The FCC Media Bureau has issued a public notice mandating that multichannel video programming distributors (MVPD) file their FCC 396-C EEO program annual report electronically.
Filing electronically began Sept. 23 and will conclude at midnight on Oct. 15. To file electronically, visit www.fcc.gov/mb.
Paper versions of the form will not be accepted after Sept. 23 unless they are accompanied by a request to waive the electronic filing requirement.
Some filers chosen at random will be required to complete a “supplemental investigation sheet” (SIS) after completing the FCC 396-C form. Filers should take note of a checked box on page one of FCC 396-C form next to the words “Supplemental Investigation Sheet attached.” If present, a completed SIS is required. Those required to fill out the SIS attachment must provide job descriptions for the technician category and that questions one, three and five be answered.
