Whispering Into Princes' Ears: An Empirical Analysis of Ex Parte Meetings at the Federal Communications Commission
SSRNSherrod Blankner
2018 The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) produces most of its orders through informal notice-and-comment rule making. Under this process, the FCC promulgates a proposed rule and then solicits comments before issuing a binding regulation. Its procedures allow commissioners and staff to meet with regulated entities in on-going matters, but parties must submit an "ex parte letter" listing the meeting's attendees and the matters discussed. These letters are filed in the FCC's electronic comment filing system (ECFS).
