PRESS STATEMENT OF COMMISSIONER GLORIA TRISTANI
Re: MD/DC/DE Broadcasters Associations et al., v. FCC
Petition for Rehearing
Today, the FCC petitioned the D.C. Circuit Court for a partial rehearing of its January 16, 2001, opinion invalidating our EEO outreach rules for broadcasters. While I support the submission as far as it goes, I am disappointed the Commission declined to seek review of the entire decision.
