H.R. 2844, the “Federal Communications Commission Consolidated Reporting Act of 2013”
On July 26, 2013, Rep. Steve Scalise, Subcommittee on Communications and Technology Chairman Greg Walden, Ranking Member Anna Eshoo, and Rep. Gregg Harper introduced H.R. 2844, the Federal Communications Commission Consolidated Reporting Act of 2013. This bill streamlines outdated Federal Communications Commission (FCC) reporting requirements to allow the agency to devote limited resources more efficiently. The legislation consolidates eight mandated FCC reports into a single comprehensive report on communications marketplace competition and also eliminates twelve outdated reports mandated by the Communications Act. The legislation is identical to the text of H.R. 3310 from the 112th Congress, which passed the House by a voice vote on May 30, 2012. H.R. 2844 passed the House by a vote of 415-0 on September 9, 2013.
