I think font size deters people from reading these documents.
In making FCC documents more reader-friendly increase the font size. Eliminate some of the why's and the supportive material. The column format makes it messy and more difficult to read. No other printed material uses column except the newspaper. Most of us are reading web pages, business letters are in top to bottom "regular" format.

show relevent topics information by Block diagrams & Graphically (most important)
Hi FCC,
The text color,font and explanation about every topics is excellent so far.....it is understandable for those users which are more interested to read theoretical explanation.
But when a new user visit your site which is not interested in theoretical explanation then he will be bored and can't read anymore......
I think you should explain your information about topics by block diagrams with existing text.
you should also use Graphically pics or something like that....
If you use these two things with existing text in your website then i hope it is more readable,interesting and understandable.
thanks..........1 vote -
i have been on DSS in Yonkers, Mount Vernon,White Plains and did not get any services
I went to court and received an affirmination date Westchester Supreme Court House 111 Martine Luther dr White Plains New york 10601 docket 14156/03 @ 25953/08 the businesses was served and no respose yet. My discussion would be if I was not in fires and found about the business I would not have gotten affordable housing. I feel that the agency as caseworkers is responsible for with holding information from client. It was like an award to me.

According to the GMRS rules 462 MHz - 467 MHz
According to the wording on the website regarding GMRS: "The General Mobile Radio Service (GMRS) is in the 462 - 467 MHz spectrum range". So then can I transmit on frequency 464.550MHz because it is in the described "range"?

Clarify Jargon
You could allow people to see the definition of a jargon word or confusing phrase (such as "forebearance" or "incumbent lecs' " or "non-TDM-based") by hovering over it with their cursor. Additionally, you could do the same with a document title to summarize it and/or state the purpose (so we could decide if it's relative to our research before pouring over it). This would help especially with "public notice" -type documents. Thanks!

DON'T DELETE IN-PROGRESS APPLICATIONS!!!
We have been working with a municipality and a contractor to prepare an FCC license application. We have had delays because of bidding schedules and were waiting for specific antenna and transmitter information from the contractor so that we could complete our application. The web site warns that FCC will delete the unfinished work after 30 days (ridiculous) and so we tried to make sure we entered the site every couple of weeks to extend our 30-day period. Well, we apparently missed a day, and the FCC deleted our work. We will have to start over again with the entry…

Stop using colored text.
Websites fail when visitors cannot read it and easily navigate it. .
I am a senior who is losing my vision - which is different than "color-blind". Crayon colors, neon colors, faded colors, and colored backgrounds make it nearly impossible for many of us to SEE and READ the text.
Black on white is the defacto color combination for readers; please use it. And please don't forget to use a gutter (border) on the sides of each side, too.
Aside: When I created websites I asked handicapped visitors to rate: readability, usability and colors. What I learned is browsers do…
