-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Federal Advisory Committee Act, this 
notice advises interested persons that the Federal Communications

on Monday, March 10, 2014 in the Commission Meeting Room, from 1 p.m. 
to 4 p.m. at the Federal Communications Commission, 445 12th Street 
SW., Washington, DC 20554.

DATES: March 10, 2014.

ADDRESSES: Federal Communications Commission, 445 12th Street SW., 
Washington, DC 20554.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Walter Johnston, Chief, 
Electromagnetic Compatibility Division, 202-418-0807; 
[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FCC Technological Advisory Council will 
discuss its proposed work program for 2014. The FCC will attempt to 
accommodate as many people as possible. However, admittance will be 
limited to seating availability. Meetings are also broadcast live with 
open captioning over the internet from the FCC Live Web page at http://www.fcc.gov/live/. The public may submit written comments before the 
meeting to: Walter Johnston, the FCC's Designated Federal Officer for 
Technological Advisory Council by email: [email protected] or 
U.S. Postal Service Mail (Walter Johnston, Federal Communications 
Commission, Room 7-A224, 445 12th Street SW., Washington, DC 20554). 
Open captioning will be provided for this event. Other reasonable 
accommodations for people with disabilities are available upon request. 
Requests for such accommodations should be submitted via email to 
[email protected] or by calling the Office of Engineering and Technology 
at 202-418-2470 (voice), (202) 418-1944 (fax). Such requests should 
include a detailed description of the accommodation needed. In 
addition, please include your contact information. The notice of this 
meeting was first published in the Federal Register March 10, 2014, 
only 0 days in advance of the meeting on March 10, 2014. While the 
publication did not meet the 15-day requirement for advance 
publication, exceptional circumstances warrant proceeding with the 
March 10, 2014 TAC meeting. TAC members were informed of the potential 
March 10 meeting at the December 9, 2013, public meeting of the Council 
with a confirmation of this date sent to them on December 17, 2013, and 
have been informed informally of the March meeting date on more than 
one occasion since then. A significant number of Council members have 
made business and travel plans in accordance with this schedule, and 
there is no date within one month of the planned date that will 
accommodate Council members' schedules. Delaying the meeting will also 
cause undue financial burdens on many of the members who have made 
travel arrangements. Further, recognizing the delay in Federal Register 
publication, the agency issued a Public Notice of this meeting on March 
4, 2014, to mitigate the late Federal Register publication and as an 
additional way of advising the public of this meeting and their right 
to attend. The agency has also posted all TAC

meeting dates on the FCC TAC Web site to further inform the public. As 
the March 2014 meeting date was discussed at the December 2013 public 
meeting of the Council, the meeting has now been broadly announced.

Federal Communications Commission.
Marlene H. Dortch,
Secretary.
