Forced under political pressure to take a few steps back from its initial proposal to eliminate two-thirds of its Enforcement Bureau field offices, the FCC has announced its final, scaled-down plan to reorganize its field resources. In anOrder released July 16, the Commission said it would close 11 of its 24 field offices and relocate three others to nearby FCC-owned sites. In slimming down its field resources and upgrading those that remain, the FCC said it was acting in the name of efficiency and economy as well as to modernize a system model adopted 2 decades ago.
“Since then, technological changes and increasingly limited resources have created the need to take a fresh look at the [Enforcement] Bureau’s field operations,” the FCC Order said. The FCC said it has completed “a full review” of the field organization and concluded that it needs to concentrate its field resources “in urban areas, where the need for them is greatest.”
