   The FCC Open Meeting, scheduled for April 22, 2021 includes several   
   items of interest. During the April meeting, the third meeting led by   
   Acting Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel, the FCC will consider seven   
   agenda items plus an enforcement order. The items include two   
   emergency service items - a Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking   
   ("FNPRM") to examine expanding the National Suicide Prevention   
   Lifeline to support text messaging to 988 - and a Third Notice of   
   Proposed Rulemaking to promote public safety by ensuring that 911 call   
   centers and consumers are notified of disruptions to 911 service in a   
   timely manner. The FCC will also consider a Notice of Proposed   
   Rulemaking to permit licensed wireless microphone users to operate a   
   new wireless microphone technology called Wireless Multi-Channel Audio   
   System ("WMAS") technology on frequencies already available for Part   
   74 licensed wireless microphone operations in certain bands. Finally,   
   the Commission will consider an enforcement item at its meeting, but,   
   as is the custom with enforcement actions, the subject of the   
   enforcement and the nature of the action is not disclosed prior to the   
   vote on the item.
