ROUTINE USES OF RECORDS MAINTAINED IN THE SYSTEM, INCLUDING CATEGORIES 
OF USERS AND THE PURPOSES OF SUCH USES:
    In addition to those disclosures generally permitted under 5 U.S.C. 
552a(b) of the Privacy Act, all or a portion of the records or 
information contained in this system may be disclosed to authorized 
entities, as is determined to be relevant and necessary, outside the 
FCC as a routine use pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(b)(3) as follows. In 
each of these cases, the FCC will determine whether disclosure of the 
records is compatible with the purpose(s) for which the records were 
collected.
    1. Public Access--Under the rules of the Commission, documents 
filed in MB's Consolidated Database System (CDBS) are publicly 
available. Form 2100, Schedule 323, and Form 2100, Schedule 323-E--the 
revised versions of Forms 323 and 323-E, respectively--will be 
implemented in MB's Licensing and Management System (LMS).

FCC in his or her individual capacity where DOJ or the FCC has agreed 
to represent the employee; or (d) the United States is a party to 
litigation or has an interest in such litigation, and the use of such 
records by the DOJ or the FCC is deemed by the FCC to be relevant and 
necessary to the litigation;
    3. Financial Obligations under the Debt Collection Acts--To other 
Federal agencies for the purpose of collecting and reporting on 
delinquent debts as authorized by the Debt Collection Act of 1982 or 
the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996. A record from this system 
may be disclosed to any Federal, state, or local agency to conduct an 
authorized computer matching program in compliance with the Privacy Act 
of 1974, as amended, to identify and locate individuals who are 
delinquent in their repayment of certain debts owed to the U.S. 
Government. A record from this system may be used to prepare 
information on items considered income for taxation purposes to be 
disclosed to Federal, state, and local governments;
    4. Law Enforcement and Investigation--To disclose pertinent 
information to the appropriate Federal, State, or local agency

criminal law or regulation;

been compromised; (b) the Commission has determined that as a result of 
the suspected or confirmed compromise there is a risk of harm to 
economic or property interests, identity theft or fraud, or harm to the 
security or integrity of this system or other systems or programs 
(whether maintained by the Commission or another agency or entity) that 
rely upon the compromised information; and (c) the disclosure made to 
such agencies, entities, and persons is reasonably necessary to assist 
in connection with the Commission's efforts to respond to the suspected 
or confirmed compromise and prevent, minimize, or remedy such harm; and
    8. Non-Federal Personnel--To disclose information to contractors 
performing or working on a contract for the Federal Government.

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORING, RETRIEVING, ACCESSING, RETAINING, 
AND DISPOSING OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM:
STORAGE:
    The Broadcast Station Ownership database is the repository for all 
electronically filed ownership reports and associated information, 
including exhibits (e.g., organizational charts, appendices, scanned 
images, and all other supplementary documents and materials, etc.). All 
Form 323 and Form 323-E filings must be submitted electronically (e.g., 
paper copy filings are not acceptable). Form 323 and Form 323-E filings 
are currently submitted via CDBS, at https://www.fcc.gov/media/filing-systems-and-databases. Filings on Form 2100, Schedule 323, and Form 
2100, Schedule 323-E--the revised versions of Forms 323 and 323-E, 
respectively--will be submitted electronically via LMS, at https://enterpriseefiling.fcc.gov/dataentry/login.html.

RETRIEVABILITY:
    Information in this system is publicly retrievable. The information 
may be viewed via the ``Public Access'' Search functionality in CDBS, 
at https://www.fcc.gov/media/filing-systems-and-databases, by clicking 
on the ``Ownership Search'' link. Information may be retrieved by 
searching electronically using a variety of parameters including the 
call sign, facility ID number, service, file number, application type, 
channel, frequency, community of license city and state, name of the 
licensee/permittee, or name/address of the person or entity holding the 
interest reported on Form 323 or Form 323-E. All ownership data can 
also be downloaded via a set of files that correspond to database 
tables from the Media Bureau Public CDBS Database Files Web site: 
https://www.fcc.gov/media/radio/cdbs-database-public-files. Information 
is retrieved internally via database commands by authorized FCC staff 
and contractors who have been granted permission to access the data. 
Form 2100, Schedule 323, and Form 2100, Schedule 323-E--the revised 
versions of Forms 323 and 323-E, respectively--will be implemented in 
LMS. Information filed in LMS may be viewed via the ``LMS Public 
Search'' functionality in LMS, at https://enterpriseefiling.fcc.gov/dataentry/login.html. LMS Public Database Tables may be downloaded from 
the LMS Public Database Files Web site: https://enterpriseefiling.fcc.gov/dataentry/public/tv/lmsDatabase.html.

SAFEGUARDS:
    Information in these records and files is available to the public 
via the FCC Internet portal at: https://www.fcc.gov/media/filing-systems-and-databases. Access to the ownership records housed in the 
CDBS and LMS databases is restricted to authorized MB supervisory and 
staff and IT staff and contractors, who maintain the CDBS and LMS 
network computer databases. Other FCC staff and contractors may be 
granted access to this information, only on a ``need-to-know'' basis.
    The CDBS and LMS databases are part of the FCC's computer network 
databases. The FCC's computer network is protected by a comprehensive 
and dynamic set of IT safety and security protocols and features that 
are designed to meet all Federal IT privacy standards, including those 
required by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) 
and the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA).

RETENTION AND DISPOSAL:

    (2) the information that pertains to historical records, which is 
used for archival purposes. The agency records control schedule N1-173-
86-2, approved by NARA, authorizes permanent retention of original 
documents of information reported

[[Page 72050]]

pursuant to Sections 73.3613 and 73.3615 of the Commission's rules, 
including ownership reports (FCC Form 323). Until NARA approves an
