FCC Chair Carr’s ‘Delete, Delete, Delete’ Agenda Stalls After Surprise Agency Shakeup

Two Federal Communications Commission commissioners are resigning Friday, leaving the FCC with one commissioner short of a quorum to take action.

The departure of Republican Nathan Simington and Democrat Geoffrey Starks will leave the FCC with just two commissioners, GOP Chair Brendan Carr and Democrat Anna Gomez. Without a quorum, any commission-level actions such as new rulemaking or waiver requests will be put on hold until the FCC has three members.
