sponsorship identification. In addition, when an entity rather than an 
individual sponsors the broadcast of a matter that is of a political or 
controversail nature, licensee is required to retain a list of the 
executive officers, or borad of directors, or executive committee, 
etc., of the organization paying for such matter. Sponsorship 
announcements are waived with respect to the braodcast of ``want ads'' 
sponsored by an individual but the licensee shall maintain a list 
showing the name, address and telephone number of each such advertiser. 
These lists shall be made available for public inspection. The data is 
used by the public so that they may know by whom they are being 
persuaded.

Federal Communications Commission.
