On Reauthorization of NTIA
Before the Subcommittee on Communications and Technology
Committee on Energy and Commerce
U.S. House of Representatives
March 6, 2018
NTIA, as the President’s principal adviser on domestic and international telecommunications policies, and on behalf of federal agency purchasers of telecommunications services, respectfully comments on the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in this proceeding. NTIA supports the Commission’s proposals for streamlining the section 214 process by which Title II-regulated carriers may discontinue service. We suggest ways to ensure that the discontinuance and copper retirement processes can accommodate the needs of federal communications users.
On behalf of the Executive Branch, NTIA submits these supplemental comments to further address the NPRM proposal to establish time periods for Executive Branch review of applications and petitions referred to it by the Commission, in light of the extensive comment on this issue by other entities including telecommunications companies, trade associations, and law firms.
