FCC PROVIDES ADDITIONAL DETAILS REGARDING THE SECOND
NATIONAL HEARING ON NETWORK RESILIENCE AND RELIABILITY 
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) provides a more detailed agenda for the field 
hearing scheduled for February 28, 2013, in Moffett Field, California. This event is the second in a planned 
series of field hearings to examine challenges to the nation’s communications networks during natural 
disasters and in other times of crisis.1
The hearing information is as follows: 
.
 
1 This meeting was previously announced in a Public Notice, DA 13-245 (Feb. 20, 2013), but that public notice 
inadvertently was not published in the Federal Register. The Commission has determined that, to the extent the previous public 
notice was insufficient for purposes of Section 0.605, the prompt and orderly conduct of the Commission's business requires that 
this notice be issued less than one week prior to the meeting and that earlier notice was not practicable, since the failure to publish 
the earlier public notice was just discovered. Action by the Commission, February 26, 2013.  
Date: February 28, 2013
Location: NASA Ames Research Center
