WASHINGTON, D.C. — In September 2020, it was new.
Now, the public will finally get the chance to see the interior of the FCC‘s L Street headquarters themselves.
The FCC today finally revealed new visitor policies for its headquarters facilities that go into effect on Thursday (6/9).
Visitors who adhere to the FCC’s facility security screening process and COVID-19 safety protocols will be allowed at FCC facilities — but only if they have a scheduled meeting with FCC staff, who will host and escort the guests.
The big news, however, is that the FCC’s July Open Meeting will be its first to allow in-person media and public attendance since February 2020, when the Commission was still housed at the Portals, due west of L’Enfant Plaza.
Today, the FCC is steps north of Union Station and a one-mile walk from the Hart Senate Office Building in the “NoMa” neighborhood, a newly hip, redeveloped area that is also home to NPR. In fact, it’s right across the street from the FCC.
All FCC visitors must self-assess their health for possible symptoms of COVID-19 within the last 48 hours using the CDC Facility Access Tool.
