Rep McMorris Rodgers asks FCC Chairwoman Rosenworcel about the impact of West Virginia v. EPA

I write to bring to your attention West Virginia v. EPA, a recent Supreme Court decision that clarified the limitations of certain agency action. Given the Biden administration’s track record, we are compelled to underscore the implications of West Virginia v. EPA and to remind you of the limitations on your authority. As the committee of jurisdiction overseeing the FCC, I assure you the Committee and its members will exercise our robust investigative and legislative powers to not only forcefully reassert our Article I responsibilities, but to ensure the FCC under Democrat leadership does not continue to exceed Congressional authorizations. Accordingly, to assist in this effort, please answer the following no later than October 7, 2022:

1. As it relates to your agency, please provide the following:

  • A list of all pending rulemakings and the specific Congressional authority for each rulemaking.
  • A list of all expected rulemakings and the specific Congressional authority for each rulemaking.
  • A list of all pending or expected Declaratory Rulings issued by a Bureau or Office of the FCC on delegated authority.
