INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING

FCC FORMS 395-A & 395-M

YOU ARE STRONGLY URGED TO CONSULT THE COMMISSION'S CABLE EEO RULES

BEFORE COMPLETING THIS FORM

47 CFR Section 76.71 et seq.

General Instructions

Supply the requested information for the unit identified by the EEO ID number appearing on the attachment containing the employee data

grid (Section V). If the unit is to submit a Supplemental Investigation Sheet (SIS), one will be attached to the form and an X will appear in

the brackets before "Supplemental Investigation Sheet Attached" located in the box "For FCC Use Only" on page 1 of the form. If the unit

no longer exists due to consolidation with another unit, or is no longer under your control, attach as Exhibit A an explanation and proceed

to Section VIII.

Section I

In addition to the unit operator's legal name, supply, if applicable, the name of the MSO owning or controlling the operator.

Supply the address to which you want correspondence sent.

Supply the county and state of the unit's principal employment office.

A full-time employee is one who permanently works 30 or more hours per week.

Insert the payroll period in July, August or September used for this year's report.

Place an X in the appropriate brackets for each possible exhibit.

Section II

Submit as Exhibit A a list of communities added to or deleted from the unit, using the format provided. To obtain this information, review

the prior year's form for the unit, noting the communities then comprising the unit, and comparing that list with the names of the

communities now comprising the unit.

(NOT APPLICABLE TO MVPD UNITS)

Section III

Carefully answer each of the nine (9) questions by checking either Yes or No. If the answer is No, attach as Exhibit B an explanation. The

focus of question three is on whether cable units have engaged in broad and inclusive outreach. The Commission does not require the

targeting of certain kinds of sources or organizations. With regard to question five, we clarify that efforts to seek out entrepreneurs should

be broad enough to cover all segments of the community, and that no entity should be excluded on the basis of race, national origin or

gender. In addition, indicate which option the cable employment unit will utilize for the next 12 months. Our EEO Rule requires cable

entities to select from two approaches how they will choose to ensure the success of their outreach. Specifically, as one option, cable

entities may adopt two supplemental recruitment measures specified in Section 76.75 of the Commission's Rules. As a second option,

cable entities may forego the supplemental recruitment measures and design their own broad and inclusive outreach program, as long as

they are able to demonstrate success in achieving broad outreach to all segments of the community, including minorities and females, based

upon an analysis of the recruitment source, race, national origin, and gender of applicants attracted by their outreach efforts. See 47 C.F.R.

Section 76.75.
