Report No. MM-824     MASS MEDIA ACTION         April 28, 1994

        KFSD(FM), SAN DIEGO, GRANTED SHORT TERM RENEWAL SUBJECT TO
                    FORFEITURE AND REPORTING CONDITIONS
            KUSC(FM), LOS ANGELES, GRANTED RENEWAL SUBJECT TO 
                    FORFEITURE AND REPORTING CONDITIONS

     Following review of their respective EEO (Equal Employment
Opportunity) programs, the Commission has granted, subject to
sanctions, the license renewal applications of the following
licensees:  Lotus Communications, Inc. for station KFSD(FM) and
University of Southern California for station KUSC(FM).  The
National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP)
petitioned the applications of both licensees.  The National Black
Media Coalition (NBMC) petitioned the application for station
KFSD(FM).

     The Commission has renewed the license for KFSD(FM) for a
short term subject to reporting conditions and a Notice of Apparent
Liability (NAL) for $18,750 due to deficient recruitment efforts. 
The sanctions are based on the licensee's failure to engage in
recruiting efforts so as to attact an adequate pool of minority
applicants for a substantial number of its 15 full-time jobs. 
Further EEO conduct indicating particular types of deficiencies
also contributed to the imposed sanctions.  In this regard,
specific deficiencies include the licensee's failure to recruit for
at least a third of its vacancies and inadequate efforts given the
large minority labor force.  However, in evaluating the overall
sanctions, the Commission did give the licensee credit for
recruitment efforts which resulted in minority hires.

     The Commission has renewed the license for KUSC(FM) subject to
reporting conditions and a NAL for $17,500 due to deficient 
recruitment efforts.  The sanctions are based on the licensee's
failure to engage in recruiting efforts so as to attract an
adequate pool of minority applicants for a substantial number of
its 19 full-time positions.  Further EEO conduct indicating
particular types of deficiencies include the licensee's inadequate
recruitment efforts given the large minority labor force.  However,
in evaluating the overall sanction, the Commission did give the
licensee credit for recruitment efforts which resulted in minority
hires.
