"New" FCC.gov?

[Michael Wilkins]

While looking at the 2013 FCC Notice Of Violation (NOV) and Notice Of Unlicensed Operation (NOUO) activities, I couldn't help but notice the banner at the top of

http://transition.fcc.org/eb/FieldNotices

proclaiming "A New FCC.gov"

I was wondering if anyone has noticed an improvement in how the site is run or information is disseminated?
