FCC ANNOUNCES TENTATIVE AGENDA FOR FEBRUARY 8TH OPEN MEETING
Washington, D.C. -- Today, Federal Communications Commission Chairman Julius Genachowski 
announced that the following items will be on the tentative agenda for the next open meeting scheduled 
for Tuesday, February 8, 2011:
· Connect America Fund and Intercarrier Compensation Reform NPRM: A Notice of 
Proposed Rulemaking to get broadband to all of rural America and spur investment and job 
creation, by modernizing the Universal Service Fund and intercarrier compensation (ICC) system 
while cutting waste and inefficiency. Through the use of market-driven, incentive-based policies 
and increased accountability, the NPRM proposes near-term support for broadband deployment in 
unserved areas and measures to address ICC arbitrage, as well as a long-term transition from 
current high-cost support and ICC mechanisms to a single, fiscally responsible Connect America 
Fund.
· Data Innovation Initiative Presentation: A presentation on the status of the comprehensive 
reform efforts to modernize and streamline how the Commission collects, uses, and disseminates 
data in order to improve the agency’s fact-based, data-driven decision-making.
· Broadband and Voice Data Modernization NPRM: A Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, 
initiated as part of the Commission’s Data Innovation Initiative, to streamline and modernize the 
collection of data via Form 477, in order to ensure that the data the Commission collects enables 
informed policymaking while minimizing burdens on voice and broadband service providers.
· CEI/ONA Reporting Elimination NPRM: A Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, initiated as part 
of the Commission’s Data Innovation Initiative, to eliminate the legacy narrowband comparably 
efficient interconnection (CEI) and open network architecture (ONA) reporting requirements that 
currently apply to the Bell Operating Companies (BOCs), due to a lack of continuing relevance 
and utility.
Topics selected for FCC open meeting agendas are posted on the Commission’s website approximately 
three weeks prior to the Commission’s next monthly meeting. The FCC will also issue a public notice of 
the “Commission Meeting Agenda” one week before the meeting and announce at that time the items that 
are scheduled for the agenda. 
Commission meetings are open to the public, who can attend in person at the FCC headquarters (445 12th 
Street SW, Washington, D.C.), or watch the live stream at www.fcc.gov/live.
