consumers. The Commission will specify topics the Committee may
consider, which may include: Consumer protection and education;
Implementation of statutes, Commission rules, and policies to protect
consumers; Promoting consumer participation and input into Commission

those in underserved populations.
Advisory Committee
The Committee will be organized under, and will operate in
accordance with, the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act
(FACA) (5 U.S.C. app. 2). The Committee will be solely advisory in
nature. Consistent with FACA and its requirements, each meeting of the
Committee will be open to the public unless otherwise noticed. A notice
of each meeting will be published in the Federal Register at least
fifteen (15) days in advance of the meeting. Records will be maintained
of each meeting and made available for public inspection. All
activities of the Committee will be conducted in an open, transparent,
and accessible manner. The Committee shall terminate two (2) years from
the filing date of its charter, or earlier upon the completion of its
work as determined by the Chair of the FCC, unless its charter is
renewed prior to the termination date.
During the Committee's next term, it is anticipated that the
Committee will meet in Washington, DC at the discretion of the
Commission, approximately three (3) times a year. The first meeting
date and agenda topics will be described in a Public Notice issued and
published in the Federal Register at least fifteen (15) days prior to
the first meeting date.
In addition, as needed, subcommittees will be established to
facilitate the Committee's work between meetings of the full Committee.
