Equal Employment Opportunity Records

While §73.881 of the FCC rules requires LPFM stations to afford equal employment opportunity to all qualfiied persons and that no person shall be discriminated against because of race, color, religion, national origin or sex; LPFM stations are not obligated to establish a formal EEO program similar to those that apply to full-service stations as outlined in §73.2080 of the rules. LPFM stations filing EEO reports (forms 396 and 397) do so on a purely voluntary basis.
