FCC RIN: 3060-AH71 Publication ID: Fall 2008 
Title: Enhanced and Standardized Disclosure (MM Docket No. 00-168) 
Abstract: This proceeding concerns rules and policies on how commercial television broadcast station licensees provide public interest information to the public. The NPRM proposes amendments to the public inspection file rules that would standardize the format used for providing public interest information to the public and make information contained in public inspection files available on the Internet. The intended effect of this action is to propose rules that would make information regarding how television broadcast stations meet their fundamental public interest obligation to serve the needs and interests of their communities of license easier to understand or more accessible to the public. In the Report and Order, the standardized form is adopted and a requirement is imposed obligating stations to place a portion of its public inspection file on the Internet.
