FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION


Technological Advisory Council

ACTION: Notice of meeting.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Federal Advisory Committee Act, Public
Law 92-463, as amended, this notice advises interested persons of the
first meeting of the Technological Advisory Council (``Council'') under
its new charter, which will be held at the Federal Communications
Commission in Washington, DC.

DATES: Wednesday, June 13, 2001 at 10:00 a.m.

ADDRESSES: Federal Communications Commission, 445 12th St. S.W., Room
TW-C305 Washington DC 20554.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Council was established by the Federal
Communications Commission to provide a means by which a diverse array
of recognized technical experts from a variety of interests such as
industry, academia, government, citizens groups, etc., can provide
advice to the FCC on innovation in the communications industry. The
purpose of this first meeting under the Council's new charter will be
to organize the Council's efforts to fulfill its responsibilities under
the charter. Members of the general public may attend the meeting. The
Federal Communications Commission will attempt to accommodate as many
persons as possible. Admittance, however, will be limited to the
seating available. Unless so requested by the Council's Chair, there
will be no public oral participation, but the public may submit written
comments to Julius Knapp, the Council's Designated Federal Officer,
before the meeting. Julius Knapp's email address is jknapp@fcc.gov. His
U.S. mail address is Julius Knapp, Deputy Chief, Office of Engineering
and Technology, Federal Communications Commission, 445 12th Street, SW,
Washington, DC 20554. Continuously accelerating technological changes
in telecommunications design, manufacturing, and deployment require
that the Commission be promptly informed of those changes to fulfill
its statutory mandate effectively. Notice of this meeting was delayed
because of the large number of exceptionally well qualified applicants
who were nominated for membership on the Council, and the need to
insure that the composition of the Council would best achieve the
objectives that have been set for this Council promptly. Future
meetings of the Council have been scheduled for September 20, 2001;
December 5, 2001; March 20, 2002; June 12, 2002; September 18, 2002;
and December 4, 2002. Additional meetings may be scheduled as
necessary. Future meetings will address the topics that the Council has
been asked to consider by the Commission. All meetings will be held in
the Commission meeting room, Room TW-C-305, 445 12th Street, S.W.,
Washington, D.C. Each meeting will begin at 10:00 A.M. and continue
until the business before the Council on that date has been completed.
