SUMMARY:Office of Native Affairs and Policy Quarterly Informational Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Greetings from the FCC’s Office of Native Affairs and Policy. \nWe are pleased to invite you to our Quarterly Information Webinar\, scheduled for Tuesday\, November 10\, 2026.  The agenda will include updates from the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau on a Report and Order (Order) which adopts a series of permitting reforms that will modernize the agency’s approach to National Environmental Policy Act regulations\, and a Further Notice of Proposed Rule Making (FNPRM) that seeks additional comment on the agency’s National Historic Preservation Act framework.  The Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau will also join us to discuss a Notice of Inquiry which takes a comprehensive examination of our 911 framework in light of rapidly emerging new technologies to ensure the public can continue to effectively and reliably access emergency services in a way that is consistent with consumer expectations.  Lastly\, the Consumers and Governmental Affairs Bureau will provide an overview on modernizing Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) rules to empower consumers to stop specific categories of robocalls without inadvertently stopping the important informational calls they do want. \nEvent: FCC’s Office of Native Affairs and Policy Quarterly Informational Webinar\nDate: Tuesday\, November 10\, 2026\nTime: 2:00 – 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time\nHow to join: Click here to register \nThe briefing will be conducted virtually.  After registering\, you will receive a confirmation email with information on how to join the webinar. \nTime has been scheduled to include Q&A as part of the webinar.  We will aim to answer as many questions as possible. \nPlease send an email message to Native@fcc.gov if you have any questions. \nWe hope that you can join us on November 10. \nBambi Kraus\, Chief\nOffice of Native Affairs and Policy
