FCC Chairman Carr Touts Cost Savings

FCC Chairman Brendan Carr says his top-to-bottom review of agency contracts is expected to save taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars. Carr states, “On my watch, the FCC is focused on deliveringimg great results for the country and doing so in an efficient manner.  That starts with being good stewards of taxpayer dollars. From day one, we have been combing through every FCC contract to eliminate redundancies and wasteful spending. No stone is being left unturned.  To date, we have reduced more than $567 million in authorized contract spending, including by ending bloated or unnecessary IT contracts.  This is an important step towards ensuring long-term efficiency and maintaining our focus on the FCC’s core responsibilities.”
