For Immediate Release
CHAIRMAN PAI ANNOUNCES NEW DASHBOARD AND 
TRANSPARENCY UPGRADES TO FCC.GOV
  -- 
WASHINGTON, December 11, 2017—Federal Communications Commission Chairman Ajit 
Pai today announced the launch of an online dashboard to provide the public with more 
information on the agency’s work.  Available immediately on the agency’s website, fcc.gov, 
this resource will help consumers access reports and graphics on FCC workloads, pending 
actions, and other accountability matrices, and more easily access Freedom of Information Act 
(FOIA) materials.  
“Since becoming Chairman, I’ve made it a priority to find ways to improve transparency at the 
FCC,” said Chairman Pai.  “We serve the American people.  To do that, it’s important to 
remain accountable to them and give them accurate, regularly-updated information about our 
work.  I’m proud of the efforts my FCC colleagues make every day, and today’s upgrades will 
help consumers everywhere know more about those efforts.  Today’s announcement brings to 
fruition a proposal I first introduced in 2013.  I’m glad we’re finally able to activate this good-
government tool.”
The Commission’s new dashboard will help keep the public informed about the FCC’s 
workload in areas like pending applications, petitions, complaints, and license renewals.  
Chairman Pai asked staff to develop the dashboard to make information readily available to the 
public.  It is available at: 
https://www.fcc.gov/reports-research/workload-and-operations-dashboard. 
The FCC uses shared federal processing and information resources to meet its FOIA 
obligations.  With upgrades to the Commission’s FOIA webpage, the agency is making it 
easier for consumers to access and navigate search tools for reviewing FCC FOIA responses 
and filing their own requests for information.  This information is available at:
