ON THE LOCAL AND STATE GOVERNMENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is seeking nominations of elected municipal officials to fill a vacancy on the Commission's Local and State Government Advisory Committee (LSGAC). This vacancy is due to the departure of Dallas, Texas Mayor Pro Tem Mary Poss.
The LSGAC is comprised of elected and appointed officials of municipal, county, state and tribal governments. It provides advice and information to the FCC on key issues relevant to the LSGAC, including public rights-of-way, facilities siting, universal service, removal of barriers to competitive entry and public safety communications. Pursuant to Sections 204(b) of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995, Pub. L. No. 104-4, 109 Stat. 66, the LSGAC is not subject to, and is not required to follow, the procedures set forth in the Federal Advisory Committee Act 5, U.S.C., App. 2 (1988).
The FCC will be accepting nominations to the LSGAC until 5 p.m. Friday, October 6, 2000. Each nomination must include:
(a) the name and title of the nominee and a description of the municipal interest the nominee will represent;
(b) the nominee's mail address, e-mail address, telephone number and facsimile number;
(c) a certification that the nominee is an elected official of a municipality; and
(d) a description of the nominee's qualifications that would contribute to the roles and responsibilities of the LSGAC.
Nominations should be sent to Dr. Emily Hoffnar, the FCC's liaison to the LSGAC, Federal Communications Commission, 445 12th Street, S.W., Washington, D.C. 20554.
For further information pertaining to membership on the LSGAC, contact Dr. Hoffnar at (202) 418-7396 or at ehoffnar@fcc.gov
