Commission proposes budget for Fiscal Year 2014

The U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has submitted to Congress a request for an appropriation of just over $359 million for the 2014 fiscal year, which begins October 1, 2013.

The Commission’s appropriation request is detailed in its Fiscal Year 2014 Budget Estimates, a 132 page document submitted to Congress in April 2013. The Commission’s Budget Estimates document includes a wealth of additional information about the Commission, its operations and its strategic goals for the coming fiscal year.

The Commission’s proposed 2014 appropriation represents a 3.6% increase over the nearly $347 million requested for fiscal year 2013. However, the Commission projects that its requested appropriation will be offset by the nearly $455 million it expects to collect in regulatory fees and auction proceeds. As a frame of reference, the Commission projected collections of nearly $300 million in fiscal year 2006, and about $185 million in fiscal year 2000.

Solving Maxwell’s Equations for real-life situations, like predicting the RF emissions from a cell tower, requires more mathematical horsepower than any individual mind can muster. These equations don’t give the scientist or engineer just insight, they are literally the answer to everything RF.

The Commission also projects that it will employ the equivalent of 1821 full-time staffers during the 2014 fiscal year, up from 1776 in fiscal year 2013.
