FCC BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2012
Washington, D.C. -- The President has submitted a budget to Congress that proposes fiscal year 
2012 funding for the Federal Communications Commission of $354.2 million.
The requested FY 2012 funding level would include: implementing the National Broadband 
Plan, a roadmap for economic growth and American competitiveness in the 21st century; 
overhauling the Commission’s data systems and processes, to streamline the FCC and make it 
even more effective; continuing to modernize and reform the FCC; strengthening the audit and 
investigation function of the Office of the Inspector General; and supporting the Commission’s 
public safety and cyber-security roles.
The request would also provide funds to cover mandatory inflationary increases for contractual 
services.
The complete copy of the Commission’s FY 2012 budget submission is available on the FCC’s 
Web site at: www.fcc.gov.
