This agenda may be modified at the discretion of the NANC Chair and the Designated Federal Officer (DFO).

FCC Will Change Address for Hand-Carried Documents; Establishes New Closing Time for those Filings 

The FCC has changed the address for filing hand-carried documents at it’s headquarters and established a new closing time for accepting such filings. Effective upon publication in the Federal Register (not yet occurred), hand-carried documents are to be filed at the FCC’s office located at 9050 Junction Drive, Annapolis Junction, MD 20701. After COVID-19 restrictions are lifted, this will be the only location where hand-carried paper filings for the FCC will be accepted. At that time, the filing window for hand-carried documents will be open from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. The FCC will not accept hand-carried filings outside of those hours. These changes are being made to enhance security measures and in conjunction with the FCC’s upcoming relocation to a new headquarters building located at 45 L Street, NE, Washington, DC 20554, which is scheduled to occur later this year.
