Federal Communications Commission

Overview

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is an independent agency of the U.S. government that regulates interstate and international communications. Established by the Communications Act of 1934, its mission is to ensure that all Americans have access to efficient communication services while promoting public safety and fair competition. The FCC oversees a wide range of communication technologies, including radio, television, wire, satellite, and cable.

The agency is led by five commissioners appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate. It operates under the oversight of Congress and is funded entirely by regulatory fees. The FCC develops and enforces communications laws, facilitates public participation in decision-making, and provides consumer outreach and education. Its organizational structure includes six operating bureaus and ten staff offices, each focusing on specific regulatory functions. The FCC plays a crucial role in maintaining a fair and secure communications environment for the public and service providers.
