FCC'S INSPECTOR GENERAL REPORT TO CONGRESS
[SOURCE: Federal Communications Commission]
The FCC's Inspector General, Kent Nilsson, has submitted a report on his work covering April 1 to September 30, 2006. During this period, as in the previous one, his work focused on oversight of the Federal Universal Service Fund. Pursuant to the direction of Chairman Kevin Martin and requests from Senators Barbara Boxer, Byron Dorgan, and Ron Wyden, and Members of Congress, the IG also initiated an inquiry into allegations of inappropriate conduct by individuals at the FCC, past and present, concerning the possible destruction and/or suppression of draft studies or reports regarding localism and media ownership. Nilsson reports that this investigation is ongoing.
