August 2022 Open Meeting Agenda

Federal Communications Commission Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel announced the agenda for the FCC's August 5, 2022 Open Commission Meeting. The FCC will:

• Vote to establish a multi-million-dollar Outreach Grant Program that would enlist partners to inform people in their communities about the Affordable Connectivity Program’s benefits, eligibility requirements, and how to apply;
• Vote to establish a one-year pilot program, titled “Your Home, Your Internet,” with the goal of increasing awareness of the Affordable Connectivity Program among recipients of federal housing assistance and facilitating enrollment in the program by providing targeted assistance;
• Launch an inquiry to examine the opportunities and challenges of in-space servicing, assembly, and manufacturing capabilities—or “ISAM”—that can support sustained economic activity in space;
• Vote on rules to use spectrum in the 17.3-17.8 GHz more efficiently and expand the downlink capacity for high-throughput satellite communications;
• Consider an adjudicatory matter from the Media Bureau; and
• Consider an action from the Enforcement Bureau.
