Finally, the FCC shall revise the FCC-323 Question 11 and Item 8 in the instructions to reflect the Revisions to the Standards for the Classification of Federal Data on Race and Ethnicity; Notices, Section entitled Standards for Maintaining, Collecting, and Presenting Federal Data on Race and Ethnicity as promulgated in Federal Register dated October 30, 1997 Vol. 62 No. 210, page 58781. Specifically, the FCC shall use the two-question format and inform respondents that they may chose more than one race.

Abstract: Each licensee is required to file FCC-323 every other year on the anniversary date that its renewal application is required to be filed. Each permittee is required to file FCC-323 within 30 days of the date of grant by the FCC of an application for original construction permit, transfer of control, or assignment of license. The data is used by FCC staff to determine whether the licensee/permittee is abiding by the multiple ownership requirements as set down by the Commission's rules and is in compliance with the Communications Act of 1934, as amended.
