and Order in MM Docket 00–168, In the 

Matter of Standardized and Enhanced 

Disclosure Requirements for Television 

Broadcast Licensee Public Interest 

Obligations. The Report and Order 

adopts a Standardized Television 

Disclosure Form, FCC Form 355, and 

also requires require television licensees 

and applicants to post a portion of the 

contents of its public inspection file on 

its Web site, as proposed in the Notice 

of Proposed Rulemaking in MB Docket 

00–168 in October 2000. Television 

broadcast stations and Class A 

television broadcast stations are both 

required to file FCC Form 355. The 

Standardized Television Disclosure 

Form, FCC Form 355, provides: (a) A 

consistent format for reporting by all 

licensees, and (b) documents the 

licensees efforts to determine the issues 

facing its community and the public 

interest programming aired during the 

preceding three month period in 

response to such issues. 

47 CFR 73.3526 and 73.3527 require 

that licensees and permittees of 

commercial and noncommercial AM, 

FM and TV stations maintain a file for 

public inspection at its main studio or 

at another accessible location in its 

community of license. The contents of 

the file vary according to type of service 

and status. The contents include, but are 

not limited to, copies of certain 

applications tendered for filing, a 

statement concerning petitions to deny 

filed against such applications, copies of 

ownership reports, statements certifying 

compliance with filing announcements 

in connection with renewal 

applications, a list of donors supporting 

specific programs, and a list of 

community issues addressed by the 

station’s programming. These rules also 

specify the length of time, which varies 

by document type, that each record 

must be retained in the public file. The 

public and FCC use the data to evaluate 

information about the licensee’s 

performance and to ensure that station 

is addressing issues concerning the 

community to which it is licensed to 

serve. 

47 CFR 73.1943 and 76.1701 require 

licensees of broadcast stations and cable 

television systems, respectively, to keep 

and permit public inspection of a 

complete record (political file) of all 

requests for broadcast time made by or 

on behalf of candidates for public office, 

together with an appropriate notation 

showing the disposition made by the 

licensee of such requests. The data is 

used by the public to assess money 

expended and time allotted to a political 

candidate and to ensure that equal 

access was afforded to other legally 

qualified candidates. Section 76.1701 

also requires that, when an entity 

sponsors origination cablecasting 

material that concerns a political matter 

or a discussion of a controversial issue 

of public importance, a list must be 

maintained in the public file of the 

system that includes the sponsoring 

entity’s chief executive officers, or 

members of its executive committee or 

of its board of directors.
