FCC form 395-B,
Broadcast Station Annual Employment Report, collects information on
full time paid employees. In order to reduce reporting and
recordkeeping burden, it is intentionally the same as the workforce
profile collected by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity
Commision, Employer Report Form (EEO-1). EEOC has proposed
modifications to the EEO-1 form (Federal Register, June 11, 2003,
Volume 68, Number 112, pages 34965- 34969). Any changes to the
EEO-1 Form should be preflected in ch anges to FCC form 395-B.
