• “Under both Democrat and Republican chairmen, the FCC has fallen into practices that weaken decision-making and jeopardize public confidence.”

• “The FCC does not always publish the text of proposed rules for public comment before adopting final rules, instead merely asking a collection of open-ended questions or offering a series of alternative approaches.”

• “Statutory minimums for comment and reply cycles would produce better decisions and shield the FCC from pressure to rush to judgment.”

• “Minimum Review Periods. Commissioners have no assurances they will be afforded sufficient time to review draft items, which are prepared at the FCC chairman’s direction.”
