STATEMENT OF FCC COMMISSIONER AJIT PAI ON THE FCC 
CONSOLIDATED REPORTING ACT OF 2012
I commend the U.S. House of Representatives for passing the Federal 
Communications Commission Consolidated Reporting Act of 2012.  This legislation 
would modernize the Commission’s reporting obligations to reflect the convergence that 
has taken place in the communications marketplace and at the same time ensure that 
policymakers receive information critical to making data-driven decisions.  The 
Commission must meet its legal mandate to produce reports for Congress in a timely 
manner, and this bill would assist us in that task.
