FCC FORM 323-E
INSTRUCTIONS FOR OWNERSHIP REPORT FOR NONCOMMERCIAL BROADCAST STATIONS
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
1. Definitions. For the purposes of completing this form:
(1) A Licensee is a natural person or an entity that
holds a Commission license for a noncommercial
educational broadcast station.
(2) A Permittee is a natural person or an entity that
holds a Commission construction permit for a
noncommercial educational broadcast station.
(3) A Respondent is any person or entity that is
required to file Form 323-E.
2. Filing Requirements: Non-Biennial Ownership
Reports. Licensees and Permittees of noncommercial
educational AM, FM, or full power television stations
must file Form 323-E to report all attributable interests in
the Licensee or Permittee as follows.
(1) Transfers of Control/Assignment of License or
Construction Permit. Licensees and Permittees
must file Form 323-E within 30 days after the
consummation of a transfer of control or an
assignment of a noncommercial educational AM,
FM, or full power television station license or
construction permit. See 47 C.F.R. Section
73.3615(f). Note: FCC consent is required
prior to consummation of transfers of
control/assignments
of
broadcast
authorizations.
(2) Post-grant of Construction Permit. A Permittee
of a new noncommercial educational AM, FM, or
full power television broadcast station must file
Form 323-E within 30 days after the grant of an
original construction permit. See 47 C.F.R.
Section 73.3615(e)(i).
(3) Application for Station License. On the date that
a Permittee applies for a license to cover an
original construction permit for a new
noncommercial educational AM, FM, or full
power television broadcast station, the Permittee
must file Form 323-E to update its ownership
information. A filer may choose to certify the
continuing accuracy and completeness of a
previously-filed ownership report. If the permit

was not assigned or transferred since it was first
granted, the filer may certify the continuing
accuracy and completeness of a previously-filed
report that was submitted pursuant to item (1),
above (i.e., a report that was filed in connection
with grant of the original construction permit). If
the permit was assigned or transferred since it
was first granted, the filer may certify the
continuing accuracy and completeness of a
previously-filed report that was submitted
pursuant to item (2), above (i.e., a postconsummation ownership report). In either case,
the information in the previously-filed report
must remain accurate. See 47 C.F.R. Section
73.3615(e)(ii).
In the case of organizational structures that include
holding companies or other forms of indirect ownership,
a separate FCC Form 323-E must be filed for each entity
in the organizational structure that has an attributable
interest in the Licensee or Permittee. If a Permittee or
Licensee holds multiple construction permits and/or
station licenses for which the filing of a non-biennial
ownership report was triggered pursuant to (1), (2), or (3),
above, and the information submitted on the Permittee’s
or Licensee’s ownership report is equally applicable to
each such permit and/or license, the Licensee or Permittee
may file a single Form 323-E listing all such licenses
and/or permits. Similarly, if a non-Licensee/Permittee
Respondent holds attributable interests in multiple
Licensees or Permittees and the information submitted on
the Respondent’s ownership report is equally applicable
to each such Licensee/Permittee and all associated
licenses/permits, the Respondent may file a single Form
323-E listing all such Licensees/Permittees and
licenses/permits. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any
Respondent that both (1) is a Licensee and/or Permittee
and (2) holds attributable interests in one or more
Licensees and/or Permittees must file two ownership
reports – one as a Licensee/Permittee and one as a nonLicensee/Permittee Respondent.
3. This form is not to be used to request a transfer of
control or assignment of license or construction permit.
The appropriate forms for use in connection with such
transfers or assignments are FCC Forms 314, 315, and/or
316. See 47 C.F.R. Sections 73.3540 and 73.3541. It is
the responsibility of the Licensee or Permittee to

control or an assignment.

provide the name, organization, and contact information
for the Respondent’s representative.

4. Filing Requirements: Biennial Reports. Licensees
of noncommercial educational AM, FM, and full power
television broadcast stations, as well as Licensees of Class
A Television and Low Power Television (LPTV) stations,
must file FCC Form 323-E every two years to report all
attributable interests in the Licensee. Ownership reports
must be filed by December 1 in all odd-numbered years.
The information in each ownership report shall be current
as of October 1 of the year in which the ownership report
is filed. See 47 C.F.R. Section 73.3615(d).

Licensee/Permittee Respondents. The name of the
Licensee or Permittee should be stated exactly as it
appears on the station’s existing license or construction
permit. The current street address or post office box used
by the Licensee or Permittee for receipt of Commission
correspondence should be set forth. Any change in the
name of the Licensee or Permittee, which does not
involve a change in ownership requiring prior
Commission approval, can be communicated to the
Commission by letter. Changes in the mailing address
previously used by the Licensee or Permittee should be
promptly transmitted to the Commission. See 47 C.F.R.
Section 1.5. Licensees and permittees should submit
address changes via the Media Bureau electronic filing
system
(http://www.fcc.gov/encyclopedia/mediabureau-filing-systems-and-databases).

In the case of organizational structures that include
holding companies or other forms of indirect ownership,
a separate FCC Form 323-E must be filed for each entity
in the organizational structure that has an attributable
interest in the Licensee. If a Licensee holds multiple
station licenses and the information submitted on the
Licensee’s ownership report is equally applicable to each
such license, the Licensee may file a single Form 323-E
listing all such licenses. Similarly, if a non-Licensee
Respondent holds attributable interests in multiple
Licensees and the information submitted on the
Respondent’s ownership report is equally applicable to
each such Licensee and all licenses, the Respondent may
file a single Form 323-E listing all such Licensees and
licenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Respondent
that both (1) is a Licensee and (2) holds attributable
interests in one or more Licensees must file two
ownership reports – one as a Licensee and one as a nonLicensee Respondent.

FRN. The Respondent must provide its FRN – a ten-digit
unique entity identifier. An FRN can be obtained through
the Commission Registration System (CORES), which is
listed
among
the
FCC
E-Filing
systems
(https://www.fcc.gov/licensingdatabases/general/online-filing).
If a Respondent submits and/or is listed as an attributable
interest holder on multiple ownership reports, it must
provide the same FRN on all such ownership reports.
Filers should coordinate with each other to ensure such
consistency.
Questions concerning CORES FRNs can be directed to
the CORES help desk via email at CORES@fcc.gov or
by calling 1-877-480-3201 (Mon.-Fri. 8 a.m.-6 p.m. ET).

If there has been no change in the information submitted
since the filing of the last biennial report, and that last
biennial report was filed electronically via the
Commission’s Licensing and Management System
(LMS) using the current version of Form 323-E, a
Licensee or other Respondent may electronically validate
and resubmit its previously-filed biennial Form 323-E.

Respondent and Report Information. Select the
appropriate option to indicate whether the Respondent, is
(1) a Licensee;
(2) a Permittee (non-biennial reports only); or

prefilling capabilities within the LMS to create the new
report.
Also enter the “as of” date in the field provided. When
filing a biennial ownership report, the date entered must
be Oct. 1 of the filing year.
Licensee/Permittee and License/Permit Information.
All Licensee/Permittee Respondents must enter the name
and FRN of the Licensee/Permittee and provide
information for each license/permit held by the
Licensee/Permittee and covered by the ownership report,
including call sign, Facility ID Number, community of
license, and class of service. All non-Licensee/Permittee
Respondents must enter the name and FRN for each
Licensee/Permittee covered by the ownership report. In
addition, such Respondents must provide the required
information for each license/permit that is held by one of
those Licensee(s)/Permittee(s) and covered by the
ownership report.

A Respondent with a current and unamended biennial
ownership report on file with the Commission that is still
accurate and that was filed using the current electronic
version of Form 323-E may select option (2) to validate
and resubmit the Respondent’s previously-filed biennial
ownership report. A Respondent that selects this option
will not be permitted to make changes to the information
provided under Licensee/Permittee and License/Permit
Information or to Section II-B of the new report. If such
changes are needed, the Respondent should NOT select
option (2) but instead should make use of the report
copying/prefilling capabilities within LMS to create the
new report.

Facility ID Number. Facility ID numbers can be located
by using the “Station Search” at the Media Bureau
electronic
filing
system
(http://www.fcc.gov/encyclopedia/media-bureaufiling-systems-and-databases). In addition, the Facility
ID Number is included on all broadcast authorizations and
postcards.

If a report is filed pursuant to option (6), provide the file
number of the previously-filed report that is being
certified. A Respondent that selects this option will not
be permitted to make changes to the information provided
under
Licensee/Permittee
and
License/Permit
Information or to Section II-A of the new report. If such
changes are needed, the Respondent should NOT select
option (6) and should instead select option (5) and make
use of the report copying/ prefilling capabilities within
LMS to create the new report.

FRN. Filers must provide an FRN – a ten-digit unique
identifier – for each licensee/permittee that appears on the
report. An FRN can be obtained through the CORES,
which is listed among the FCC E-Filing systems
(https://www.fcc.gov/licensingdatabases/general/online-filing).

Respondents may also amend a previously filed
ownership report. Respondents should select this option
only if the purpose of the filing is to correct one or more
errors in a previously-submitted report. Filing an
amendment will update the previously-filed report, and
the resulting report will have the same file number as the
previously-filed report. When submitting an amendment,
a Respondent must provide the File Number of the
previously-filed report and an exhibit listing the portions
of the previous report that are being revised. A
Respondent that wishes to create a new report based on
data contained in a previously-submitted report should
NOT amend the previously-submitted report. Instead,
the Respondent should make use of the report copying/

SECTION II-A – NON-BIENNIAL OWNERSHIP
INFORMATION

Questions concerning CORES FRNs can be directed to
the CORES help desk via email at CORES@fcc.gov or
by calling 1-877-480-3201 (Mon.-Fri. 8 a.m.-6 p.m. ET).

Contract Information. Licensees and Permittees of full
power noncommercial educational television stations,
AM radio stations, and FM radio stations are required to
provide to the Commission upon request copies of any
contracts or other instruments, or modifications thereof,
relating to the ownership, control, or management of the
Licensee or Permittee or to its stock. See 47 C.F.R.
Section 73.3613. Licensees and Permittees must provide
the Commission with copies of all contracts or
instruments of the types specified in Section 73.3613
within seven days of a request by the FCC. The filing
requirement is not limited to executed contracts, but
3

includes documents such as options, pledges, and other
executory agreements and contracts relating to
ownership, control, or management.

non-insulated members and other persons or entities with
a direct attributable interest in the Respondent. (A
“direct” interest is one that is not held through any
intervening companies or entities.) In the case of vertical
or indirect ownership structures, report only those
interests in the Respondent that also represent an
attributable interest in the Licensee(s) and/or Permittee(s)
for which the report is being submitted.

Licensee/Permittee Respondents should list all
documents set forth in Section 73.3613(a) through (c) for
all of the stations covered by the report. For each contract
or instrument, the Respondent should provide a
description of the document, a listing of the parties, the
month and year of execution, and the month and year of
expiration (if the agreement is perpetual or does not have
a fixed expiration date, select “No Expiration Date”). In
addition, the Respondent should indicate whether each
document is a network affiliation agreement or another
type of document. If “other” is selected, filers may use
the text box to provide additional information about the
agreement. Each contract/instrument must be identified
and listed directly in the fields provided. For the
purposes of completing this question only a listing of
the relevant contract and instruments, including the
specific information discussed above, is required. Do
not attach copies of the contracts/instruments to the
form.

List each person or entity with a direct attributable interest
in the Respondent separately. Entities that are part of an
organizational structure that includes holding companies
or other forms of indirect ownership must file separate
ownership reports. In such a structure, do not report or
file separate reports for persons or entities that do not have
an attributable interest in the Licensee(s) and/or
Permittee(s) for which the report is being submitted.
Attributable Agreements. Pursuant to Section 73.3555,
Notes 2(j) and 2(k), certain agreements give rise to an
attributable interest in a Licensee or Permittee. Any party
to such agreement that creates an attributable interest in
the Licensee/Permittee by virtue of the standards set forth
in 73.3555, Notes 2(j) and 2(k) must be listed in the
Ownership Interests Section of the report filed by the
Licensee/Permittee – regardless of whether or not the
Licensee/Permittee itself is a party to the agreement(s). In
addition, each such party must file its own ownership
report(s), pursuant to the standards set forth in these
Instructions, in connection with the relevant
Licensee/Permittee and license(s)/permit(s).

This question does not apply to non-Licensee/Permittee
Respondents.
Ownership Interests. As used in this question, an
attributable interest is an ownership interest in or
relationship to a Licensee that confers on its holder a
certain degree of influence or control over the Licensee as
defined in the Commission’s rules. For guidance
concerning attributable interests, Respondents should
consult the instructions below. In addition, Respondents
should review the Commission’s attribution policies and
standards, which are set forth in 47 C.F.R. Section
73.3555, as revised and explained in Review of the
Commission’s Regulations Governing Attribution of
Broadcast and Cable/MDS Interests, MM Docket No. 94150, 14 FCC Rcd 12559 (1999), recon. granted in part,
16 FCC Rcd 1097 (2000) and Report and Order in MM
Docket No. 83-46, 97 FCC 2d 997 (1984), recon. granted
in part, 58 RR 2d 604 (1985), further modified on recon.,
61 RR 2d 739 (1986). Finally, Respondents should
consult Promoting Diversification of Ownership in the
Broadcasting Services, MB Docket No. 07-294, Second
Report and Order, and Order on Reconsideration, 31 FCC
Rcd 398, 422-24, paras. 47-50 (2016).

FRNs. Respondents must provide an FRN – a ten-digit
unique identifier – for each entity reported on Form 323E. An FRN can be obtained through CORES, which is
listed
among
the
FCC
E-Filing
systems
(https://www.fcc.gov/licensingdatabases/general/online-filing).
For each individual (but not entities) reported on Form
323-E, a Respondent must provide a CORES FRN, a
Restricted Use FRN (RUFRN), or a Special Use FRN
(SUFRN). While Respondents are encouraged to report
either a CORES FRN or RUFRN for each individual on
Form 323-E, Respondents also have the option of
reporting an SUFRN for an individual interest holder.
However, if an individual has already obtained an
RUFRN or CORES FRN (or if an RUFRN or CORES
FRN has already been obtained on behalf of an
individual), the Respondent must report that existing
RUFRN or CORES FRN for that individual. If an
RUFRN or CORES FRN has been previously reported for
an individual on one or more ownership report filings
(either commercial or noncommercial), the Respondent
must use that previously-reported RUFRN or CORES

Part (a). Respondents must enter detailed information
about ownership interests by generating a series of
subforms. Answer each item on each subform. The first
subform listing should be for the Respondent itself. If the
Respondent is not a natural person, also list each of the
officers, directors, stockholders, non-insulated partners,
4

FRN for that individual on all current and future
ownership report filings.

If a party submits and/or is listed as an attributable interest
holder on multiple ownership reports, it must provide the
same FRN on all such ownership reports, regardless of
whether that FRN is a CORES FRN, RUFRN, or SUFRN.
Filers should coordinate with each other to ensure such
consistency.

Before generating or submitting an SUFRN for an
individual, Respondents should read the Commission’s
Form 323 and Form 323-E Frequently Asked Questions
concerning the SUFRN (https://www.fcc.gov/media/
ownership-report-commercial-broadcast-stationform-323). By reporting an SUFRN for an individual, the
Respondent affirms to the Commission that the
Respondent attempted and was unable to identify an
existing CORES FRN or RUFRN for that individual
based on previous ownership reports and information that
is publicly available in the CORES database. See
Promoting Diversification of Ownership in the
Broadcasting Services, MB Docket No. 07-294, Order on
Reconsideration, 32 FCC Rcd 3440, 3448, para. 13
(2017).

The guidance concerning SUFRNs provided in Media
Bureau Announces Online Availability of Revised
Biennial Form 323, an Instructional Workshop on the
Revised Form, and the Possibility of Obtaining a Special
Use FRN for the Form, MB Docket No. 07-294, Public
Notice, 24 FCC Rcd 14329 (Med. Bur. 2009) has been
superseded as discussed herein and as provided in
Promoting Diversification of Ownership in the
Broadcasting Services, MB Docket No. 07-294, Second
Report and Order, and Order on Reconsideration, 31 FCC
Rcd 398 (2016), recon. granted in part, Order on
Reconsideration, 32 FCC Rcd 3440 (2017).

The Commission reminds filers of their obligation to
review the ownership report and affirm that, to the best of
the filer’s “knowledge and belief, all statements in [the
ownership report] are true, correct, and complete.” This
includes verifying that the CORES FRN or RUFRN
reported for each reported party is correct and that no
SUFRN has been used for an individual who has
previously been reported with a CORES FRN or RUFRN
on one or more ownership report filings (either
commercial or noncommercial) or who has an assigned
CORES FRN or RUFRN that is publicly available in the
CORES.

Questions concerning CORES FRNs and RUFRNs can be
directed to the CORES help desk via email at
CORES@fcc.gov or by calling 1-877-480-3201 (Mon.Fri. 8 a.m.-6 p.m. ET).
Address Information. Provide address information for
the interest holder in the relevant fields.
Listing Type. Indicate whether the interest holder is the
Respondent on the report. Respondent interest holders
should be identified on the first subform of Part (a).

If an SUFRN has not been reported previously for an
individual on any ownership report filings (either
commercial or noncommercial), and, pursuant to the
instructions and standards set forth above, the Respondent
determines that the individual does not have an existing
CORES FRN or RUFRN, the Respondent may click the
button on the relevant subform for Part (a) to generate an
SUFRN for that individual. If an SUFRN has been
previously reported for an individual on one or more
ownership report filings (either commercial or
noncommercial) and, pursuant to the discussion and
standards set forth above, the Respondent determines that
the individual does not have an existing CORES FRN or
RUFRN, the Respondent must report the previously-used
SUFRN for the individual.

Positional Interests: For each interest holder other than
the Respondent, check the boxes for each type of interest
in the Respondent held by the interest holder. If “other”
is selected, specify the interest type.
Principal Profession or Occupation: Indicate the
principal profession or occupation of the reported
individual. Interest holders that are not natural persons
are not required to answer this item.
By Whom Appointed or Elected: Indicate the person(s)
responsible for appointing or electing the reported
individual. Interest holders that are not natural persons
are not required to answer this item.
Percentages of Votes and Total Assets (Equity Debt
Plus). For each interest holder other than the Respondent,
provide the interest holder’s voting percentage in the
Respondent in the field provided. If the interest holder
holds an attributable interest in the Respondent solely
pursuant to the Commission’s Equity Debt Plus
attribution standard, provide the interest holder’s
percentage of total assets (Equity Debt Plus) in the field

RUFRNs and SUFRNs may only be used to file
ownership reports, and may not be used for any other
purpose at the FCC. RUFRNs and SUFRNs are only
available for natural persons. In addition, RUFRNs and
SUFRNs are not available for any natural person who is a
Respondent on one or more ownership reports.

provided. Otherwise, leave the total assets (Equity Debt
Plus) field blank.

Licensee Respondents that hold one or more licenses for
full power noncommercial educational television stations,
AM radio stations, and/or FM radio stations should list all
documents set forth in Section 73.3613(a) through (c) for
all of the stations covered by the report. For each contract
or instrument, the Respondent should provide a
description of the document, a listing of the parties, the
month and year of execution, and the month and year of
expiration (if the agreement is perpetual or does not have
a fixed expiration date, select “No Expiration Date”). In
addition, the Respondent should indicate whether each
document is a network affiliation agreement or another
type of document. If “other” is selected, filers may use
the text box to provide additional information about the
agreement. Each contract/instrument must be identified
and listed directly in the fields provided. For the
purposes of completing this question only a listing of
the relevant contract and instruments, including the
specific information discussed above, is required. Do
not attach copies of the contracts/instruments to the
form.

Other Broadcast Interests. Use the radio buttons on the
subform to indicate whether the interest holder reported
on that subform also has attributable interests in one or
more broadcast stations other than those covered by the
current ownership report.
Part (b). Respondents must indicate that the information
provided in Part (a) of this question is complete by
certifying that all interests, including equity, financial, or
voting interests, not reported in response to Part (a) are
non-attributable.
Part (c). If the Respondent seeks an attribution
exemption for any officer or member of the governing
board (or other governing entity) with duties wholly
unrelated to the Licensee(s)/Permittee(s), select “Yes”
and enter the name and title of the each such individual in
the applicable fields. For each such individual, provide
an exhibit establishing that he or she will not exercise
authority or influence in areas that will affect the
Respondent or the Licensee(s)/Permittee(s) and station(s)
covered by the report. This exhibit should describe that
individual’s duties and responsibilities and explain the
manner in which such individual is insulated from the
Respondent and, therefore, should not be attributed an
interest.

Licensee respondents that hold only authorizations for
Class A Television or LPTV stations should select “Not
Applicable” in response to this question and should not
provide any information concerning contracts or other
instruments.

When responding to Part (c), Respondents should note
that exemption from attribution cannot be invoked for an
officer or member of the governing board (or other
governing entity) unless he or she does not, and will not,
have the ability to influence the broadcast operations of
the Permittee(s)/Licensee(s) or Station(s). See 47 C.F.R.

OWNERSHIP

Contract Information.
Licensees of full power
noncommercial educational television stations, AM radio
stations, and FM radio stations are required to provide to
the Commission upon request copies of any contracts or
other instruments, or modifications thereof, relating to the
ownership, control, or management of the Licensee or to
its stock. See 47 C.F.R. Section 73.3613. Licensees must
provide the Commission with copies of all contracts or
instruments of the types specified in Section 73.3613
within seven days of a request by the FCC. The filing
requirement is not limited to executed contracts, but
includes documents such as options, pledges, and other
executory agreements and contracts relating to
ownership, control, or management.
6

Part (a). Respondents must enter detailed information
about ownership interests by generating a series of
subforms. Answer each item on each subform. The first
subform listing should be for the Respondent itself. If the
Respondent is not a natural person, also list each of the
officers, directors, stockholders, non-insulated partners,
non-insulated members and other persons or entities with
a direct attributable interest in the Respondent. (A
“direct” interest is one that is not held through any
intervening companies or entities.) In the case of vertical
or indirect ownership structures, report only those
interests in the Respondent that also represent an
attributable interest in the Licensee(s) for which the report
is being submitted.

RUFRN or CORES FRN for that individual. If an
RUFRN or CORES FRN has been previously reported for
an individual on one or more ownership report filings
(either commercial or noncommercial), the Respondent
must use that previously-reported RUFRN or CORES
FRN for that individual on all current and future
ownership report filings.

List each person or entity with a direct attributable interest
in the Respondent separately. Entities that are part of an
organizational structure that includes holding companies
or other forms of indirect ownership must file separate
ownership reports. In such a structure, do not report or
file separate reports for persons or entities that do not have
an attributable interest in the Licensee(s) for which the
report is being submitted.

Before generating or submitting an SUFRN for an
individual, Respondents should read the Commission’s
Form 323 and Form 323-E Frequently Asked Questions
concerning the SUFRN (https://www.fcc.gov/media/
ownership-report-commercial-broadcast-stationform-323). By reporting an SUFRN for an individual, the
Respondent affirms to the Commission the Respondent
attempted and was unable to identify an existing CORES
FRN or RUFRN for that individual based on previous
ownership reports and information that is publicly
available in the CORES database. See Promoting
Diversification of Ownership in the Broadcasting
Services, MB Docket No. 07-294, Order on
Reconsideration, 32 FCC Rcd 3440, 3447, para. 13
(2017).

Attributable Agreements. Pursuant to Section 73.3555,
Notes 2(j) and 2(k), certain agreements give rise to an
attributable interest in a Licensee. Any party to such
agreement that is attributable in the Licensee by virtue of
the standards set forth in 73.3555, Notes 2(j) and 2(k)
must be listed in the Ownership Interests Section of the
report filed by the Licensee – regardless of whether or not
the Licensee itself is a party to the agreement(s). In
addition, each such party must file its own ownership
report(s), pursuant to the standards set forth in these
Instructions, in connection with the relevant Licensee(s)
and license(s).

The Commission reminds filers of their obligation to
review the ownership report and affirm that, to the best of
the filer’s “knowledge and belief, all statements in [the
ownership report] are true, correct, and complete.” This
includes verifying that the CORES FRN or RUFRN
reported for each reported party is correct and that no
SUFRN has been used for an individual who has
previously been reported with a CORES FRN or RUFRN
on one or more ownership report filings (either
commercial or noncommercial) or who has an assigned
CORES FRN or RUFRN that is publicly available in the
CORES database.

FRNs. Respondents must provide an FRN – a ten-digit
unique identifier – for each entity reported on Form 323E. An FRN can be obtained through the Commission
Registration System, CORES, which is listed among the
FCC E-Filing systems (https://www.fcc.gov/licensingdatabases/general/online-filing).

If an SUFRN has not been reported previously for an
individual on any ownership report filings (either
commercial or noncommercial), and, pursuant to the
instructions and standards set forth above, the Respondent
that the individual does not have an existing CORES FRN
or, the Respondent may click the button on the relevant
subform for Part (a) to generate an SUFRN for that
individual. If an SUFRN has been previously reported for
an individual on one or more ownership report filings
(either commercial or noncommercial) and, pursuant to
the discussion and standards set forth above, the
Respondent determines that the individual does not have
an existing CORES FRN or RUFRN, the Respondent
must report the previously-used SUFRN for the
individual.

For each individual (but not entities) reported on Form
323-E, a Respondent must provide a CORES FRN, a
Restricted Use FRN (RUFRN), or a Special Use FRN
(SUFRN). While Respondents are encouraged to report
either a CORES FRN or RUFRN for each individual on
Form 323-E, Respondents also have the option of
reporting an SUFRN for an individual interest holder.
However, if an individual has already obtained an
RUFRN or CORES FRN (or if an RUFRN or CORES
FRN has already been obtained on behalf of an
individual), the Respondent must report that existing

RUFRNs and SUFRNs may only be used to file
ownership reports, and may not be used for any other
7

purpose at the FCC. RUFRNs and SUFRNs are only
available for natural persons. In addition, RUFRNs and
SUFRNs are not available for any natural person who is a
Respondent on one or more ownership reports.

ownership policies have historically applied. In addition
to citizenship and gender information, Part (a)seeks
information concerning the ethnicity and race of reported
individuals. Interest holders that are not natural persons
are not required to answer this item.

If a party submits and/or is listed as an attributable interest
holder on multiple ownership reports, it must provide the
same FRN on all such ownership reports, regardless of
whether that FRN is a CORES FRN, RUFRN, or SUFRN.
Filers should coordinate with each other to ensure such
consistency.

Ethnicity. Indicate whether or not the individual being
reported is Hispanic or Latino (i.e., a person of Cuban,
Mexican, Puerto Rican, South or Central American, or
other Spanish Culture or origin, regardless of race).
