Answer 1

Correct answers:
- regulating the country’s communications infrastructure
- assigning frequencies to television, radio, cable, and satellite providers
- investigating complaints, inspecting workplaces, and imposing penalties

Explanation (brief): The FCC oversees and regulates interstate and international communications by radio, television, wire, satellite and cable, including spectrum assignment and licensing, handling complaints and enforcement actions (fines, forfeitures, inspections). It does not set safety standards for pesticides/chemicals (that’s EPA/others) nor typically bring civil suits for security-law violations (enforcement is administrative and may be referred to DOJ).
