You need to be able to submit comments. I tried with the proposed decency standards and your ECFS Express would not submit my comments.
I completed the ECFS Express comment form on the new proposed decency standards for TV & radio, but could not submit my comment because your web site would not accept it. What good is a comment procedure that cannot be submitted? Hopefully, the whole FCC doesn't function this way?

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 -
Add a Fade Fffect to the Social Media Icons
Add a fade effect instead of a direct hover effect to these icons. It would provide a smoother layout and experience.

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

Be more consumer friendly
The site is a bit confusing at times to navigate. Where do I go to file a complaint? Where do I go to check on the status of a complaint? What are the current cases FCC is working on and where do I find status reports that get updated regularly? I really am hoping so much that the new FCC becomes a tool to support the consumer and end the helplessness we experience in being subjected to mega companies like Time Warner and Comcast, so please support us on your website and make it work for us!

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.

A few tweaks
I think you need to rethink making these radical changes that are so disruptive to the user, and focus on modifications that truly improve things, rather than changes that actually make things more onerous. For example, it used to be that when we clicked on a link to an item such as a press release or a commissioner statement, we were taken to the item. Now when we click on links to items, we're treated to a bunch of FCC boilerplate and forced to then hit the "expand" button. Why? May not seem like a big deal, but multiply this…

Clearly places emphasis on Broadband Agenda at expense of traditional media
The website design and contents available to date illustrate the emphasis that the Commission is placing on point to point personal communications which may come at the expense of point to multipoint "old fashioned" broadcast services. Beta website tends to bury key functions and tools that serve the very industries that the Commission regulates while placing fluffy generalizations clearly aimed at pandering to an uninformed public up front. If that were followed by educational information to elevate the public understanding it might be more acceptible. As it stands, the content implies that Broadband expansion offers service while old media simply…

Centralized login area
During this transition, the login area is really fragmented. Let's take the time to fix it, and make FRS very easy to use. Login from the front page, and quick links based on the person's account so far. Perhaps a categorized area with actions a person may take with their account? Really make it easy to use the system.
3 votesWe hope to roll out exactly that in the near future. If you take a look at the my dot preview (http://my.fcc.gov/), once launched, it will provide you with the ability to sign on, see links to common tasks that you select, and even follow specific agency actions such as dockets or proceedings, all from the home page.
A single, site-wide login across all the agency’s systems and portals is a little tricky, both legally and technically, but we’re trying our best to head in that direction.
