The FY2027 President's Budget requests $10.9M for Office of Inspector General, within FCC's Office of Inspector General account. That is down 19% on the FY2026 figure of $13.5M, which is the enacted appropriation.
FY2026–FY2027
| Fiscal year | Basis | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| FY2026 | enacted | $13.5M |
| FY2027 | request | $10.9M |
Bases are separate columns and are never summed into one figure.
FCC discretionary budget authority
From the OMB Public Budget Database — clean, summable, and the figure to cite for an agency total. It is the whole of FCC's discretionary request, not a total of the parsed lines above, and this page never adds the two together.
What this funds
Conducts independent audits and investigations of FCC programs to prevent fraud, waste, and abuse.
Extracted from Salaries and Expenses, p. 14. Verbatim; nothing here is paraphrased.
