Comment Letter on FCC Process

Monday, March 31, 2014 – 12:00pm

TO: Federal Communications Commission

RE: Report on FCC Process Reform, GN Docket No. 14-25

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce (“Chamber”) respectfully submits these comments to
the Federal Communications Commission (“Commission”) in response to its Public Notice
requesting comment on the Report on FCC Process Reform (“Report”) in the above-referenced
docket. The Chamber views regulatory reform as a top priority and welcomes efforts by the
Commission to streamline its procedures and improve its efficiency. However, the Chamber
opposes “Recommendation 5.44: Transparency as to Real Party in Interest” because it is
unnecessary and would interfere with the Chamber’s First Amendment-protected associational
rights.
