Yesterday we reported that the FCC has initiated a couple of proceedings relating to video connection/navigation devices. Both the Notice of Inquiry (NOI) and the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) have now been published in the Federal Register. As a result, the comment period deadlines for both are now set. 

Comments in response to the NOI are due by July 13, 2010 and reply comments are due by August 12, 2010. 

Comments in response to the NPRM are due by June 14, 2010 and reply comments are due by June 28, 2010. You may also file separate comments with respect to the proposed “information collection” aspects of the proposed rules described in the NPRM; those “PRA” (short for Paperwork Reduction Act) comments are due by July 13, 2010.
