SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Due to scheduling conflicts, the first meeting for 2018 of the FCC's Technological Advisory Council which had been previously announced in the Federal Register to take place on March 7th, 2018 will now be held on April 12, 2018. At its prior meeting on December 6th, 2017, the Council had discussed possible work initiatives for 2018. These initiatives have been discussed in the interim within the FCC, with the TAC chairman, as well as with individual TAC members. At the April meeting, the FCC Technological Advisory Council will discuss its proposed work program for 2018. 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: [e-mail] or U.S. Postal Service Mail (Walter Johnston, Federal Communications Commission, Room 2-A665, 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 [e-mail] or by calling the Office of Engineering and Technology at [phone] (voice), [phone] (fax). Such requests should include a detailed description of the accommodation needed. In addition, please include your contact information. Please allow at least five days advance notice; last minute requests will be accepted, but may be impossible to fill. This notice is being published in the Federal Register and due to the unexpected circumstances that required the agency to cancel the originally scheduled meeting of March 7th and substitute a new date, convenient to the committee membership and as close to the original data as possible, may appear less than 15 calendar days before the new meeting date. This new date will allow the committee to conduct its business in a timely manner, but may not afford the usual 15 day notice. However, the agency has posted on the committee's website on February 23rd, 2018 notice of the new meeting date, and has also issued a public notice to that effect.

Federal Communications Commission.

Julius P. Knapp,

Chief, Office of Engineering and Technology.
