For Immediate Release
STATEMENT OF COMMISSIONER JESSICA ROSENWORCEL 
ON IDENTITY THEFT AFFECTING TWO MILLION AMERICANS IN 
FCC RECORD
WASHINGTON, December 13, 2017 —  Upon receipt of a letter from New York 
Attorney General Eric Schneiderman stating that it now appears that two million 
Americans’ identities may have been misused in the FCC record and a separate letter 
from 18 State Attorneys General calling on the FCC to delay its net neutrality vote 
because of its “tainted” record, FCC Commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel released the 
following statement: 
“This is crazy.  Two million people have had their identities stolen in an effort to 
corrupt our public record. Nineteen State Attorneys General from across the country 
have asked us to delay this vote so they can investigate. And yet, in less than 24 hours 
we are scheduled to vote on wiping out our net neutrality protections. We should not 
vote on any item that is based on this corrupt record.  I call on my colleagues to delay 
this vote so we can get to the bottom of this mess.”
