In that order, the Commission imposed civil penalties against a communications provider for allegedly violating Section 222 of the Communications Act. In a decision with far reaching implications for the FCC’s enforcement authority, the Fifth Circuit held that the FCC’s “in-house adjudication” violated the Seventh Amendment to the U.S. Constitution by “denying [the provider] an Article III decisionmaker and a jury trial.” Op. 1–2.

Further, the Memorandum instructs that “[i]n effectuating” such repeals, agencies should proceed “without notice and comment” pursuant to a statutory “good cause” exception in the Administrative Procedure Act (APA).
