (FCC) open meeting regulation and the Rural Telephone Bank’s open meeting regulation to clarify that the term ‘‘observe’’ does not include disruptive behavior. The rule also uses language from the FCC’s open meeting regulation to clarify that communications made or presented by unscheduled presenters will not be considered by the Commission. Finally, the rule uses language similar to the Consumer Product Safety Commission’s open meeting regulation to clarify that members of the public may use electronic audio and visual equipment to record open meetings in a nondisruptive manner. The rule imposes no new obligations on the public (Docket No. RM15-15-000). |
