    Needs and Uses: The Annual Employment Report (FCC Form 395-A) is a 
data collection device used to assess and enforce the Commission's EEO 
requirements. The report identifies employees by gender, race, color, 
and/or national origin in nine major job categories. Every cable entity 
with 6 or more full-time employees and all Satellite Master Antenna 
Television Systems serving 50 or more subscribers and having 6 or more 
full-time employees must file annually a full FCC Form 395-A. However, 
cable entities with 5 or fewer full-time employees must only file 
Sections I, II, and IX of the FCC Form 395-A, and thereafter, need not 
file again unless its employment increases. In addition, cable entities 
with 6 or more full-time employees will file a Supplemental 
Investigation Sheet once every 5 years. The data are used by FCC staff 
to monitor a cable unit's efforts to afford equal employment 
opportunity in employment. The data are also used to assess industry 
trends.
