Summary:

In response to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the Federal Communication Commission's (FCC) processing of applications for new common carrier, broadcast, and private radio licenses to identify changes to make these operations more efficient and productive.

As a result of continued technological improvements and an increasing demand for communications services, the FCC application processing work load has increased and is likely to continue to increase. Congress has noted that, while FCC has tried to improve license processing speeds, it still takes too long to get a license.
