PUBLIC NOTICE Federal Communications Commission 445 12th St., S.W. News Media Information 202 / 418-0500 : https://www.fcc.gov Washington, D.C. 20554 TTY: 1-888-835-5322

DA 16-885 Released: August 3, 2016

MEDIA BUREAU REMINDS MVPDs THAT THEY MUST FILE EEO PROGRAM ANNUAL REPORTS (FCC FORM 396-C) BY SEPTEMBER 30, 2016 AND IDENTIFIES THOSE THAT MUST RESPOND TO SUPPLEMENTARY INVESTIGATION QUESTIONS

Pursuant to Section 76.77 of the Commission’s Rules, 47 C.F.R. § 76.77, by September 30 of each year multi-channel video program distributors (“MVPDs”) must file with the Commission an FCC Form 396-C, Multi-Channel Video Programming Distributor EEO Program Annual Report, for employment units with six or more full-time employees. By this notice we remind all MVPDs of this recurring obligation, provide details on the filing process, and identify those MVPDs that must complete the Supplementary Investigation Sheet portion of the form. Users can access the electronic filing system via the Internet from the Commission’s website, at: https://licensing.fcc.gov/cgi-bin/ws.exe/prod/cdbs/forms/prod/cdbsmenu.hts

Paper versions of the form will not be accepted unless accompanied by an appropriate request for waiver of the electronic filing requirement. The Commission has recognized the need for limited waivers of that requirement in light of the “burden that electronic filing could place upon some [entities] who are seeking to serve the public interest, with limited resources, and succeed in a highly competitive local environment.” Streamlining of Applications, Rules and Processes, Report and Order, 13 FCC Rcd 23056, 23061 (1998). However, such waivers will not be routinely granted. The requesting party must plead with particularity the facts and circumstances warranting the relief sought.

As with other electronic forms, filers may fill out part or all of the form and press “save” to retain what they have filled out, so that the filer may later return to the form and complete it by the due date. Note that pressing “save” does not file the form with the Commission. When a filer is ready to file a form, it must press the “validate” button. Forms can be filed only if their status is “valid.” Pressing “save” at this point cancels the valid status. In order to actually file a form, the form must be in “valid” status and the filer must press the “file form” button and complete the filing process. The form may be printed at any stage while it is being completed.

Instructions for use of the electronic filing system are available in the CDBS User’s Guide, which can be accessed from the electronic filing web site at https://licensing.fcc.gov/prod/cdbs/forms/prod/cdbs_ug.htm. Special attention should be given to the details of the applicant account registration and form filing. Failure to follow the procedures in the User’s Guide may result in a form being dismissed, returned, or not considered as officially filed. EMP UNIT MSO/OPR NAME COUNTY STATE

For technical assistance using the system or to report problems, please contact the CDBS Help Desk at (202) 418-2MMB. To request additional information concerning the Form 396-C, please call the EEO staff at (202) 418-1450.

As in prior years, certain MVPDs also will be required to complete portions of the Supplemental Investigation Sheet (“SIS”) located at the end of the Form. Attached to this Public Notice is a list of those MVPD units that must submit the SIS with their 2016 filings. If a unit is not on this list, it does not need to complete the SIS this year. When units on the list attempt to file Form 396-C electronically, those filers will see a check in the box on Section I of the electronic version of the form next to the statement “Supplemental Investigation Sheet attached.”

For filers required to complete and submit the SIS this year, one job description must be provided, but only for the Technicians (Part I, Item 3), category, and only questions 3, 5, and 8 of Part II of the SIS must be answered. PLEASE NOTE: SIS Part III requires the submission of the filer’s EEO public file report. All SIS filers should submit the report created in 2016 covering the previous 12 months.
