President Biden has named FCC Commis- sioner Jessica Rosenworcel as the agency's acting chairwoman. Rosenworcel was first named to the Commission
by President Obama, then appointed to another term by President Trump in
2017 after the Senate failed to act on her renomination in 2016. She is a communications lawyer who previously served as Senior Communications
Counsel for the United States Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation.

There has been no indication from the White House as to whether
Rosenworcel's appointment is temporary or whether she will be nominated to
a full term as chairwoman. The chairmanship became vacant when former
chairman Ajit Pai left the Commission on January 20.
