of Strategic Planning and Policy Analysis. The Commission's Chief
Economist, Michelle
Connolly,
also makes her home in OSP and she reports to the Chairman on economic
issues. Ms. Andrion and Dr. Connolly can be contacted

This Office is responsible for working with the Chairman, Commissioners, Bureaus
and Offices to develop a strategic plan identifying short and long
term policy objectives for the agency. As part of this process,
OSP helps prepare the agency's annual budget ensuring that budget
proposals mesh with agency policy objectives and plans. OSP also
works with the Office of the Chairman and the Managing Director
in developing a workforce strategy consistent with agency policy-related
requirements.
OSP continues the tradition of sophisticated and timely
policy analysis and development set by the former Office of Plans
and Policy. OSP is responsible for monitoring the state of the communications
industry to identify trends, issues and overall industry health,
and produces staff working papers. The Office acts as expert consultants
to the Commission in areas of economic, business and market analysis
and other subjects that cut across traditional lines such as the
Internet. The Office also reviews legal trends and developments
not necessarily related to current FCC proceedings, such as intellectual
property law, Internet and e-commerce issues.
