The FCC deleted its own rules about how it deletes rules
What happened
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) just removed a set of its own rules. These rules previously governed how the agency would go about deleting outdated or unnecessary regulations.
Why it matters
This document is a meta-signal. The FCC is not just deleting old rules, it is deleting the rules about how it deletes rules. This means the agency can now remove regulations without following its own previously established process. It simplifies the internal process for future deregulation efforts.
The signal
Watch for whether the FCC starts removing other regulations more quickly or with less public process than before.
