Search Primer

Term list: Separate terms with spaces, not commas or semicolons.

Multi-word term: Place inside quotes to ensure an exact match (e.g. "China import").

Acronyms: Use all capital letters to ensure the search is not looking for that letter sequence instead.

Required term: If a term must be included in any resulting articles, prefix it with a plus sign (e.g., +CBP).

Excluded term: If a term should be excluded from any articles being found, prefix it with a minus sign (e.g., -ruling).

Singular form: Always use the singular form when doing multi-word terms (e.g. "russian export control" instead of "russian export controls").

Shortest word form: When you have different word forms in a quoted (multi-word) term, you want to only include the shortest version if it is the last part of the expression (e.g., "entity list" instead of "entity listing" or "entity listed").

FCC Will Be ‘Cattle Prod’ When Multistakeholder Process Fails, Wheeler tells CSRIC

The transition to IP technology shouldn’t change the FCC’s core values of ensuring security and public safety, Chairman Tom Wheeler told the Communications Security, Reliability and Interoperability Council Wednesday. Voluntary agreements between stakeholders are to be encouraged, but it’s also important to collect data to ensure those agreements are being followed through, he said. “We would rather the multistakeholder process deliver results than us have to step in and use our imperfect wisdom,” but the FCC is “dedicated to being the cattle prod” when necessary, he said.

The proposed rule would also set requirements for voluntary remedial actions and recall notices, and would add compliance programs as possible corrective actions. It would apply to importers, manufacturers, retailers, and distributors of consumer products. Comments on the commission’s proposal are due by Feb. 4.
