Sean Lev, FCC General Counsel, To Step Down By Year’s End

Acting Federal Communications Commission Chairwoman Mignon Clyburn announced that Sean Lev will step down as General Counsel by the end of 2013.

Chairwoman Clyburn said: “Among … notable accomplishments, Sean has spearheaded the agency’s defense of the Open Internet rules; he has worked extensively on defending the Commission’s landmark Universal Service/Intercarrier Compensation Transformation Order, and he has led the Office of General Counsel to major victories in the D.C. Circuit on the Commission’s data roaming rules, and in the Supreme Court on the ‘shot clock’ rules for wireless facilities siting applications.” In addition to the advice and counsel Lev has provided as General Counsel, he has also served for the last 11 months as the Interim Director of the FCC’s Technology Transitions Policy Task Force.
