FCC Suspends Deadline for Comments on Talton Petition
The FCC Wireline Bureau suspended “indefinitely” deadlines to file public comments and reply comments on a Talton petition seeking a waiver of the commission’s rules capping the rates for audio and video for incarcerated people provided to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The suspension came after the United Church of Christ (UCC) Media Justice Ministry protested Talton’s failure to provide data that the ministry needs to comment on the petition (see 2505020024).

"We further suspend the deadlines … pending Bureau review of Talton’s request for confidential treatment of certain information in its Petition and of the UCC filing opposing such treatment,” said an order in Wednesday’s Daily Digest in docket 23-62. “We find that suspending the comment and reply comment deadlines indefinitely, rather than adopting revised deadlines on dates certain, would best serve the public interest.” The bureau earlier suspended the comment cycle on the petition after UCC and other groups objected (see 2504170020).
