Privacy Act System of Records

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC or Commission) is amending an existing system of records, FCC/MB-1, Ownership Reports for Commercial and Noncommercial Broadcast Stations (previously FCC/MB-1, Ownership Report for Commercial Broadcast Stations), subject to the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended. This action is necessary to meet the requirements of the Privacy Act to publish in the Federal Register notice of the existence and character of records maintained by the agency. The FCC's Media Bureau (MB) will use the information contained in this altered system of records to administer the Commission's regulatory responsibilities that relate to ownership of commercial broadcast stations, including AM and FM radio and television (full power, Class A, and low power); ownership of noncommercial broadcast stations, including AM and FM radio and full-power television; and ownership of interests in daily newspapers that are subject to the Commission's media ownership rules.
