SEPARATE STATEMENT OF COMMISSIONER GLORIA TRISTANI

Re: In the Matter of the Suspension of the Broadcast and Cable Equal Employment Opportunity Outreach Program

I concur in the pre-mandate suspension of the Commission's EEO rules because the filing requirements would have occurred between the date of the court's opinion and the submission of any post-opinion petitions for rehearing. I write separately to express that it would have been more appropriate to suspend only the filing requirements, rather than the rules themselves, pending disposition of any timely petition for rehearing.
