I’m just confirming you’re asking for records from the Federal Communications Commission because Dr. Scott Gottlieb is currently with the FDA. Please inform us of what Bureaus/Offices you would like us to search. A list of Commission Bureaus/Offices and their functions can be found at https://www.fcc.gov/about-fcc/organizational-charts-fcc.
