連邦通信委員会（FCC）のウェブサイト

今、調べ物をしようと思ってFCCのウェブサイトを見たら、例の米国政府機関の閉鎖の影響で、同サイトも閉鎖されていました。。。

記念に（？）メッセージを張り付けておきます。

"Federal Communications Commission

We regret the disruption, but during the Federal Government-wide shutdown, the FCC is limited to performing duties that are immediately necessary for the safety of life or the protection of property. FCC online systems will not be available until further notice.

• FCC Shutdown Plan
• Public Notice on Procedures for Filings
• Notice Regarding Pending Section 214 Applications Due to the Lapse in Appropriations
• Auction 902 Short-Form Application Filing Window Suspended
• Informal Transaction Shot Clocks Suspended During Lapse in Funding
• Postponement of October 2, 2013 E911 Location Accuracy Workshop

If you need to contact the FCC to address an emergency situation, please call: (202) 418-1122 or email: FCCOPCenter@fcc.gov.

Telecommunications companies must continue to use the Network Outage Reporting System (NORS), which will remain available during the shutdown, to file reports of telecommunication service disruptions pursuant to Part 4 of the FCC's rules. NORS allows companies to file Notifications, Initial Reports and Final Reports. The information on service disruptions is essential to maintain and improve the reliability and security of the telecommunications infrastructure.

Vacancy announcements for positions that were open for receipt of applications have been closed and will re-open when the Government is operational.

During this time, the FCC is not accepting any deliveries of supplies, or services that have not been identified as necessary for the safety of life or the protection of property.

The Commission has issued a Public Notice concerning procedures for submissions that would be due to the FCC during the shutdown.

もしやと思い、FTCのサイトを見たら、こちらも閉鎖されていました。。

"Unfortunately, the Federal Trade Commission is closed due to the government shutdown.

The FTC Premerger Notification Office will be open to accept HSR filings.
Consumers may file FOlA requests, but they will not be processed.
Consumers cannot file complaints or register for Do Not Call.
All public workshops, roundtables, hearings and conferences are postponed until further notice.
We hope to be open soon. "

上記通知によると、さすがに合併の届け出は受け付けているみたいですね。

DOJのサイトはまだ開いているみたいですが、これもいつ閉じられるか分かりませんね。

本当に困ったものです。
