foreign investments in these two
categories of Commission licensees.
Therefore, we believe it is appropriate
that our review of proposed broadcast
investments remain on a case-by-case
basis and be allowed to mature before
we consider comprehensive rules and
procedures similar to those applicable
to foreign investment in common carrier
licensees.32
16. Some commenters have asserted
that the underlying national security
rationale for section 310(b)(4) in the
broadcast area, protection from foreign
propaganda on radio and television
stations, no longer exists. Although
many new potential threats and national
security issues have arisen as
technology has advanced,33 we do not
believe that the historical statutory
concern for foreign influence over
broadcast stations has disappeared.
Broadcast stations are licensed to serve
the needs and interests of local U.S.
communities. They uniquely offer a
range of critical information services to
the American public, including, for
instance, the provision of local, state,
national, and international news,
national Emergency Alerts, local severe
weather alerts, Amber Alerts for missing
children, and homeland security
information. Ensuring that the
ownership of broadcast licensees serves
the public interest is embodied in a
statutory directive with which we must
faithfully comply and we will evaluate
applications proposing foreign
broadcast ownership accordingly. In
particular, we will address each specific
situation in terms of its potential public
interest benefits and any relevant public
interest concerns, including national
security concerns, consistent with the
statute and this Declaratory Ruling.

IV. Ordering Clause
17. Accordingly, it is ordered that,
pursuant to the authority contained in
sections 4(i) and 310(b) of the
Communications Act of 1934, as
amended, 47 U.S.C. 154(i), 310(b), 5
U.S.C. 554(e) and § 1.2 of the
Commission’s rules, 47 CFR 1.2, this
Declaratory Ruling in MB Docket No.
13–50 is adopted.
32 Some commenters raise additional suggestions
for Commission review of foreign investment in
broadcast licensees. Although many of these
recommendations proffer thoughtful contributions
to the proceeding record, it is premature to adopt
them at this time. Our consideration of the
numerous overarching issues involved in this area
is ongoing. As we continue to address applications
on a case-by-case basis, we will ascertain whether
it is appropriate to conduct a rulemaking
proceeding.
