47 U.S.C. § 334 — Limitation on revision of equal employment opportunity regulations
submitted 92 years ago by Pub. L. 102-385 to r/title-47-TELECOMMUNICATIONS · 144 words · no verdicts yet
The FCC generally can't revise its 1992 equal-employment-opportunity rules for TV station owners, or the forms used to report employment data, except as this section allows. It must add a midterm review of station employment practices and tell stations about needed recruiting improvements. The FCC can still make small technical or clerical fixes to keep the rules current.
(a) Limitation — Except as this section specifically allows, the FCC can't revise (1) the equal-employment-opportunity rules that applied to TV station owners and permit-holders as of September 1, 1992 (47 C.F.R. § 73.2080), or (2) the forms those stations use to report employment data to the FCC.
(b) Midterm review — The FCC must still revise those rules to add a midterm check of each TV station's employment practices, and must tell stations about any recruiting improvements that check identifies as needed.
(c) Authority to make technical revisions — The FCC may also make small, non-substantive technical or clerical fixes to those rules, as needed to keep up with changes in technology, terminology, or the FCC's own organization.
Except as specifically provided in this section, the Commission shall not revise—
the regulations concerning equal employment opportunity as in effect on September 1, 1992 (47 C.F.R. 73.2080) as such regulations apply to television broadcast station licensees and permittees; or
the forms used by such licensees and permittees to report pertinent employment data to the Commission.
The Commission shall revise the regulations described in subsection (a) to require a midterm review of television broadcast station licensees’ employment practices and to require the Commission to inform such licensees of necessary improvements in recruitment practices identified as a consequence of such review.
The Commission may revise the regulations described in subsection (a) to make nonsubstantive technical or clerical revisions in such regulations as necessary to reflect changes in technology, terminology, or Commission organization.
