25 NSCC Item VII.B. April 1, 2016 to: from: subject: Commissioneres Coralie Wilson, Executive Director FCC Comments I have attached briefing papers prepared by the Alliance for Community Media on two FCC issues. I would like you to consider authorizing me to respond to both. The first is Notice of Inquirty (NOI) from the FCC asks whether the cable industry has prevented PEG channels from providing program listings on the electronic program guides and, indirectly, asks about HD program distribution. The initial deadline has passed, but reply comments may be submitted by April 19, The second is a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) on set top boxes. I don t believe there is a briefing schedule on this yet.
