FCC Extends Current Native Nations Communications Task Force and Seeks Nominations For Tribal Government Representatives To Serve on Renewed Task Force Beginning in 2024

The Federal Communications Commission announced an extension of the term of the current Native Nations Communications Task Force until the end of 2023. The current term—which was set to expire on October 24, 2023—will now expire on December 31, 2023. The FCC is also seeking applications for membership to serve on a renewed Task Force to start at the beginning of 2024. Applications should be submitted in accordance with the procedures outlined here. Incumbent Task Force members may recommit to the Task Force rather than submit a new nomination. The FCC intends to establish the renewed Task Force term for a period of three years, with an expected start date of January 1, 2024.
