Responses to Random EEO Audit Due December 2

Responses to the FCC Enforcement Bureau’s random EEO audit are due no later than December 2, 2024.  Approximately 150 broadcast radio and television stations were on the list, which can be reviewed as part of this public notice.  If your station is on the list, a response must be uploaded to the online public file by the deadline.  If the listed station is part of a group of stations included in the same station employment unit, the EEO audit response must be uploaded to the online public file of each station in the station employment unit.

Stations can request an extension if needed by emailing eb-eeo@fcc.gov, explaining the reason an extension is required.  The Bureau is pretty prompt in responding to those requests, but until they do respond and grant more time, the prior deadline remains in effect.

Due to potential impacts from Hurricanes Helene and Milton, stations in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia who need more time to respond can simply use January 16, 2025 to respond in lieu of having to request additional time.  If a station in those states has unique circumstances that makes even the January 16 deadline impossible, they should contact the Enforcement Bureau to discuss options.
