                           CORRECTION

On September 18, 1998, the Mass Media Bureau issued a Public Notice reminding licensees of their obligations
concerning the availability of the public inspection file.  That Public Notice mistakenly relied on In Re
Complaint by Cecily Little and Jacqueline Klein, 32 FCC 2d 474 (1971), in stating that stations may not
request identification from parties seeking entry for purposes of inspecting the public file.  This case was
subsequently modified by the decision in WBRN, Inc., 32 FCC 2d 729 (1971), to permit stations to require
personal identification (name and address) of members of the public seeking access to the public file, although
stations may not require that they identify the organizations they represent.  Attached is the corrected Public
Notice.  Public Notice DA 98-1895 is hereby corrected.
