Each license of a commercial AM, FM, TV, and international broadcast station must file FCC Form 323 with 30 days of the consummation, pursuant to FCC consent, of a transfer of control or an assignment of license, when it files its station's renewal application, and every two years thereafter. Data on the FCC Form 323 helps to determine whether the licensee/permittee meets the FCC's multiple ownership requirements and complies with the Communications Act. The race/ethnicity/gender question on the form indicates current minority and female ownership of broadcast facilities and the efficacy of FCC Rules to promote opportunities for small businesses and minority and female-owned businesses in the broadcasting industry.
