[MB Docket Nos. 07–294; 06–121; 02–277; 

04–228; MM Docket Nos. 01–235; 01–317; 

00–244; DA 09–1221] 

Promoting Diversification of 

Ownership in the Broadcasting 

Services 

AGENCY: Federal Communications 

Commission. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Media Bureau Order 

suspends the biennial filing requirement 

for the existing Form 323 for licensees 

who would otherwise be required to file 

their biennial ownership report between 

May 29, 2009 and November 1, 2009. 

There are three filing dates between 

May 29, 2009 and November 1, 2009: 

June 1, August 1, and October 1. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Mania Baghdadi, (202) 418–2330; Amy 

Brett (202) 418–2330. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 5, 

2009, the Commission released a Report 

and Order and Fourth Further Notice of 

Proposed Rulemaking in its 

Diversification of Ownership 

proceeding (‘‘Order’’). In pertinent part, 

the Order revised certain requirements 

for filing FCC Form 323, which provides 

ownership information about broadcast 

facilities. The Order enlarged the class 

of broadcast licensees required to file 

FCC Form 323 biennially, and it 

substituted a uniform biennial filing 

deadline for the current system of 

rolling filing deadlines that are tied to 

a station’s renewal anniversary. 

Pursuant to these new requirements, all 

commercial full power AM, FM, and TV 

stations; LPTV and Class A stations; and 

entities with attributable or reportable 

interests in them, are required to file the 

revised FCC Form 323 on or before 

November 1, 2009, with information 

current as of October 1, 2009, and to file 

biennially thereafter. For purposes of 

the biennial filing requirement, the 

Order provided that certain 

nonattributable interests would be 

reportable: (1) Minority voting stock 

interests in a corporation with a single 

majority shareholder, and (2) interests 

in an eligible entity that would 

otherwise be attributable under the 

Equity/Debt Plus attribution rule. 

On its own motion, the Commission’s 

Media Bureau is suspending the filing 

requirement for the existing Form 323 

for licensees that would otherwise be 

required to file from May 29, 2009, the 

date the Media Bureau Order was 

released, through November 1, 2009. 

The Media Bureau believes that it is in 

the public interest to relieve filers from 

the burden of filing the existing Form 

323 within the six months prior to the 

new November 1 filing requirement. On 

balance, the burden of requiring 

licensees and other entities to file twice 

within a six-month period outweighs 

the benefit of receiving the ownership 

information. In addition, a suspension 

of the filing requirement will not impair 

the ability to assess the state of minority 

or female ownership. In the event that 

the OMB approval for the new Form 323 

has not been received by the November 

1, 2009 filing deadline, all filers who 

would have been required to file Form 

323 between May 29, 2009 and 

November 1, 2009, will be required to 

file the existing Form 323 by November 

1, 2009. 

Accordingly, it is ordered, that 

pursuant to authority under sections 4(i) 

and 303(r) of the Communications Act 

of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. 154 and 

303(r) and pursuant to authority 

delegated to the Media Bureau pursuant 

to §§ 0.204 and 0.283 of the 

Commission’s rules, 47 CFR 0.204 and 

0.283, a suspension of the filing 

requirements as described in the Media 

Bureau Order is granted, sua sponte.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Consumer Advisory Council was 

established in 1976 at the direction of 

the Congress to advise the Federal 

Reserve Board on the exercise of its 

duties under the Consumer Credit 

Protection Act and on other consumerrelated matters. The Council by law 

represents the interests both of 

consumers and of the financial services 

industry (15 U.S.C. 1691(b)). Under the 

Rules of Organization and Procedure of 

the Consumer Advisory Council (12 

CFR 267.3), members serve three-year 

terms that are staggered to provide the 

Council with continuity. 

New members will be selected for 

terms beginning January 1, 2010, to 

replace members whose terms expire in 

December 2009. The Board expects to 

announce its appointment of new 

members in early January. 

Nomination letters should include: 

• A re ́sume ́ for each nominee; 

• nominee’s full name, organizational 

affiliation, title, address, phone and fax 

numbers, and email address; 

• nominee organization’s name, brief 

description of organization, address, 

and phone and fax numbers; 

• information about past and present 

positions held by the nominee, dates, 

and description of responsibilities;

organizations and on councils and 

boards; and 

• nominator’s full name, 

organizational affiliation, title, address,

address. 

Individuals may nominate 

themselves. 

The Board is interested in candidates 

who have familiarity with consumer 

financial services, community 

development and reinvestment, and 

consumer protection regulations, and 

who are willing to express their views. 

Candidates do not have to be experts on 

all levels of consumer financial services 

or community reinvestment, but they 

should possess some basic knowledge of 

the issues. They must be able and 

willing to make the necessary time 

commitment to participate in 

conference calls, and prepare for and 

attend meetings three times a year 

(usually for two days, including 

committee meetings). The meetings are 

held at the Board’s offices in 

Washington, DC. The Board pays travel 

expenses, lodging, and a nominal 

honorarium. 

In making the appointments, the 

Board will seek to complement the 

background of continuing Council 

members in terms of affiliation and 

geographic representation and to ensure 

the representation of women and 

minority groups. The Board may 

consider prior years’ nominees and does 

not limit consideration to individuals 

nominated by the public when making 

its selection.
