gender, and ethnicity of existing,
reportable interest holders; the use of a
unique identifier; and the biennial filing
requirement. In addition, the 323/
CORES Order and Reconsideration
Order makes a number of significant
changes to the Commission’s reporting
requirements that reduce the filing
burdens on broadcasters, streamline the
process, and improve data quality.
These enhancements will enable the
Commission to obtain data reflecting a
more useful, accurate, and thorough
assessment of minority and female
broadcast station ownership in the
United States while reducing certain
filing burdens.
Licensees of noncommercial
educational AM, FM, and television
broadcast stations must file FCC Form
2100, Schedule 323–E (formerly FCC
Form 323–E) every two years. Pursuant
to the new filing procedures adopted in
the 323/CORES Order and
Reconsideration Order, Form 2100,
Schedule 323–E shall be filed by
December 1 in all odd-numbered years.
Biennial Ownership Reports shall
provide information accurate as of
October 1 of the year in which the
Report is filed.
In addition, Licensees and Permittees
of noncommercial educational AM, FM,
and television stations must file Form
2100, Schedule 323–E following the
consummation of a transfer of control or
an assignment of a noncommercial
educational AM, FM, or television
station license or construction permit; a
Permittee of a new noncommercial
educational AM, FM, or television
station must file Form 2100, Schedule
323–E within 30 days after the grant of
the construction permit; and a Permittee
of a new noncommercial educational
AM, FM, or television station must file
Form 2100, Schedule 323–E to update
the initial report or to certify the
continuing accuracy and completeness
of the previously filed report on the date
that the Permittee applies for a license
to cover the construction permit.
In the case of organizational
structures that include holding
companies or other forms of indirect
ownership, a separate Form 2100,
Schedule 323–E must be filed for each
entity in the organizational structure
that has an attributable interest in the
Licensee or Permittee.

Synopsis
1. On December 29, 2014, the
Committee was established for a period
of two years from the original charter
date. The Commission anticipates that
the Committee will hold the final
meeting of its current term on December
6, 2016. Thereafter the Committee’s
charter and all member appointments
will terminate on December 29, 2016.
The Commission anticipates that the
Committee’s charter will be renewed for
another two-year term. The Committee
will operate in accordance with the
provisions of the Federal Advisory
Committee Act, 5 U.S.C. App. 2 (1988).
Each meeting of the Committee will be
open to the public. A notice of each
meeting will be published in the
Federal Register at least fifteen days in
advance of the meeting. Records will be
maintained of each meeting and made
available for public inspection. More
information about the Committee’s
recommendations and subcommittees
may be found at its Web site: https://
www.fcc.gov/general/disabilityadvisory-committee.
2. The Committee, which was created
under the Federal Advisory Committee
Act, provides a vehicle for consumers
and other stakeholders to provide
feedback and recommendations to the
Commission on a wide array of
disability issues within the FCC’s
jurisdiction. In addition to keeping the
Commission apprised of current and
evolving communications accessibility
issues for persons with disabilities,
recommendations from the Committee
have enabled the FCC to build on its
record of ensuring access to
communications and video
programming for people with

Jkt 238001
disabilities. Some of the issues the
Committee has addressed, and will
continue to address, include
telecommunications relay services,
closed captioning, video description,
access to emergency information on
television and telephone emergency
services, device accessibility, IP and
other technology transitions, and the
National Deaf-Blind Equipment
Distribution Program. When renewed,
the Committee will also address new
accessibility issues that arise.
3. The Commission seeks applications
from interested consumer organizations,
industry and trade associations,
corporations, governmental entities, and
individuals that wish to be considered
for membership on the Committee.
Selections will be made on the basis of
factors such as expertise and diversity of
viewpoints that are necessary to
effectively address the questions before
the Committee. The Commission will
determine the appropriate Committee
size necessary to effectively accomplish
the Committee’s work. The Commission
expects that on an annual basis the
Committee will meet in Washington, DC
for a minimum of three one-day
meetings, all of which will be fully
accessible to individuals with
disabilities. In addition, working groups
or subcommittees will be established as
needed to facilitate the Committee’s
work between meetings of the full
Committee. Working group and
subcommittee deliberations will be
conducted primarily through email and
teleconference/videoconference
meetings.
4. Members must be willing to
commit to a two-year term of service,
should be willing and able to attend
three one-day meetings per year in
Washington, DC, and will also be
expected to participate in deliberations
of at least one working group or
subcommittee. The time commitment to
each working group or subcommittee
may be substantial. The Commission
does not provide payment or honoraria
to members, and generally does not
reimburse members for travel expenses,
although it may have very limited funds
to partially reimburse travel expenses of
members who demonstrate need.
5. Some applicants possessing
expertise or perspectives of interest to
the Committee, and who will serve on
the Committee in an individual capacity
(and not as the representative of a
corporation, nonprofit, or other entity),
are deemed to be Special Government
Employees (SGEs). Such individuals are
ineligible to serve if they are federally
registered lobbyists. In addition,
although all individuals serving on the
Committee or its working groups,
PO 00000
Frm 00027

whether representatives or SGEs, can
have personal or financial interests in
their individual capacities that could
create a conflict with the work of the
Disability Advisory Committee if not
properly addressed in consultation with
the Commission’s Office of General
Counsel, SGEs specifically are subject to
a variety of restrictions under the
conflict of interest statutes, 18 U.S.C.
203 et seq., and the Standards of Ethical
Conduct for Employees of the Executive
Branch, 5 CFR 2635. While not subject
to those ethics restrictions to the same
extent as more typical government
employees because there are exceptions
and waiver provisions available only to
SGEs, SGEs do have to file confidential
employee financial disclosure forms
prior to beginning their service and
annually thereafter. SGEs will also be
subject to ethics restrictions in section
4(b) of the Communications Act, 47
U.S.C. 154(b), and in the Commission’s
rules, 47 CFR 19, 5 CFR 3901 and 3902.
