FCC's O'Rielly Names Temporary Advisers

New Federal Communications Commission member Michael O'Rielly has named a temporary adviser team while he assembles a permanent staff, tapping expertise already at the commission. Erin McGrath, a Wireless Bureau veteran, will be acting legal advisor for wireless issues. It is a familiar posting for McGrath. In 2011, she was named acting legal advisor for media issues to Commissioner O'Rielly's predecessor, Robert McDowell, from her post as assistant division chief in the Wireless Bureau. Amy Bender has been tapped as acting legal advisor for wireline issues. Appropriately, she comes from the Wireline Bureau. Brittany Gomes, from the Consumer and Government Affairs Bureau, has been named staff assistant. Acting confidential assistant is Susan Fisenne, who is being detailed from Consumer and Governmental Affairs.
