Revision of Broadcast EEO Policies

In Streamlining Broadcast EEO Rules and Policies, DA 96-1594, released September 20, 1996, the Commission accepts late-filed comments and, on its own motion, extends the date for filing reply comments concerning the Commission's Order and Notice of Proposed Rule Making, MM Docket No. 96-16. A group of organizations (Petitioners) requests the acceptance of their late-filed comments, citing various reasons for the delay, including loss of staff and the failure of three hard drives. Because of these circumstances and in the interest of compiling a full record in this rule making, the Commission will accept these comments. In addition, due to the lateness of Petitioners' comments and their voluminous nature, the Commission believes that the public interest favors an extension of time for filing reply comments.
