FCC Enforcement Update, Episode 13: Bureau Insights

In this edition of Full Spectrum’s recurring series on FCC enforcement, Partner Steve Augustino and Senior Associate Brad Currier provide their takeaways from a recent Federal Communications Bar Association event featuring FCC Enforcement Bureau Chief Rosemary Harold and her deputies. The event provided insights on the Bureau’s key enforcement focus areas not available from the FCC’s public releases, including developments involving the Bureau's new Fraud Division, robocalling enforcement, and more “bread and butter” unauthorized operations issues. Steve and Brad also discuss some best practice tips provided by the Bureau Chief and her staff related to self-disclosures of violations and the use of tolling agreements in complex investigations. The event shows that there still is much to talk about on FCC enforcement, even in the dog days of summer.
