The meeting will be held online only, and will be streamed live with open captioning at <a href="https://www.fcc.gov/live">https://www.fcc.gov/live</a>. <br><br>As part of the agenda, the Commission will consider a draft Report and Order expanding the audio description requirements by an additional 10 designated market areas each year for the next four years. In addition, the draft Report and Order will modernize the Commission's terminology to use the more common and widely understood term "audio description" rather than "video description." <br><br>October 27 Meeting Press Release: <br>URL: <a href="https://www.fcc.gov/document/fcc-announces-tentative-agenda-october-open-meeting-6">https://www.fcc.gov/document/fcc-announces-tentative-agenda-october-open-meeting-6</a><br>Word: <a href="https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/DOC-367365A1.docx">https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/DOC-367365A1.docx</a><br>PDF:????? <a href="https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/DOC-367365A1.pdf">https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/DOC-367365A1.pdf</a><br>Text:???? <a href="https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/DOC-367365A1.txt">https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/DOC-367365A1.txt</a><br><br>Draft Audio Description Item: <br>PDF: <a href="https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/DOC-367362A1.pdf">https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/DOC-367362A1.pdf</a><br><br>For general information about audio description, please visit the FCC's webpage: <a href="https://www.fcc.gov/audio-description">https://www.fcc.gov/audio-description</a>.
