                                <p>Federal Communications Commission chairman Tom Wheeler signaled Thursday that he has no current plans to revisit the FCC's political ad disclosure rules.</p><p>That came in response to a question following the FCC's May meeting about the fact that a bill that would require the FCC to boost those disclosures for issue-oriented ads from Super PACs was not getting traction in the House, while legislators had said the FCC could make the changes on its own initiative.</p><p>Currently, the disclosure rules require identifying the PAC, but not the money that might fund it. The name of the Democratic-backed bill, the Keep Our Campaigns Honest Act (or KOCH Act, as in Republican super-donors the Koch brothers) suggests where the Democrats are coming from. They want the funders of the PACs also to be named in broadcast and cable TV and radio ads.</p><p>Wheeler suggested the FCC is not going there, at least not now, given everything else on its plate at the moment.</p><p>He said if Congress scts, the FCC will certainly follow suit. But as to doing its own revamp, he said, "We have a long list of difficult telecommunications-related decisions that we are dealing right now, and that will be remain our focus at this point in time."</p>
