 Washington,  DC  –  Erica  H.  McMahon  has  been  named  associate  chief  of  the  Consumer  Policy  Division  of  the  Consumer  &  Governmental  Affairs  Bureau. 
 Ms.  McMahon  joined  the  Commission  in  December  of  2001  as  an  attorney  in  the  Policy  Division.  She  has  had  primary  responsibility  for  the  Commission’s  Telephone  Consumer 
 Protection  Act  (TCPA)  proceedings.  As  associate  chief  of  the  Consumer  Policy  Division,  she  will  continue  to  oversee  rulemakings  and  orders  regarding  the  FCC’s  telemarketing  and  fax 
 advertising  rules.  Prior  to  joining  the  FCC,  Ms.  McMahon  was  an  attorney  with  the  Federal  Election  Commission’s  Enforcement  Bureau  and  Information  Division. 


 K.  Dane  Snowden,  Chief  of  CGB,  said,  “Erica’s  keen  and  insightful  legal  analysis  served  a  critical  role  in  the  FCC’s  adoption  of  the  new  telemarketing  rules  last  year.  She  has  since 
 contributed  tremendously  in  the  implementation  of  those  rules  and  development  of  all  the  issues  in  our  consumer  policy  division.  I  am  delighted  that  the  Commission  will  continue  to  benefit 
 from  Erica’s  valuable  work  in  her  new,  leadership  position.”
