FCC Chairman Brendan Carr is touting what he calls a “historic” year of accomplishments at the Commission, highlighting sweeping deregulation, broadcast rule changes and internal reforms carried out in 2025 — while signaling more to come in the year ahead.
“2025 was a historic year for the FCC and I am proud of all the wins we were able to achieve for the American people,” Carr said in a statement. He credited the agency’s staff for delivering “great and efficient results” and added, “This is just the beginning. The FCC is firing on all cylinders, and we will build on this momentum to deliver even more wins in 2026.”
A centerpiece of the Chairman’s agenda was the launch of what the FCC describes as the largest deregulatory effort in its history. Under the banner “Delete, Delete, Delete,” the Commission undertook a comprehensive review of every rule, regulation and guidance document to identify unnecessary regulatory burdens. As a result, the FCC eliminated or proposed eliminating 1,108 rules and regulations in 2025, cutting nearly 135,000 words and more than 300 pages from the Code of Federal Regulations.
