FCC Folds Media Bureau's Engineering Division into the Industry Analysis Division

The Federal Communications Commission concluded that it will serve the public interest and improve its operations to streamline the organization of the Media Bureau. Specifically, the FCC eliminated the Engineering Division and folded the work and staff of the Engineering Division into the Media Bureau’s Industry Analysis Division (IAD). The FCC said it is taking this action to account for changes in the Engineering Division’s duties and in the organizational structure of the FCC. By incorporating the work and staff of the Engineering Division into IAD, the FCC says it can better ensure that the Bureau’s technical expertise is integrated more fully into the Bureau’s adjudicatory matters and policy proceedings.
