Make it usable by the people not lawyers and technicians.
It does not appear that your average American could make heads or tails of this website.
As a taxpayer I want to know what this agency is doing.3 votes -
Fire the logo designer
Fire the logo designer and make it obvious that this is the FCC site, not some obscure symbol. This is a Technical site as well as a marketing tool for the FCC

Well you could make it so that the FRN Login actually worked.

Search autocomplete is completely useless / broken
The search suggestions/autocomplete is totally broken (using Firefox 4). I type in "file a complaint" and the results are a garbled mess of text which reads something to the effect of "file a complaintfile a complaintsfile a complaintshtmfile a complaint1file a complaints1" (unfortunately I can't post a screenshot).
Dev team should probably do a little bit of actual browser testing before launching a >$1M website... not entirely competent, honestly.

Improving user interactions with top news displayer
On the front page, there is a top news/story displayer that constantly switches between the various stories.
Currently, there are two problems with this:
First, the title of the story is not link when it should be. I think you will find that most users will think that the title is a link, as is often the case, when it is not.
Second, the clickable space for switching between the different stories is too small. I can't find the research paper on this right now, but increasing the interaction space is nearly almost always helpful. It may also be useful…3 votesThanks for the suggestions. We are working on adding ability to filter through newsroom entries directly on the home page as a solution to this problem.

Mobile Safari floating search + title disappear
In Mobile Safari, the floating search and title div don't use the fixed position of the viewport, but slide under the top edge. Then, scrolling back to the top of the page shows the wrong graphic position.

Changing the font size to large creates a very odd looking broken fcc logo in current Firefox 4.

Fix the front page slideshow to fit neatly on the grid on the sides.
It really makes me think it didn't render right in my browser and makes it look broken. Eliminate the translucent black border around the front page slideshow.

Exploring spectrum back button broken
When I visit the Spectrum Dashboard on Google Chrome and then select Browse Spectrum Bands my websites back button stops working properly.
In particular, if, from that page, I select "Radio" and then press "Search", and the try to use my back button, it immediately redirects me to the search results page.

Get the "search" feature working.
I'm looking for a two year old Commission report, but the old link to the document doesn't work and the new site's "search" function yields zero helpful results. As of a couple of days ago, I was able to find it by choosing to use the previous fcc.gov and searching from there. However, now even that seems to be turned off.

Consider the [Crowd] Source
I see where this beta site is trying to go, but I think it goes too far. I applaud the attempt, but graphics should be used judiciously to prevent "information overload" by breaking up text with aesthetically pleasing art. In this case, the graphics dominate the front page, leaving very little visual space to convey meaningful content. Because this is a government website upon which people rely to obtain information, we can strike a better balance. The graphics can be smaller and achieve the same effects. The "feature" videos can be placed in a "meet the FCC" space, as Function…

Make feedback possible directly to the FCC site instead of via Adobe pdf format.
Allow for direct feedback to the FCC site instead of via Adobe pdf format. If one is using a local public library computer (as I am right now), I cannot send the feedback via my email since the FCC complaint form only uses an Adobe form by which one must sign up and pay in order to use. This raises the question of privacy, etc. THIS format here which I am currently typing out is what should be available to the consumer.

The changing logo on scroll is slightly distracting.
The animation and change tends to catch the eye on scroll, maybe it'd be better to always display the smaller logo?
