Meeting Procedures

This document revises the Federal Communications Commission procedural rules pertaining to meeting procedures. The seven days notice requirement, generally applicable to Commission meetings, applied also to meetings whose only order of business was to decide whether to call a future meeting with shorter notice. In accordance with the Sunshine Act, the Commission exempted those kinds of meetings from the seven days notice requirement. The rule provision delineating the procedure to be followed in announcing meetings on short notice is also revised to eliminate any inconsistency in the text of the rules.
