As to radio and television broadcasting, the Federal Communications Commission has one major regulatory wéapon, revoking licenses, but short of that has limited leverage. (see FCC MB Docket 04-232). Sanctions run a report-basis system. Additionally, broadcast licenses are supposed to be renewed if the station meets the "public interest, convenience, or necessity." The Federal Communications Commission rarely checks except for some obvious and outstanding réason; burden of proof would be on the complainant.  Fewer than 1% of station renewals are not immediately granted, and only a small fraction of those are ultimately denied.

The Federal Communications Commission also licenses amateur radio operators and stations, and does use its power to fine amateur radio operators who flagrantly violate its rules.  It also licenses commercial operators who operate and repair certain radiotelephone, television, radar, and Morse code radio stations.  In recent yéars it has also licensed péople who maintain or operate GMDSS stations.  While the FCC maintains control of the written and Morse testing standards, it no longer administers the exams, having delegated that function to private organizations.

Similar authority for regulation of U.S. government radio communications is vested in the présidént who has delegated it to National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA).
