{"abstract":"The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) will convene a virtual listening session on screen use in schools, as it relates to the Federal Communication Commission's (FCC's) E-Rate program. The FCC has initiated a Notice of Proposed Rule Making (NPRM), which includes a public comment period, to examine whether the E-Rate program is serving the long-term interests of children--or instead encouraging excessive screen-based instruction in K-12 schools at the expense of child development and academic outcomes (https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/08/14/2026-16590/fcc- to-review-e-rate-program-to-ensure-congresss-vision). This session invites parents, students, educators, and child development specialists to provide input into the NPRM process.","action":"Notice of open meeting.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE","name":"Commerce Department","id":54,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/commerce-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/54","parent_id":null,"slug":"commerce-department"},{"raw_name":"National Telecommunications and Information Administration","name":"National Telecommunications and Information Administration","id":373,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/national-telecommunications-and-information-administration","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/373","parent_id":54,"slug":"national-telecommunications-and-information-administration"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2026/08/27/2026-17435.html","cfr_references":[],"citation":"91 FR 55321","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"The listening session will be held on September 15, 2026, from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., Eastern Daylight Time (EDT).","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":[],"dockets":[],"document_number":"2026-17435","effective_on":null,"end_page":55322,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2026/08/27/2026-17435.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/08/27/2026-17435/ntia-listening-session-on-screen-based-instruction-in-k-12-schools","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/2026-17435?publication_date=2026-08-27","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2026-08-27/2026-17435/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":2,"page_views":{"count":643,"last_updated":"2026-10-23 18:15:05 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2026-08-27/pdf/2026-17435.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2026-17435.pdf?1787748309","publication_date":"2026-08-27","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2026/08/27/2026-17435.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{},"regulation_id_numbers":[],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"checked_regulationsdotgov_at":"2026-08-27T05:38:39Z"},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":null,"signing_date":null,"start_page":55321,"subtype":null,"title":"NTIA Listening Session on Screen-Based Instruction in K-12 Schools","toc_doc":"Listening Session on Screen-Based Instruction in K12 Schools","toc_subject":"Hearings, Meetings, Proceedings, etc.","topics":[],"type":"Notice","volume":91}
