The U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is continuing its efforts to streamline its regulations under its “Delete, Delete, Delete” initiative.
In the latest round, the Commission voted to remove 11 outdated and “useless” rule provisions from its regulations. The FCC says that this round of changes covers 39 “regulatory burdens,” 7194 words, and 16 pages.
Specifically, the changes repeal restrictions on phone booth enclosures and captioning on analog TV receivers, as well as auction provisions that reportedly expired 20 years ago and references to telegraph rules that were repealed decades earlier.
The FCC’s actions under its “Delete, Delete, Delete” initiative are based on a Proceeding it issued in March of this year (see GN Docket No. 25-133), under which the Commission intends to eliminate what it believes to be unnecessary or overly burdensome rules.
The FCC’s Final Rule in connection with its latest efforts under its “Delete, Delete, Delete” initiative is available at https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/FCC-25-40A1.pdf.
