If the FAA's views had been made a part of the record sooner (like in 2018 or 2019), a deal could have been made to fund the retrofitting of radar altimeters, according to @haroldfeld. It's a common technique that's been used in prior situations. https://t.co/PYu7vJsnNX — PolitiTweet.org

The FAA never responded to CNN's questions about what, if any, further steps it took to ensure its views reached the FCC. https://t.co/PYu7vJsnNX — PolitiTweet.org
Brian Fung | @[email protected] @b_fung
Setting the letter aside, the former FCC chief of staff said that the FAA's options didn't end there. The agency could have sued to stop the plan anytime after the FCC approved the order, and even after its letter went missing. https://t.co/PYu7vJsnNX — PolitiTweet.org
Brian Fung | @[email protected] @b_fung
But even if the letter had made it into the FCC record, whether directly or via NTIA, it still was written months after the FCC had already planned, negotiated, voted out and finalized the 5G order. The vote was in Feb. 2020. The letter was in December. https://t.co/PYu7vJsnNX — PolitiTweet.org
Brian Fung | @[email protected] @b_fung
That is not what the Department of Transportation's lawyers believed, according to one of the officials involved with the letter. They insisted that going through NTIA was the correct move. Both views are correct in their own way, experts say. https://t.co/PYu7vJsnNX — PolitiTweet.org
Brian Fung | @[email protected] @b_fung
A former FCC chief of staff told us that it is "extremely disturbing" that NTIA declined to relay the letter to the FCC. Still, there was nothing preventing FAA from filing directly to the FCC irrespective of NTIA, he and many other experts said. https://t.co/PYu7vJsnNX — PolitiTweet.org
Brian Fung | @[email protected] @b_fung
Unfortunately for the FAA, however, NTIA did not pass along the letter this time. NTIA's engineers disagreed with the conclusions of the FAA letter, according to the head of NTIA at the time. https://t.co/PYu7vJsnNX — PolitiTweet.org
Brian Fung | @[email protected] @b_fung
This was a reasonable expectation; by both custom and congressional charter, NTIA is supposed to make sure executive branch views of airwaves are effectively presented to the FCC. https://t.co/PYu7vJsnNX — PolitiTweet.org
Brian Fung | @[email protected] @b_fung
So, evidence that doesn't make it into the agency record doesn't count. Like this FAA letter. So what went wrong with the letter? It turns out that the FAA sent it to an arm of the Commerce Department, expecting that office (NTIA) to pass it on. https://t.co/PYu7vJsnNX — PolitiTweet.org

The purpose of making this paper trail public is so that if people want to second-guess the agency later, they can point to what the agency knew at the time and/or what it should have known. — PolitiTweet.org
Brian Fung | @[email protected] @b_fung
To understand why that's important, we have to delve a bit into administrative procedure. Independent regulatory agencies like the FCC, by law, can only make major policy decisions with public input. That input has to have a paper trail. — PolitiTweet.org
Brian Fung | @[email protected] @b_fung
The FAA did write a letter intended for the FCC back in Dec. 2020 expressing grave concerns. But that letter was both written too late to affect the planning process and also never actually made it into the FCC record. https://t.co/PYu7vJsnNX — PolitiTweet.org
Brian Fung | @[email protected] @b_fung
The FAA has warned of possible 5G interference risks for years. But those warnings all occurred in outside forums and not in the one proceeding that really counted: The FCC's rulemaking process for 5G. https://t.co/PYu7vJsnNX — PolitiTweet.org
Brian Fung | @[email protected] @b_fung
But these near-term factors are mostly overshadowed by much bigger, sweeping issues. The biggest one is that the FAA never ended up participating in the design process for the rules and regulations that would govern 5G airwaves in the US. https://t.co/PYu7vJsnNX — PolitiTweet.org

Aviation sources also said that if the Biden administration had moved to fill key federal vacancies sooner, that could also have helped to avert the last-minute showdown. https://t.co/PYu7vJsnNX — PolitiTweet.org
Brian Fung | @[email protected] @b_fung
@petemuntean @gregorywallace A big near-term factor for the 5G kerfuffle was that aviation officials didn't have the data from telcos to do the safety assessment they wanted. Once aviation and wireless officials started talking directly, things got easier. But it took time. https://t.co/PYu7vJsnNX — PolitiTweet.org

NEW: A week after that 5G rollout debacle, a clearer picture is emerging about the crisis' origins. @petemuntean, @gregorywallace and I look at some of the key factors behind it, including a divided federal bureaucracy and a big missed opportunity. https://t.co/PYu7vJsnNX — PolitiTweet.org

Just checked the FAA's page on 5G. As of around 7 ET this morning, it still said only about 78% of the US commercial aircraft fleet had altimeters cleared for use around 5G signals. It now says 90%. Progress! https://t.co/xVFfUbqy68 https://t.co/ANMpdtVT2W — PolitiTweet.org
