What’s new: RNT Foundation President Dana A. Goward met with FCC Commissioner Trusty and staff recently to discuss global and national PNT policy.
Why it’s important: The FCC has three dockets, that we know of, that deal entirely or in part with PNT policy.
What else to know:
- The theme of the meeting was the same as September’s PNT Leadership Summit – “How do we protect America’s GPS and PNT?” See discussion outline in the link below.
- While all the commissioners are appointed by the President, the commission is not part of the executive branch. It is an independent agency, primarily responsible for executing its mandate under the law. It is lightly “supervised” and ultimately reports to Congress.
