Democratic Federal Communications Commissioner Michael Copps has been designated by President Barack Obama to serve as acting FCC Chair.
The interim appointment, announced Thursday (Jan. 22) follows the Jan. 20 resignation of Republican Kevin Martin.
“I thank President Obama for his confidence in me and for this opportunity to serve. I know that I have a truly gifted and terrific team to work with. I pledge every effort I am capable of to help steer the Commission through its current transition to new leadership,” Copps said in a statement.
Copps is expected to serve until President Obama nominates Julius Genachowski, his campaign’s technology adviser, to the post.
