FCC's 2027 Performance Plan Doubles Down on 'Build America'

Every year, the Federal Communications Commission releases an annual performance plan that outlines the FCC's agenda and the goals it seeks to achieve. On July 6, the FCC released its Agency Performance Plan for Fiscal Year 2027, which provides the public with a general outline of what the agency is prioritizing in the near future—and what it is not. The FCC's strategic plans, released every few years, serve as a broader framework and a yardstick against which the agency's annual performance reports assess whether the FCC did what it said it would do. This most recent Fiscal Year (FY) 2027 performance report, spanning July 1, 2026—June 30, 2027, includes the FCC's most immediate activities and the timelines for completing them.
