The FCC’s Wireline Competition Bureau is seeking nominations for six positions on the Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC) Board of Directors. Each Board member will serve a three-year term. The FCC is seeking nominations for representatives for: (1) commercial mobile radio service providers; (2) cable providers; (3) schools that are eligible to receive discounts pursuant to FCC rules; (4) libraries that are eligible to receive discounts pursuant to FCC rules; (5) incumbent local exchange carriers; and (6) state consumer advocates. The FCC continues to believe that having USAC Board members with experience related to managing a large organization, including finance, accounting, data management, and information technology, will help improve USAC’s management and oversight. If members of a specific industry or non-industry group either do not reach consensus on a candidate to serve on the Board or do not submit a nomination for a particular position, FCC Chairwoman Rosenworcel will select an individual from that industry or non-industry group to serve on the Board. Nominations are due by October 24, 2022.
