        <RULE_TITLE>Enhanced and Standardized Disclosure (MM Docket No. 00-168; MB Docket No. 11-189)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proceeding concerns rules and policies on how commercial television broadcast station licensees provide public interest information to the public.  The 2000 NPRM proposed 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 2008 Report and Order, a standardized form was adopted and a requirement was imposed obligating stations to place a portion of its public inspection file on the Internet.  In 2011, on reconsideration, the Commission vacated the prior Report and Order and sought comment on proposals intended to make broadcaster information more accessible to the public.  Comment was also sought on proposals to streamline the standardized disclosure form.

The Second Report and Order modernized the procedures television broadcasters use to inform the public about how they are serving their communities by establishing a requirement that stations post their public files online in a Commission-hosted database.]]></ABSTRACT>
