 FCC  CONTINUES  EEO  AUDITS 
 On  October  7,  2004,  the  Federal  Communications  Commission  (FCC)  began  mailing  the  last  of  its  Equal  Employment  Opportunity  (EEO)  audit  letters  for  2004  to  randomly  selected  broadcast 
 stations.  In  accordance  with  the  provisions  of  47  C.  F.  R.  §§  73.2080(  f)(  4)  and  76.77(  d)  of  the  Commission’s  EEO  rules,  the  FCC  is  auditing  the  EEO  programs  of  randomly  selected 
 broadcast  licensees  and  multi-  channel  video  program  distributors  (MVPDs).  The  FCC  has  already  completed  its  2004  audit  of  randomly  selected  MVPDs.  Each  year,  approximately  five 
 percent  of  all  licensees  and  MVPDs  are  selected  for  random  EEO  audits. 
 A  list  of  the  stations  to  which  audit  letters  were  sent  can  be  viewed  by  accessing  the  Media  Bureau’s  EEO  page  on  the  FCC  website  at  http://  www.  fcc.  gov/  mb/  policy/  eeo.  Audit  letters  will 
 be  mailed  to  additional  broadcast  licensees  and  MVPDs  during  2005.
