## Abstract

This document grants in part, and denies in part, both one petition for partial reconsideration and clarification and one petition for expedited clarification of the Commission's new broadcast and cable Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) rules and policies. The document also considers certain issues pertaining to the EEO rules on the motion of the Commission, primarily as a result of informal inquiries from the public. In addition, the document amends the EEO rules to clarify that data concerning the gender, race and ethnicity of a broadcaster's or cable entity's workforce will not be used to assess its compliance with the rules. The intended effect is to clarify the Commission's EEO rules for the broadcasting and cable industries.
