ENDOWMENT FUNDS: FORM 990, SCHEDULE D, PART V, LINE 4

THE ENDOWNMENT FUNDS THAT SUPPORT NPR ARE HELD AND ADMINISTERED BY A RELATED ORGANIZATION, NPR FOUNDATION (FOUNDATION). THE ENDOWMENT CONSISTS OF FIFTY-SIX FUNDS ESTABLISHED BY DONORS FOR A VARIETY OF PURPOSES (E.G., NPR'S GENERAL MISSION AND OPERATIONS, JOURNALISTIC EXCELLENCE, DIGITAL INNOVATIONS/NEW TECHNOLOGIES, CULTURAL JOURNALISM, JAZZ JOURNALISM AND PROGRAMMING, SCIENCE JOURNALISM, AND THE OPERATION OF NPR FACILITIES).

FIN 48 DISCLOSURE: FORM 990, SCHEDULE D, PART X, LINE 2

THE EFFECTS OF A TAX POSITION CANNOT BE RECOGNIZED IN THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS UNLESS IT IS "MORE-LIKELY-THAN-NOT" TO BE SUSTAINED BASED SOLELY ON ITS TECHNICAL MERITS AS OF THE REPORTING DATE. THE MORE-LIKELY-THAN-NOT THRESHOLD REPRESENTS A POSITIVE ASSERTION BY MANAGEMENT THAT NPR IS ENTITLED TO THE ECONOMIC BENEFITS OF A TAX POSITION. IF A TAX POSITION IS NOT CONSIDERED MORE-LIKELY-THAN-NOT TO BE SUSTAINED BASED SOLELY ON ITS TECHNICAL MERITS, NO BENEFITS OF THE POSITION ARE TO BE RECOGNIZED. MOREOVER, THE MORE-LIKELY-THAN-NOT THRESHOLD MUST CONTINUE TO BE MET IN EACH REPORTING PERIOD TO SUPPORT CONTINUED RECOGNITION OF A BENEFIT. AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2018, THERE WERE NO UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS FOR WHICH A LIABILITY SHOULD BE RECORDED. AS A RESULT OF THE ENACTMENT OF THE TAX CUTS AND JOBS ACT ON DECEMBER 22, 2017, THE US SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION (SEC) ISSUED STAFF ACCOUNTING BULLETIN 118 (SAB 118) TO ADDRESS THE APPLICATION OF GAAP IN SITUATIONS WHEN A REGISTRANT DOES NOT HAVE THE NECESSARY INFORMATION AVAILABLE, PREPARED, OR ANALYZED (INCLUDING COMPUTATIONS) IN REASONABLE DETAIL TO COMPLETE THE ACCOUNTING FOR CERTAIN INCOME TAX EFFECTS OF THE ACT. SAB 118 PROVIDES THAT THE MEASUREMENT PERIOD IS COMPLETE WHEN A COMPANY'S ACCOUNTING IS COMPLETE, BUT SHOULD NOT EXTEND BEYOND ONE YEAR FROM THE ENACTMENT DATE. WHILE NOT AN SEC REGISTRANT, NPR IS FOLLOWING THE ABOVE GUIDANCE AS IT PERTAINS TO TAX REFORM.

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST: FORM 990, PART VI, LINE 12C	NPR REGULARLY MONITORS AND SURVEYS DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, AND KEY EMPLOYEES TO IDENTIFY POSSIBLE CONFLICTS OF INTEREST. NPR'S GENERAL COUNSEL IS AUTHORIZED TO SEEK INFORMATION FROM DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, AND KEY EMPLOYEES AS TO CONFLICTS OF INTEREST, NONPUBLIC CORPORATE INFORMATION, AND GRATUITIES AS HE OR SHE DEEMS APPROPRIATE, INCLUDING PERIODIC DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION ABOUT THE INTERESTS WHICH COULD LEAD TO CONFLICTS OF INTEREST. IN REGARDS TO ACTUAL OR APPARENT CONFLICTS OF INTEREST, A DIRECTOR SHALL: 1) REFRAIN FROM ANY USE OF THEIR POSITION AS A DIRECTOR WHICH IS MOTIVATED BY, OR GIVES THE APPEARANCE OF BEING MOTIVATED BY, THE DESIRE FOR GAIN FOR THE DIRECTOR OR FOR ANOTHER PERSON OR ORGANIZATION WITH WHICH HE OR SHE IS ASSOCIATED; 2) DISQUALIFY HIMSELF/HERSELF FROM FORMAL OR INFORMAL DISCUSSIONS WITH DIRECTORS OR PARTICIPATION IN ANY DECISIONS WHICH POSE A CONFLICT OF INTEREST OR THE APPEARANCE OF A CONFLICT OF INTEREST. IF SUCH DISQUALIFICATION IS NECESSARY, THE DIRECTOR SHALL INFORM THE CHAIR OF THE BOARD OR RELEVANT COMMITTEE OF THAT DISQUALIFICATION, AND IF THE DIRECTOR HAS NOT ALREADY DONE SO, THE CHAIR SHALL AS SOON AS POSSIBLE THEREAFTER INFORM THE OTHER DIRECTORS OR COMMITTEE MEMBERS AND NPR'S GENERAL COUNSEL OF SUCH DISQUALIFICATION. IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES, A DIRECTOR MAY REQUEST, IN A WRITING DIRECTED TO THE GENERAL COUNSEL, THAT A DISCLOSURE BE TREATED CONFIDENTIALLY. IF THERE IS ANY QUESTION AS TO WHETHER THERE IS A CONFLICT OF INTEREST, THE DIRECTOR, BOARD OR COMMITTEE SHALL REQUEST A WRITTEN OPINION FROM NPR'S GENERAL COUNSEL REGARDING THE PROPRIETY OF THE DIRECTOR'S INVOLVEMENT. AFTER CONSULTING WITH NPR'S GENERAL COUNSEL, THE CHAIR OF THE BOARD SHALL MOVE THAT THE BOARD VOTE SUCH CORRECTIVE ACTIONS AS MAY BE NECESSARY OR APPROPRIATE TO REMEDY ANY VIOLATION OF THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY FOR NPR DIRECTORS AS DETERMINED BY THE BOARD. SUCH MOTION SHALL BE MADE AT THE CHAIR'S INITIATIVE OR AT THE REQUEST OF ANY DIRECTOR. CONFLICTS OF INTEREST INVOLVING OFFICERS AND KEY EMPLOYEES OTHER THAN DIRECTORS ARE ADDRESSED IN A SIMILAR MANNER.
DETERMINING COMPENSATION: FORM 990, PART VI, LINE 15	NPR SEEKS TO ENSURE THAT COMPENSATION IS REASONABLE UNDER SECTION 4958 AND REPRESENTS THE FAIR MARKET VALUE FOR SERVICES RENDERED.

NPR SETS COMPENSATION WITHIN THE RANGE OF THE GOING MARKET RATE. NO INDIVIDUAL HAVING A CONFLICT OF INTEREST UNDER NPR'S CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY IS PERMITTED TO PARTICIPATE IN THE COMPENSATION REVIEW OR DECISION MAKING PROCESS. NPR MAINTAINS ALL RECORDS REGARDING COMPENSATION DECISIONS.
