The Trump administration proposed $416.1 million for the FCC in FY26, including $13.5 million for its Office of Inspector General. That’s more than a 6% increase from what the commission received in FY 2024 (see 2403250015). Congress extended all federal agencies’ FY24 funding levels into FY25 via a March continuing resolution (see 2503170058). The FCC is also requesting $132.7 million for its spectrum auctions program for FY26, the Trump administration said.

ICYMI: @HouseCommerce cleared its spectrum and AI reconciliation proposal early this morning on a party-line 29-24 vote. Ahead of that vote, @SenTedCruz and other senators told me they are exploring changes to the airwaves proposal. More from @Comm_Daily: https://t.co/Wskpnprvn8
NEWS: @SenTedCruz tonight called @HouseCommerce Republicans' spectrum reconciliation proposal "encouraging" but stopped short of endorsing it amid questions about whether he wants to pursue a pipeline larger than House's 600 MHz. For @Comm_Daily: https://t.co/4qkveKoY7e
.@DorisMatsui criticizes @HouseCommerce reconciliation proposal's spectrum language, which would renew lapsed FCC authority thru FY34 & mandates sale of 600 MHz of bandwidth. https://t.co/YNYzQGS5DB
