Users can access the electronic filing system via the Internet from the Media Bureau’s Web Site at: http:// www. fcc. gov/ mb Paper versions of the form will not be accepted unless accompanied by an appropriate request for waiver of the electronic filing requirement. The Commission has recognized the need for limited waivers of the electronic filing requirement in light of the “burden that electronic filing could place upon some licensees who are seeking to serve the public interest, with limited resources, and succeed in a highly competitive local environment.” Streamlining Order, 13 FCC Rcd 23061. However, such waivers will not be routinely granted and the applicant must plead with particularity the facts and circumstances warranting relief. Filers who submitted a request for exemption from filing in 2003 because of employment of five or fewer full time employees do not need to file a Form 396- C for 2004, unless the unit has increased employment to more than five full time employees since the last Form 396- C was filed. As in prior years, randomly selected MVPDs will be required to fill out portions of the Supplemental Investigation Sheet (“ SIS”) at the end of the form. At the end of this Public Notice is a list of unit ID numbers for the units required to fill out an SIS for 2004. MVPDs required to file the SIS will see a box checked on page one of the electronic version of the form next to the statement, “Supplemental Investigation Sheet attached.” For these filers, we are requiring this year that job descriptions be provided only for the sales workers category and that only questions two, four, and six be answered in the question list. As with other electronic forms, filers may fill out part or all of the form and press “save” to save what they have filled out. “Saving” does not file the form but it does keep what has been entered in the filer’s form so that the filer may return to the form later and complete it by the due date. In order to actually file a form, filers must press the “File Form” button and complete the filing process. The form may be printed at any stage while it is being filled out. 1 Instructions for use of the electronic filing system are available in the CDBS User’s Guide which can be accessed from the electronic filing web site. Special attention should be given to the details of the applicant account registration function and form filing function. Failure to follow the procedures in the User’s Guide may result in a form being dismissed, returned, or not considered as officially filed.
