The FCC can revoke a private operator's license if the holder used it to illegally distribute controlled substances. The FCC can also help federal law enforcement stop illegal drug distribution using licensed communications equipment.

The Federal Communications Commission may take away a private operator's license issued under the Communications Act of 1934. This applies to a licensee found to have willfully used the license to distribute, or help distribute, any controlled substance, in violation of federal law. The FCC can also help enforce federal drug laws. If an appropriate federal law enforcement agency asks, the FCC may help enforce the federal law against distributing controlled substances, when communications equipment under the FCC's jurisdiction is being willfully used to distribute, or help distribute, such a substance.

The Federal Communications Commission may revoke any private operator’s license issued to any person under the Communications Act of 1934 (47 U.S.C. 151 et seq.) who is found to have willfully used said license for the purpose of distributing, or assisting in the distribution of, any controlled substance in violation of any provision of Federal law. In addition, the Federal Communications Commission may, upon the request of an appropriate Federal law enforcement agency, assist in the enforcement of Federal law prohibiting the use or distribution of any controlled substance where communications equipment within the jurisdiction of the Federal Communications Commission under the Communications Act of 1934 is willfully being used for purposes of distributing, or assisting in the distribution of, any such substance.
