A Call for Input: Improving Government Efficiency at the FCC

Improving Federal Communications Commission processes and procedures to more efficiently and effectively serve the public interest is one of the top priorities for new FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler.

We are soliciting public input on improving the efficiency of how we conduct business here at the FCC. We know that stakeholders who interact with the FCC will have many thoughts on substantive reforms that the agency should undertake, but for this effort, we are particularly interested in your ideas and insights to improve the efficiency of the process at the FCC. In particular, we are interested in any thoughts on what concrete steps the FCC can take to:

• Streamline, update and eliminate inefficient, outdated or duplicative processes;
• Improve the effectiveness of communications between the public and the FCC;
• Make information collections and reports more focused, transparent and relevant;
• Expand the overall transparency of the workings of the agency; and
• Any other ideas to improve the focus, speed and efficiency of the FCC’s workflows.

The FCC is seeking input by December 2, 2013.
