0660-AA34 201710 The Regulatory Plan and the Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions 0660 National Telecommunications and Information Administration NTIA 0600 Department of Commerce DOC Repeal of Regulations Governing the Public Telecommunications Facilities Program

NTIA issued this rule to repeal its regulations governing the Public Telecommunications Facilities Program (PTFP). The PTFP is a competitive grant program that helps public broadcasting stations, State and local governments, Indian Tribes, and nonprofit organizations to construct public television and radio stations. As of Fiscal Year 2011, no funds have been available for PTFP grants. NTIA is repealed its regulations governing the PTFP because the regulations are unnecessary and obsolete.
