**Commission Policies and Procedures Under the Communications Act,**  **Foreign Investment in Broadcast Licensees** 

**AGENCY :**  Federal Communications Commission.

**ACTION :**  Notice.

**SUMMARY :**  This Declaratory Ruling is intended to remove apparent uncertainty regarding Commission policies and procedures in reviewing broadcast applications for transfer of control, or requests for declaratory ruling, that seek greater than 25 percent indirect foreign ownership in the controlling U.S. parents of broadcast licensees pursuant to the Communications Act of 1934. The ruling clarifies that the Commission intends to evaluate any applications or proposed transactions that would exceed the statutory 25 percent benchmark on a case-by-case basis. The Declaratory Ruling responds to a request from a broad coalition of interested parties, including broadcasters, public interest groups and the financial sector, that the Commission clarify that it intends to exercise its statutory discretion to conduct a substantive, facts and circumstances evaluation of proposals seeking above-the-benchmark foreign investment.

As noted below, broadcasters, public interest groups, and others have expressed the view that it would be in the public interest to increase access to capital and investment financing for the broadcast sector. These parties assert that, as they read Commission precedent, the application of section 310(b)(4) to broadcast licensees has restricted the flow of foreign capital to domestic broadcast licensees or to entities interested in entering the broadcast
