状语还是定语

Meanwhile, the theft of information about some 40 million credit-card accounts in America, disclosed on June 17th, overshadowed a hugely important decision a day earlier by America's Federal Trade Commission (FTC) that puts corporate Americaon notice that regulators will act if firms fail to provide adequate data security.

句中 a day earlier...是状语还是定语吗?

a day earlier 是时间副词作状语，修饰介词短语 by America's Federal Trade Commission。说明“美国联邦贸易委员会（FTC）前一天作出的决定”，而整个 a day earlier by America's Federal Trade Commission 是作decision 的定语。

我觉得 a day earlier 是decision的定语。by介词短语也是定语。它们分别是decision作动词decide时的时间状语和施事者。现在decision用作名词，二者分别分析为定语，但二者之间不存在互相修饰关系。

补充一下，其实要说that从句修饰decision和FTC都可以，因为这个decision本质也是FTC提出的，从语义上都说的通。但是从逻辑紧性上来看，FTC提出decision，decision使得美国企业注意到xxx，decision在逻辑上更紧密，基于这个原因，反推that从句修饰decision，但是你要说修饰FTC也不是不可以，只是修饰decision更准确更紧密。
