We’ll see how this fares in the face of Chevron being rescinded. Will they even recognize FCC authority to do this?

The FCC can do anything within the law as a condition of using radio wavelengths.

Not any more, since the Supreme Court just overturned Chevron. Now the FCC (and every other federal organization) can only do what’s explicitly described in law.

Administrative law is complicated by them having to follow their own procedures and the courts deciding to completely ignore changes to those procedures or make new ones up out of whole cloth.
The autonomy is a strength in some ways compared to parliamentary democracy and ministers, but the courts have really fucked around with it.
