FCC CHAIRMAN STATEMENT ON FIELD OFFICE MODERNIZATION 
PROPOSAL
  --
WASHINGTON, June 9, 2015 – Federal Communications Commission Chairman Tom Wheeler 
today issued the following statement on his proposal to reorganize the agency’s field offices:
“Today, I circulated to my fellow Commissioners a modified plan to modernize our field offices.  
These changes create the opportunity for the FCC to be more efficient with its resources while 
actually improving 21
st
Century field activities.  This updated plan represents the best of both 
worlds: rigorous management analysis combined with extensive stakeholder and Congressional 
input.  Chairman Walden and other lawmakers have contributed to this effort through their 
thoughtful engagement.  Input from industry and public safety stakeholders has further informed 
the modifications, and I appreciate the important role played by the National Association of 
Broadcasters in getting to a constructive result.  I urge my colleagues to approve this revised plan 
with dispatch so that we may get on with improving the agency’s productivity.”
