👀 The document is titled “IN RE: DELETE, DELETE, DELETE” 👀

The document is a Public Notice from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) titled DA-25-219A1, released on March 12, 2025. It announces the FCC’s initiative to review and eliminate unnecessary regulations as part of a deregulatory agenda.

Key Points:

• Purpose: The FCC seeks public input on identifying regulations that may no longer be necessary or that impose unnecessary burdens on businesses.

• Deregulatory Focus: The notice aligns with Executive Orders (14192 and 14219) which emphasize reducing regulatory obstacles and encouraging investment in telecommunications infrastructure and innovation.

• Comments & Reply Deadline:

• Initial comments due by April 11, 2025.

• Reply comments due by April 28, 2025.

• Evaluation Factors:

• Cost-benefit analysis: Are there FCC regulations where costs exceed benefits?

• Effectiveness over time: Have some regulations failed to meet their intended purpose?

• Technological & market changes: Are there rules that are outdated due to advancements in technology?

• Barriers to entry: Do regulations disproportionately impact small businesses?

• Legal context changes: Have legal rulings (such as the Supreme Court’s Loper Bright decision overturning Chevron deference) altered the regulatory landscape?

Call for Public Input

• The FCC invites detailed comments on specific rules that should be repealed or modified, considering factors such as:

• Unnecessary compliance costs.

• Regulatory barriers to competition.

• Changes in the broader regulatory framework.

Submission & Filing Process

• Comments should be submitted via the FCC’s Electronic Comment Filing System (ECFS).

• Paper filings are accepted through designated FCC addresses.

This review aims to streamline regulations, promote competition, and align FCC policies with current market and technological realities.
