BILLING CODE 6570-01-P FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION Sunshine Act Meetings Open Commission Meeting Wednesday, February 28, 2013 FCC Provides Additional Details Regarding the Second National Hearing on Network Resilience and Reliability The Federal Communications Commission

(FCC)provides a more detailed agenda for the field hearing scheduled for February 28, 2013, in Moffett Field, California. This event is the second in a planned series of field hearings to examine challenges to the nation's communications networks during natural disasters and in other times of crisis. 1 1 This meeting was previously announced in a Public Notice, DA 13-245 (Feb. 20, 2013), but that public notice inadvertently was not published in the **Federal Register** . The Commission has determined that, to the extent the previous public notice was insufficient for purposes of Section 0.605, the prompt and orderly conduct of the Commission's business requires that this notice be issued less than one week prior to the meeting and that earlier notice was not practicable, since the failure to publish the earlier public notice was just discovered. Action by the Commission, February 26, 2013. The hearing information is as follows: Date: February 28, 2013 Location: NASA Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, CA 94035 1:00 p.m. (PST): Welcome and Opening Remarks 1:40 p.m.: Panel #1: *Innovative network technologies and smart power solutions to improve communications network resiliency in times of disaster* • Hirohito Noda, Chief Representative of the Washington, DC, Office, NTT DOCOMO USA, Inc. • Nayeem Islam, Vice President and Head of Qualcomm Research Silicon Valley • Haresh Kamath, Program Manager for Energy Storage, Electric Power Research Institute • Thomas Nagel, Senior Vice President, Business Development and Strategy, Communications and Data Services, Comcast 2:35 p.m.: Panel #2: *Employing innovative social media, open data and geo-location apps to enhance communications during emergencies* • Alicia Johnson, Resilience and Recovery Manager, City of San Francisco Department of Emergency Management • Fred Wolens, Public Policy Team Member, Facebook • Ari Gesher, Senior Software Engineer and Engineering Ambassador, Palantir Technologies • George Chamales, Principal, Rogue Genius LLC 3:30 p.m.: End of Hearing The FCC will attempt to accommodate as many attendees as possible; however, admittance will be limited to seating availability.
