Major Information Systems

The Electronic Freedom of Information Act of 1996 directs federal agencies to make indexes of their major information systems available in electronic form. Major information systems are automated or manual systems that require special management attention because they fall into at least one of the categories below:

  1. A financial system that conducts monetary transactions between the FCC and a financial institution.

  2. A licensing system that directly supports the FCC’s charter for regulating interstate and international communications.

  3. Has the potential to cause severe or catastrophic harm to the Commission if its data were compromised.
