  • March 11, 2020 the Honorable Carolyn B. Maloney Chairwoman
    FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION WASHINGTON OFFICE OF THE CHAIRMAN March 11, 2020 The Honorable Carolyn B. Maloney Chairwoman Committee on Oversight and Government Reform U.S. House of Representatives 2157 Raybum House Office Building Washington, DC 20515 Dear Chairwoman Maloney: In response to a May 2017 incident in which a surge in comments caused disruption to the Commission’s Electronic Comment Filing System (ECF$), GAO was asked to review both (1) the actions that the Commission took in response to the May 2017 event, and (2) the extent to which the FCC has implemented security controls to effectively protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of ECFS and two related FCC systems. As a result of that investigation, on September 26, 2019, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) issued a limited official-use only (LOUO) report entitled FCC Improved Its Electronic Comment System, but Needs to Remedy Additional Control Weaknesses, GAO 19-247 SU (Report).” During the course of its review, GAO shared with the Commission a draft of its Report, which identified a number of issues with the Commission’s information security program and made 136 recommendations for correcting those issues. In a September 13, 2019, response to this draft report, the FCC Managing Director concurred with GAO’s recommendations, noted that the Commission submitted evidence to GAO that we had mitigated 83 of those recommendations, and explained the Commission’s timeline for addressing the remaining 53 recommendations. Based on the FCC’s response and subsequent actions taken in response to the draft report, the GAO has closed 85 of its 136 recommendations as having been addressed by the agency.
