I happened to run into somebody who works for the FCC, and he said that you really can just send any comments about FCC proposed regulations or things you would like them to regulate to any obvious address. So I guess that would be: Federal Communications Commission 1919 M Street, NW Washington, DC 20554 Apparently, all the legalese about "ex parte presentations" and "Sunshine Agenda" and requirements for sending copies are not really things you have to worry about. I think some of this is about stopping people from making covert comments to individual decision makers at the FCC. With regard to the FCC's proposed regulations on 900 numbers that started this discussion, it looks like they wanted comments by April 24 and reply comments by May 24, but I don't know if there is any real significance to those dates.
