Pursuant to section 1.1200(a) of the Commission’s rules, 47 C.F.R. § 1.1200(a), 
presentations to and from members of the Committee will be treated as exempt presentations for 
ex parte purposes. This treatment is appropriate since presentations to and from the Committee, 
like comments on a Notice of Inquiry, will not directly result in the promulgation of new rules.
See 47 C.F.R. § 1.1204(b)(1) (exempt treatment of Notices of Inquiry).
We recognize, however, that there are pending dockets that are considering several issues 
that may be addressed by the Committee.  The Commission will not rely in these dockets on any 
information submitted to or obtained from the Committee unless that information is first placed 
in the record of the relevant rulemaking proceeding.
