Abstract: Each licensee/permittee of a noncommercial FM and TV broadcast station is required to file an Ownership Report for Noncommercial Educational Broadcast Station, FCC Form 323-E, within 30 days of the date of grant by the FCC of an application for an original construction permit. In addition, licensee/permittee must file Form 323-E on the application date for a station license or with the license renewal application and every two years thereafter. Each licensee with a current, unmodified FCC Form 323-E on file with the Commission may electronically review its current Report, validate its accuracy, and be relieved of the obligation to file a new Biennial Ownership Report. The FCC Form 323-E must also be filed with 30 days of consummating authorized assignments or transfers of permits and licenses.
