STATEMENT OF COMMISSIONER ROBERT M. MCDOWELL Re: Sections 2.925 and 2.926 of the Rules Regarding Grantee Codes for Certified Radiofrequency Equipment Thank you to Julie Knapp and your entire team for all of your work in this important area. I am voting to approve today’s order, which will permit the Commission to issue longer grantee codes, thus increasing the supply of codes by over eight million. This is an area of FCC responsibility of which many folks may not be aware. As we’ve learned from this morning’s presentation, however, it is important work, not to mention time-consuming, and we thank you for diligence. Given that we are faced with greater challenges in this area, I look forward to staying engaged as we move toward the forthcoming rulemakings.
