FCC Form 395-A, Cable Television Annual Employment Report, collects information on full time paid employees. In order to reduce reporting and recordkeeping burden, it is intentionally the same as the workforce profile collected by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, Employer Report Form (EEO-1). EEOC has proposed modifications to the EEO-1 Form (Federal Register, June 11, 2003, Volume 68, Number 112, pages 34965- 34969). Any changes to the EEO-1 Form should be reflected in changes to FCC Form 395-A.
