Updated as of May 29, 2018
In this document, the Commission revises certain procedural and organizational rules. The rule revisions fall into three general categories. First, the Commission adopts several docket management measures, such as broadening the use of docketed proceedings; expanding the requirement for electronic filing (and reducing the scope of the obligation to file paper copies); and permitting staff in certain circumstances to notify parties electronically of docket filings and to close inactive dockets. Second, the Commission revises rules regarding the reconsideration of agency decisions, delegating authority to the staff to dismiss or deny defective or repetitive petitions for reconsideration of Commission decisions, and amending the rule that authorizes the Commission to reconsider a decision on its own motion within 30 days to make clear that the Commission may modify a decision (not merely set it aside or vacate it). Finally, the Commission implements changes to miscellaneous regulations. In order to make its processes more uniform and understandable, the Commission sets a default effective date for FCC rules in the event the Commission does not specify an effective date in a rulemaking order and revises its computation of time rule to adopt the “next business day” approach when a Commission rule or order specifies that Commission action shall occur on a day when the agency is not open for business. To eliminate confusion, these rule amendments clarify when the Commission's Headquarters and other offices will be considered to be open for business; and corrects typographical errors in two debt collection rules. The Commission also makes a number of minor rules changes regarding requests under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) in order to correct errors or omissions that have been noted following the agency's last amendment of these rules in 2008. Overall, these revisions are intended to increase the efficiency of Commission decision-making, modernize Commission procedures for the digital age, and enhance the openness and transparency of Commission proceedings for practitioners and the public.
