It announces the FCC’s initiative to review and eliminate unnecessary regulations as part of a deregulatory agenda.<br><br>Key Points:<br> • Purpose: The FCC seeks public input on identifying regulations that may no longer be necessary or that impose unnecessary burdens on businesses.<br> • Deregulatory Focus: The notice aligns with Executive Orders (14192 and 14219) which emphasize reducing regulatory obstacles and encouraging investment in telecommunications infrastructure and innovation.<br> • Comments &amp; Reply Deadline:<br> • Initial comments due by April 11, 2025.<br> • Reply comments due by April 28, 2025.<br> • Evaluation Factors:<br> • Cost-benefit analysis: Are there FCC regulations where costs exceed benefits?<br> • Effectiveness over time: Have some regulations failed to meet their intended purpose?<br> • Technological &amp; market changes: Are there rules that are outdated due to advancements in technology?<br> • Barriers to entry: Do regulations disproportionately impact small businesses?<br> • Legal context changes: Have legal rulings (such as the Supreme Court’s Loper Bright decision overturning Chevron deference) altered the regulatory landscape?<br><br>Call for Public Input<br> • The FCC invites detailed comments on specific rules that should be repealed or modified, considering factors such as:<br> • Unnecessary compliance costs.<br> • Regulatory barriers to competition.<br> • Changes in the broader regulatory framework.<br><br>Submission &amp; Filing Process<br> • Comments should be submitted via the FCC’s Electronic Comment Filing System (ECFS).<br> • Paper filings are accepted through designated FCC addresses.<br><br>This review aims to streamline regulations, promote competition, and align FCC policies with current market and technological realities.<br><br><a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/fcc" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span>#</span>fcc</a> <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/radio" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span>#</span>radio</a> <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/comms" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span>#</span>comms</a> <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/rf" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span>#</span>rf</a> <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/deregulate" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span>#</span>deregulate</a> <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/hf" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span>#</span>hf</a> <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/vhf" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span>#</span>vhf</a> <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/uhf" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span>#</span>uhf</a> <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/amateurradio" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span>#</span>amateurradio</a> <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/mesh" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span>#</span>mesh</a> <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/meshtastic" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span>#</span>meshtastic</a> <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/reticulum" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span>#</span>reticulum</a> <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/sideband" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span>#</span>sideband</a> <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/nomadnet" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span>#</span>nomadnet</a> <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/brrr" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span>#</span>brrr</a>
