Which organization is responsible for regulating radio operations in the United States?

• A. Federal Communications Commission
• B. Federal Aviation Administration
• C. Federal Trade Commission
• D. Internal Revenue Service

Answer: (A)

Regulation of radio operations in the United States is handled by the Federal Communications Commission. It licenses radio stations, assigns frequencies, sets technical standards (such as power and emission rules), and enforces rules to prevent interference and protect the public interest. The Federal Aviation Administration oversees aviation safety and airspace, not general radio spectrum management. The Federal Trade Commission focuses on consumer protection and competition, not radio regulation. The Internal Revenue Service handles tax collection.
