Which form must a broadband cable operator file annually with the FCC listing all measured leakage levels?

• A. Form 320
• B. Form 990
• C. Form 1040
• D. Form 470

Answer: (A)

Leakage measurements are tracked to ensure cable systems don’t emit excessive RF energy that could interfere with other services. To satisfy this requirement, cable operators file an annual report with the FCC that documents all measured leakage levels. The form used for this purpose is Form 320. It collects the measured leakage data, shows how the results compare to FCC limits, and records any corrective actions taken. The other forms are for different purposes: Form 990 is a nonprofit tax return, Form 1040 is an individual income tax return, and Form 470 relates to other regulatory activities not tied to leakage reporting.
