Abstract: The polical broadcasting recordkeeping, third party disclosure and reporting requirements adopted in the Second Order, FCC 04-44, will be used by the public to assess money expended and time allotted to a political candidate and by the Commission to ensure that equal access is afforded to other qualified candidates. The Commission will use the children's programming recordkeeping burden to verify compliance with the commercial limits established in 47 CFR Section 25.701(e), and by the public to assess the DBS provider's compliance with the commercial limits.
