Modernize the FCC

The FCC shall strive to be a highly productive, adaptive, and innovative organization that maximizes the benefit to stakeholders, staff, and management from effective systems, processes, resources, and organizational culture.

The FCC has committed itself to making the fundamental changes necessary to become a more responsive, efficient, and effective agency capable of facing the technological and economic opportunities of the new millennium.

While these changes have begun with an agency-wide reorganization and dedication of resources to recruiting, training, equipping, and deploying an expert workforce, much remains to be done as the agency seeks to capitalize on its competencies in:

• Promoting competition, innovation, and investment in broadband services and facilities,
• Supporting the Nation’s economy by ensuring an appropriate competitive framework for the unfolding of the communications revolution,
• Encouraging the highest and best use of spectrum domestically and internationally,
• Revising media regulations so that new technologies flourish alongside diversity and localism, and
• Providing leadership in strengthening the defense of the Nation’s communications infrastructure.

• Structure the FCC so that it can flexibly respond to Congress, consumers, and the communications industries in a timely manner.

• Provide and sustain mission-critical training and development in order to ensure excellence among a diverse and expert staff.

• Offer employees educational and advancement opportunities.
