FCC SEEKS PUBLIC COMMENT ON WEBSITE EFFECTIVENESS

The Commission is evaluating its Internet web site in an effort to make it
easier and faster for its users to retrieve information.  Although the FCC's
website was recently cited as one of the best in the government, the
Commission is always interested in upgrading and improving it.

A key part of the assessment process is to ascertain what the public expects
from the agency's website and whether the site is meeting those
expectations.  Toward this end, the FCC invites interested parties who use
the website to submit comments, including their views about improvements
that would make retrieval of information faster and easier. Among those from
whom the FCC would like to hear are members of industry, consumer and public
interest groups, state and local regulatory groups,  and professional
associations.

  This evaluation does not address any of the FCC's electronic filing
systems but rather is limited to the FCC website, www.fcc.gov, and
associated webpages.

Comments should address, among other things, usability, navigability,
format, content, interactivity and ease of contacting the Commission.

Please submit all comments by November 10 to [log in to unmask]

For more information, contact Dave Kitzmiller at (202) 418-0507.
