Abstract: "The Federal Communications Commission regulates interstate and foreign communications by radio, television, wire, satellite, and cable. It is responsible for the orderly development and operation of broadcast services and the provision of rapid, efficient nationwide and worldwide telephone and telegraph services at reasonable rates. Its responsibilities also include the use of communications for promoting safety of life and property and for strengthening the national defense."
Purpose: Selected publications of this and other United States government agencies are available through the Federal Depository Library Program (FDLP). The index to the publications available through the FDLP is the Monthly Catalog of United States Government Publications (MOCAT), which also includes ordering information for those publications available for sale. Many publications are available to the public in the approximately 1300 Federal depository libraries throughout the United States. See also data in this record for Access Constraints and User Constraints, where such limitations on this agency's publications are appropriate.
Agency Program: "The Federal Communications Commission was created by the Communications Act of 1934 (47 U.S.C. 151 et seq.) to regulate interstate and foreign communications by wire and radio in the public interest. It was assigned additional regulatory jurisdiction under the provisions of the Communications Satellite Act of 1962 (47 U.S.C. 701-744). The scope of its regulation includes radio and television broadcasting; telephone, telegraph, and cable television operation; two-way radio and radio operators; and satellite communication."
