The FCC is a part of the executive branch of government, and therefore,
it 
is the President, or his designee(s), that will nominate the chairman.
The 
Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee then has to
confirm 
them.  I imagine many more details may be found in the Communications
Act 
of 1934.

Right from the FCC website:

The FCC is directed by five Commissioners appointed by the President and

confirmed by the Senate for 5-year terms, except when filling an
unexpired 
term. The President designates one of the Commissioners to serve as 
Chairperson. Only three Commissioners may be members of the same
political 
party. None of them can have a financial interest in any
Commission-related 
business.

so... it's President Bush you need to be writing to.
