   ARLB004 FCC Retiring the transition.fcc.gov Front Page   
      
   The FCC has announced that it is transitioning away from its   
   so-called "transition website" front page, which has been in place   
   for the last 3 years. The Commission said the move, starting   
   February 3, is in line with its plans to gradually wean users from   
   the transition website.   
      
   "All content formerly on the old transition front page - including   
   links to our most popular tools and resources - is available on the   
   FCC.gov home page, and personal bookmarks to items once featured on   
   the old page will continue to work," the FCC has said. "Starting   
   February 3, the transition front page will redirect automatically to   
   the FCC.gov home page at http://www.fcc.gov/ . For those who   
   continue to use transition.fcc.gov, please note that this action   
   affects only one page of the transition site - the front page."   
      
   The FCC introduced its new website design in 2011, running it in   
   parallel with the old design that users had become familiar with   
   over the many years it's been in place. The FCC said its decision   
   now to phase out the transition front page was based on a steady   
   decline in usage, since the initial FCC website redesign.   
      
   Also starting February 3, the FCC will replace the transition link   
   in the top right corner with a link to the FCC Phonebook at,   
   http://www.fcc.gov/finding-people-fcc , making that resource   
   available on virtually every FCC.gov page. The FCC invites feedback   
   on its website at webfeedback@fcc.gov .
