In this document, the Commission seeks further comment on its requirement that licensees and other entities filing the FCC Form 323, Ownership Report for Commercial Broadcast Station, provide an FCC Registration Number (FRN) generated by the Commission's Registration System (CORES) (CORES FRN) for attributable individuals reported on the Form 323. The Sixth Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (Sixth FNPRM) also seeks comment on the Commission's proposal to eliminate the "Special Use" FRN for individuals reported on the Form 323 and on a proposal to amend the Form 323-E, Ownership Report for Noncommercial Educational Broadcast Station to require filers to report the CORES FRN for individuals with attributable interests in licensees reported on the Form 323-E. The Commission also invites comment on whether it should extend the CORES FRN requirements, as they apply to entities and individuals, to any non-attributable interest holders that the Commission might ultimately conclude should be reported on the Form 323, as proposed by the Fifth Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (Fifth FNPRM).
