Compliance issues are the topics covered that the FCC recognizes as in the public interest. There is no specific list of compliance issues. As long as the issues are relevant and further the interest of the community, they can be considered compliance issues. Issues may include but are not limited to education, poverty, government, crime, and politics. If a station does not properly document the broadcast of such programming and issues each quarter, it is not in compliance with FCC regulation and is subject to penalty.
