Attorney ROSEMARY C. HAROLD is rejoining the FCC as Chief of the Enforcement Bureau, taking the slot vacated by controversial former Chief TRAVIS LE BLANC and more recently held by Acting Bureau Chief MICHAEL CAROWITZ, who will serve as Deputy Bureau Chief. 

HAROLD was then-Commissioner ROBERT MCDOWELL's legal advisor and a Deputy Chief of the Media Bureau before leaving to join WILKINSON BARKER KNAUER LLP in 2011; she previously worked as a reporter and bureau chief at the MIAMI HERALD and an editor at C-SPAN.

“This agency has a critical role to play in enforcing the law to protect consumers and support competition in the communications marketplace,” said PAI. “Our Enforcement Bureau has been getting back on track in recent months, and I am confident in ROSEMARY’s ability to continue this progress. Our enforcement efforts must be governed by the facts and the law, and ROSEMARY’s experience and expertise will help us conduct sound investigations and craft legally sustainable enforcement actions. This is especially important when it comes to FCC priorities like protecting consumers against illegal robocalls and confronting unlawful interference with broadcast licensees. I greatly appreciate ROSEMARY’s willingness to serve.”

On CAROWITZ' service, PAI added, “MICHAEL’s steady hand at the helm of this important Bureau has helped us stay on task in protecting consumers and enforcing the law. I thank Michael for his superb and tireless work -- including his focus on reaching out to our field office staff who play such an important role in fulfilling our mission.”
