DA 22-682
Released: July 1, 2022

ENFORCEMENT BUREAU REMINDS MVPDS OF 2022 FCC FORM 396-C DEADLINE & PROVIDES INFORMATION REGARDING NEW FILING PROCEDURES

Pursuant to section 76.77 of the Commission’s rules, 47 CFR § 76.77, a multichannel video program distributor (MVPD) employment unit with six or more full-time employees must file an FCC Form 396-C, Multichannel Video Programming Distributor EEO Program Annual Report, by September 30 each year.  By this Notice, we remind MVPDs of this recurring obligation due by Friday, September 30, 2022.  Formerly, this annual filing was submitted via the Commission’s Consolidated Database System (CDBS).  As CDBS was decommissioned earlier this year, Public Notice, DA 22-29, Jan. 11, 2022.
 the Form 396-C will now be submitted via a new filing platform at the FCC’s website, the recently updated Cable Operations and Licensing System (COALS). 

The EEO filing portal in the updated COALS is accessed via https://fccprod.servicenowservices.com/coals.  Please note that COALS requires a Commission Registration System (CORES) username and password to which authority for one or more Federal Registration Numbers (FRNs) has been delegated.  The former COALS IDs will no longer be used to access the system.  To manage CORES usernames and passwords, please visit https://apps.fcc.gov/cores/userLogin.do.  For additional information regarding FRNs and the CORES system, please visit https://www.fcc.gov/licensing-databases/commission-registration-system-fcc.

Further, we identify in the attached pages those employment units that must complete the Supplemental Investigation Sheet (SIS) of the Form 396-C this year.  The COALS Form 396-C automatically designates those filers required to submit the SIS with a check mark in Section I labeled “Supplemental Investigation Sheet.”  SIS filers should also take note of the following requirements:
• Part I: One job description must be provided for this category: Professionals.
• Part II: Only questions 1, 7 and 8 must be answered.
• Part III: The employment unit’s 2022 EEO Public File Report covering the previous 12 months must be attached.

Questions concerning the Form 396-C can be directed to EEO staff at EB-EEO@fcc.gov or (202) 418-1450.  For technical assistance with COALS, please contact coals_help@fcc.gov and for help with CORES matters, direct questions to COREShelp@fcc.gov.
