House Passes FCC Report Consolidation Bill

The House unanimously passed the Federal Communications Commission Consolidated Reporting Act (H.R. 2844). The bill consolidates eight FCC annual reports to Congress, including its cable price and video competition reviews, into a single biennial report.

FCC Commissioner Ajit Pai said, “The FCC's reporting requirements are numerous, outdated, and unnecessarily burdensome. Replacing them with a single biennial Communications Marketplace Report will not only enable more efficient use of agency resources, it will also provide Congress and the public with a comprehensive and far more useful set of data that reflects the realities of today's converged marketplace.”
