Effective November 1, 2004, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) will implement its new rules further implementing the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996 (DCIA). The new rules will have an impact on anyone doing business with the FCC who is delinquent in debt owed to the agency.
The new rule, found at 47 C.F.R. §1.1910 and commonly referred to as the “red light rule,” provides that anyone filing an application or seeking a benefit from the Commission or one of its components who is delinquent in debts owed to the Commission, will be barred from receiving a license or other benefit until the delinquency has been resolved. The Pooling Administrator has been advised by the FCC that the term “other benefit” includes thousands-blocks.
