President Joe Biden has designated Acting Federal Communications Commission Chair Jessica Rosenworcel to lead the FCC officially, while nominating a fifth commissioner to fill out an empty seat and a new assistant secretary at the National Telecommunications and Information Administration.
Rosenworcel will be the first woman to officially chair the FCC in the agency’s history. She is the second woman to serve as acting chair; former FCC Commissioner Mignon Clyburn was the first woman to fill the acting chair position.
