I. Introduction
1. This Declaratory Ruling issued
pursuant to § 1.2 of the Commission’s
rules 1 is intended to remove apparent
uncertainty about the Commission’s
policies and procedures for evaluating
potential foreign investment in
broadcast licensees under section
310(b)(4) of the Communications Act of
1934, as amended (the Act).2 That
section restricts foreign ownership or
voting interests exceeding 25 percent of
the capital stock in U.S.-organized
entities that control broadcast (and
certain other types of) Commission
licensees, when the Commission finds
that the imposition of such a limitation
is in the public interest. As noted below,
broadcasters, public interest groups, and
others have expressed the view that it
would be in the public interest to
increase access to capital and
investment financing for the broadcast
sector. These parties assert that, as they
read Commission precedent, the
application of section 310(b)(4) to
broadcast licensees has restricted the
flow of foreign capital to domestic
broadcast licensees or to entities
interested in entering the broadcast
