The Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC or Commission) Wireline Competition Bureau (Bureau) is seeking nominations for 12 board member positions on the Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC) Board of Directors. The Bureau previously sought and received nominations for the six Board member positions that expired on December 31, 2013.
