What is the responsibility of the Operations Center?
The Operations Center provides 24-hour-a-day situational awareness and expert strategic assessments on trends for all crisis scenarios that may have public safety, national security or emergency preparedness implications. The Operations Center serves as the primary communications center for the FCC and its licensees during all times of heightened alert, national security or disaster activities. It is also responsible for issuing Special Temporary Authority (STA) in emergencies. The Operations Center can be reached via email at FCCOPCenter@fcc.gov or via telephone at (202) 418-1122.
