We’ve changed! You might have used the Commission’s Consumer Information Registry in the past to keep up to date with FCC news and announcements. We have since developed many new and better ways for you to keep connected and stay informed about the Commission’s activities. For that reason, we have discontinued the Consumer Information Registry, and encourage you to explore these new tools that will help to keep you informed:
FCC RSS and E-mail Directory (www.fcc.gov/rss [1])
Receive daily e-mail updates from the FCC or subscribe to any of the Commission’s RSS feeds. News is available by topic from any Commission bureau or office, or you can choose to receive updates on any FCC actions, speeches, releases, or upcoming events.
MyFCC (my.fcc.gov/ [2])
Set up your personal customized online view of the FCC and get the news right from the source with MyFCC. Create your “personal dashboard” and select the topics you’d like to monitor.
