On March 12, 2025, FCC released a Public Notice seeking comment to identify every rule, regulation, or guidance document that the FCC should eliminate for the purpose of reducing unnecessary regulatory burdens.
Commenters are encouraged to consider certain policy factors:
- Cost-benefit considerations
- Experience gained from the implementation of the rule
- Marketplace and technological changes
- Regulation as barrier to entry to the communications marketplace
- Changes in the broader regulatory context
- Changes in, or other implications of, the governing legal framework
- Other considerations relevant to the retrospective review of Commission rules
This new proceeding will assist the FCC in carrying out the policies that President Trump included in certain Executive Orders, including Executive Order 14192 (“Unleashing Prosperity Through Deregulation”) and Executive Order 14219 (“Ensuring Lawful Governance and Implementing the President’s ‘Department of Government Efficiency’ Deregulatory Initiative”).
Interested parties may file comments by accessing the FCC’s Electronic Comment Filing System at https://www.fcc.gov/ecfs/filings. All filings must reference GN Docket No. 25-133. Filings raising issues related to other open Commission dockets should also reference those dockets. People with disabilities who need assistance to file comments online may request assistance by email to FCC504@fcc.gov.
