FCC Seeks Nominations For Municipal and Tribal Representatives On The Intergovernmental Advisory Committee

The Federal Communications Commission seeks nominations to replace a municipal official member and a Tribal member on the Commission’s Intergovernmental Advisory Committee (IAC).

The IAC, comprised of 15 representatives from local, state, and Tribal governments, advises the Commission on a range of telecommunication issues for which their governments explicitly or inherently share responsibility or administration with the FCC. The term of operations of the reauthorized IAC is two years, with an option for another two year term. The current IAC term commenced with its first meeting on December 2, 2011 and will conclude in December 2013. One of the four municipal representatives and one of the three Tribal representatives are no longer members of the IAC. The FCC therefore seeks nominations for a fourth elected municipal official representative and a third elected or appointed Tribal representative to replace the departed members.
