    Needs and Uses: FCC Report 395, Common Carrier Annual Employment

to file the Annual Employment Report. Each common carrier is also 
obligated to file with this Commission copies of all exhibits, letters, 
and documents pertaining to all equal employment opportunity statements 
and annual reports on complaints regarding violations of equal 
employment provisions of Federal, State, Territorial, or local law. 
Section 22.321(f), 47 CFR, requires each licensee to maintain these 
documents for a period of two years. The Annual Employment Report 
identifies each filer's staff by gender, race, color, and/or national 
origin in each of ten major job categories. The report and all other 
EEOC documents are filed with the Commission to detail the applicant's 
compliance with the Commission's EEO rules. Those documents are 
available for public inspection at a designated area located in the 
FCC's Industry Analysis and Technology Division.
