Abstract: On 02/08/96, the Commission adopted a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in MM Docket 96-16 as part of its ongoing reinventing government efforts. This rulemaking proceeding seeks comments on specific proposal designed to streamline our equal employment opportunity (EEO) requirements without diminishing the effectiveness of our EEO program. These proposals would reduce the filing and/or recordkeeping requirements of stations and would inevitably amend section 73.2080 and would revise the following FCC forms: FCC-395-B, FCC-396-A, and FCC-396.
