The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) was created in 1934 with the passage of the Communications Act. This act was signed into law by President Franklin D. Roosevelt and established the FCC as an independent government agency responsible for regulating interstate and international communications by radio television wire satellite and cable. Its jurisdiction covers the 50 U.S. states the District of Columbia and U.S. possessions.

The FCC is led by five Commissioners who are appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate. The Commissioners serve five-year terms and no more than three Commissioners may be of the same political party. The Commissioners are charged with making regulations and implementing laws related to communications.
