Federal Communications Commission DA 22-873 Released: August 19, 2022 FCC REMINDS VISITORS OF UPDATED COVID-19 SAFETY PROTOCOLS On June 8, 2022, the FCC announced via public notice (the “Visitors Public Notice”) that it will permit visitors with scheduled appointments, in conjunction with COVID-19 safety protocols identified by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the associated Safer Federal Workforce Task Force (the Task Force), to enter its facilities. Public Notice, “FCC Announces Updated Policy on Visitors; Requiring Scheduled Appointments To Its Facilities” (rel. June 8, 2022). In the Visitors Public Notice, the FCC advised visitors that it had created a new “Visiting FCC Facilities” page on FCC.gov (https://www.fcc.gov/visit) for more information on how to prepare for a visit to the Commission. The “Visiting FCC Facilities” page has been updated to reflect recent guidance issued by the CDC and the Task Force. Recent Safer Federal Workforce Task Force guidance is available at https://www.saferfederalworkforce.gov/new/ . In particular, regardless of COVID-19 Community Levels, the FCC will no longer require any visitors to FCC facilities to complete a Certification of Vaccination form attesting that they are fully vaccinated or present a negative COVID-19 test result from an approved test taken in the three days prior to entry. Visitors should continue to use the CDC Facility Access Tool to self-assess their health for possible symptoms of COVID-19 on the day of the visit and relevant symptoms within the past 48 hours prior to visiting FCC facilities. Going forward, the Commission will continue to update the “Visiting FCC Facilities” page based on the latest guidance. We remind visitors that they should review that page for the most up-to-date information regarding COVID-19 protocols, as minor changes may not be announced via separate public notice.
