House Energy & Commerce Committee
“Oversight of the Federal Communications Commission”
No antitrust- or privacy-related hearings this week, but for those of you curious as to how the other regulatory body plans to handle Comcast-Time Warner Cable and AT&T-DirecTV, you may want to tune in to tomorrow’s FCC oversight hearing, where Chairman Tom Wheeler will be the sole witness.
A link to his prepared testimony may be found here. Neither of the mergers are discussed, but it will most certainly come up during questioning by the members.

A draft of the “Standard Merger and Acquisitions Review Through Equal Rules Act of 2014” has been released. The bill would align the FTC’s preliminary injunction standard in merger review cases with that of the DOJ, eliminate the ability of the FTC to challenge a merger through an administrative proceeding, and bring FTC final judgments under Tunney Act review.
A copy of the legislation may be found here.
The House Judiciary Committee will be holding a hearing on the bill at 1 pm today (details here).
