STATEMENT OF FCC COMMISSIONER AJIT PAI
ON HOUSE PASSAGE OF THE FCC PROCESS REFORM ACT OF 2013
I applaud the U.S. House of Representatives for passing the Federal Communications 
Commission Process Reform Act of 2013, H.R. 3675, and I commend the leaders of the Energy and 
Commerce Committee’s Subcommittee on Communications and Technology—Chairman Walden and 
Ranking Member Eshoo—for their bipartisan efforts to advance this legislation.
I hope that this common-sense bill, as well as the Federal Communications Commission 
Consolidated Reporting Act of 2013, H.R. 2844, which the House of Representatives passed 415 to 0 
back in September, will soon be enacted into law.  Together, these bills recognize the need to modernize 
the FCC to reflect our dynamic, converged communications marketplace.  And they would eliminate 
outdated mandates on the agency, streamline its operations, and make it more accountable to the public.  
These are two pieces of straightforward, good-government legislation, and I hope that the President will 
soon have the opportunity to sign them.
