**COMMISSION AWARDS CONTRACT TO NEUSTAR INC. TO BUILD AND**

**OPERATE CENTRALIZED DATABASE FOR INTERNET BASED TELECOMMUNICATIONS
RELAY SERVICE NUMBERING SYSTEM**

**CG Docket No. 03-123**

**WC Docket No. 05-196**

On September 9, 2008, the Federal Communications Commission (Commission)
issued a contract award to NeuStar Inc. (NeuStar) to build and operate a
centralized database for Internet-based Telecommunications Relay Service
(TRS) to support ten-digit numbers for Internet-based TRS users no later
than December 31, 2008.

In the Commission's June 24, 2008 Report and Order adopting a system for
assigning North American Numbering Plan (NANP) ten-digit telephone
numbers to Internet-based TRS users, the Commission determined that a
neutral third-party administrator will build, maintain, and operate a
centralized numbering directory mechanism to map the NANP telephone
numbers assigned to Internet-based TRS users to an appropriate Internet
address (or other appropriate endpoint identifier).[^1] Accordingly, on
June 29, 2008, the Commission posted a Combined Synopsis/Solicitation as
a Request for Quotation (Solicitation Number: RFQ08000022) on the
Government Wide Point of Entry (*FedBizOpps*).[^2] Based on the results
of the Request for Quotation, the Commission awarded the contract to
NeuStar. For further information, refer to contract award on
*FedBizOpps*, available at [https://www.fbo.gov](https://www.fbo.gov/)
and the Commission's post-award listing on its Contracts and Purchasing
website, available at <http://www.fcc.gov/omd/contracts/post-award/>.

**N.Y. TRIGGERS GUN STINGS NATIONWIDE**

**By DAVID SEIFMAN City Hall Bureau Chief**

**New York Post**

*May 10, 2007* \-- \\A half-dozen cities might follow New York\'s lead
and conduct their own undercover sting operations to disrupt illegal gun
sales, a senior mayoral aide disclosed yesterday.

\"There are a number of cities that want to emulate what we\'ve done,\"
John Feinblatt, Mayor Bloomberg\'s criminal justice coordinator, said at
a breakfast sponsored by Ladies Home Journal.

Twelve of 27 out-of-state gun dealers agreed to have their operations
monitored after private investigators hired by the city bought weapons
in their shops last year under circumstances that apparently violated
federal law.

The city is suing the dealers who won\'t cooperate.

Feinblatt declined to identify the other cities considering similar
undercover operations, saying that might alert the rogue gun dealers
being targeted.

\"Every other city shares this problem,\" said Feinblatt, explaining the
possible expansion of the aggressive initiative. \"They all feel like we
do - in order to protect their citizens they have to go across state
lines.\"

Those invited to the breakfast promoting a Journal story on illegal guns
included: Patricia Tucker, whose husband was gunned down in 2004 while
serving as a U.S marshal in North Carolina; Chris Meloni, who plays
Detective Elliott Stabler on the popular \"Law & Order\" TV series, and
Police Commissioner Ray Kelly.

[At one point during the session, Bloomberg took a swipe at the
Fraternal Order of Police, which claims 308,000 members]{.mark} and
supports a federal measure the mayor says would make it almost
impossible to trace illegal weapons.

[[\"It is one fringe organization]{.underline},\" charged
Bloomberg.]{.mark}

[\"I would say resident within the Fraternal Order of Police is far more
expertise with the administration of justice than Mayor Bloomberg\'s
limited experience in that area,\" shot back James Pasco, the group\'s
executive director.]{.mark}

[He said the police group is concerned about releasing data that exposes
the names of witnesses, informants and officers.]{.mark}

Paul Helmke, president of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence,
called on other elected officials to join Bloomberg\'s campaign.

\"If we don\'t get people to speak, we need to run Mayor Bloomberg for
President,\" he concluded.

But Joe Waldron, executive director of the Citizens Committee for the
Right to Keep and Bear Arms, warned mayors intent on following
Bloomberg\'s example to \"tread very lightly.\"

He charged that the undercover stings are unlawful. The state attorney
general in Virginia has proposed a law that would block such operations.

\"This is a no-no,\" said Waldron. \"Mayor Bloomberg is taking the law
into his own hands.\"

Dear Ranking Member Dingell and Ranking Member Markey:

Thank you for your letter about the June 2004 draft of an FCC staff
working paper on localism.  In addition, I have recently been made aware
of another draft report, the 2003 "Review of the Radio Industry." I am
forwarding you a copy of both documents.

 

I was not Chairman at the time either of these reports was drafted. I
had not seen \-- nor was I aware of \-- these draft reports before they
were brought to my attention.  No one on my staff had seen either
report, nor were they aware of them.

 

I want to assure you that I too am concerned about what happened to
these two draft reports. I have asked the Inspector General of the FCC
to conduct an investigation into what happened to these draft documents
and will cooperate fully with him.\
\
I do believe the 2004 working paper covers issues relevant to both our
localism and media ownership proceedings and have placed the report in
the record and made it available to the public on our website. I am also
making the 2003 "Review of the Radio Industry" publicly available on our
website and will place copies in the record of both our localism and
media ownership proceedings. Finally, I will ask that the staff update
it with the most recent industry data and release it publicly prior to
the conclusion of the media ownership proceeding.

Sincerely,

Kevin J. Martin

## WIRELESS TELECOM ACTION

**SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AREA (REGION 5) RECEIVES APPROVAL**

**FOR MINOR AMENDMENTS TO ITS PUBLIC SAFETY PLAN**

**(GENERAL DOCKET NO. 89-97)**

By this Public Notice, we announce that the Southern California Area
(Region 5) Radio Planning Committee\'s proposal to amend the Region 5
Public Safety Regional Plan is approved. The amendment revises the
current channel allotments for radio frequencies in the 821-824/866-869
MHz bands within the Southern California area. In accordance with the
National Public Safety Plan, each region is responsible for planning its
use of public safety radio frequency spectrum in the 821-824/866-869 MHz
bands.[^1] The Region 5 Plan was originally adopted by the Commission on
November 8, 1989, [Order]{.underline}, General Docket 89-97, 4 FCC Rcd
8352 (1989) and subsequently revised by letter on November 4, 1994, 9
FCC Rcd 6716 (1994), and by Order on February 28, 1995, 10 FCC Rcd 2824
(1995). The Plan was further modified by letter on April 19, 1996 to
reflect changes made during a filing window, and again by Public Notice
on October 7, 1997 (Report No. WT 97-39) to assign certain frequencies
to new users in Region 5.

On November 6, 2000, we released a Public Notice (DA 00-2495) inviting
interested parties to file comments regarding a proposed amendment to
the Region 5 Plan, filed with the Commission on April 27, 2000,
requesting the following modifications to the frequency list:

-   Channel 795 -- delete Garden Grove and add Orange County

-   Add Imperial Irrigation District to Channels 611, 633, 649, 669,
    671,

> 687, 707, 709, 725, 745, 747, 763, 783 and 785.

-   Add as fill-in Los Angeles County to Channels 800, 818 and 824.

We received no comments in response to the November 6, 2000 Public
Notice. We have reviewed the Region 5 request. The amendment, which is a
minor change to the Region 5 Plan, is accepted

and approved as submitted. The Secretary\'s office will place the
amended Region 5 Plan in the official docket file where it will remain
available to the public.

Questions regarding this Public Notice may be directed to Joy Alford,

Erosional Features on Mars Surface Due to Dry Mass Flows

Fred L. Ogden and Dani Or

ABSTRACT

Observations from NASA's Surveyor spacecraft in orbit around Mars
revealed what appeared to be recent fluvial erosion features on walls of
certain craters. The large-scale of some erosional features led to
speculations attributing their formation to recent liquid flows. The
presence of ephemeral liquid water on the surface of Mars has
significant implications for exploration. However, persistence of
liquids is virtually prohibited by low atmospheric pressure and
temperature on Mars' surface extending down to 1 km of the planetary
crust that is thought to be below the freezing point of water. Under
certain circumstances on earth, the downslope motion of solids due to
gravitational action can create erosional features that appear fluvial,
but in reality are not. Recent studies (e.g., Shinbrot et al. 2004,
PNAS) have posed alternative hypotheses regarding the origins of these
apparently recent erosional features in the absence of flowing liquid.
These hypotheses include: frost heave, groundwater pirating or sapping,
and flows of dry granular materials. We focus on two complementary
aspects: the unlikely existence of liquid on or near the surface of
contemporary Mars, followed by a phenominological examination of the
potential for formation of small scale erosional features due to dry
mass flows. This examination will focus on erosional processes, particle
kinematics, and the role of the atmosphere in particle transport, drag,
and deposition.

In recent years it has become increasingly important to develop fuels
from renewable energy sources such as lignocellulosics. One bottleneck
associated with the fermentation of lignocellulosics is the
co-utilization of xylose in the hemicellulose fraction along with
glucose as a fermentable sugar. This work utilizes proteome-wide
expression profiling through two dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE)
to gain a more defined understanding of physiological responses in the
proteome of metabolically engineered *Z. mobilis* C25 to stresses
associated with the utilization of the recombinant pentose phosphate
(PP) pathway.

This work was able to tentatively assign identifications for three
categories of proteins, including: 8 glycolytic/fermentative enzymes, 4
PP enzymes, and 4 stress proteins. Hierarchical cluster analysis was
performed on time course protein profiles of relative protein abundance
for mixed substrate growth. Through the cluster analysis, it was
determined that functionally related proteins also show similarity in
their protein expression profiles. The general trends that these
clusters of similarly expressed proteins show are decreases in the
relative abundance of PP enzymes, a peak in the relative abundance of
stress proteins after glucose consumption is complete, and a continual
increase in several glycolytic/fermentative enzymes throughout the
course of the fermentation.

GPS SURVEY III: ASTRONOMICAL ORIENTATIONS OF ANCIENT EGYPTIAN TEMPLES

***15 October 2004 -- 15 January 2005***

![](media/image1.jpeg){width="1.775in" height="2.354861111111111in"}

The Greeks, in the 6^th^ century BC, were accredited with the
development of mathematical astronomy. Even though many early Greek
philosophers claim to have been educated in Egypt modern scholars
believe that Babylon was the primary source of inspiration for Greek
mathematical astronomy. This belief was based on textual evidence: many
Babylonian astronomical tablets of an advanced nature have been
discovered, while most Egyptian astronomical literature appears basic
due to its symbolic nature and religious associations. However the
development and accuracy of both Egyptian calendars and architectural
alignments to celestial bodies was virtually ignored in this modern
assessment of ancient Egyptians' astronomical awareness. As the ancient
Greeks borrowed Egyptian construction technologies to develop their
megalithic architecture, it is entirely possible that they also borrowed
Egyptian survey technologies to astronomically align their new temples.

In an effort to determine whether or not early Greek temples *were*
astronomically aligned I conducted archaeoastronomical surveys of Greek
Doric and Ionic temples which were constructed from the 7^th^ to the
4^th^ centuries BC. These dates were important because they paralleled
the time period when Egyptian construction technology had its greatest
influence on the newly-developed Greek Doric and Ionic architectural
orders. Results from these GPS surveys suggest that not only did the
majority of Doric temples have consistent astronomical alignments, but
also that each structure's dimensions appear to have been determined via
the same survey technology which celestially aligned them. After close
analysis of historical records regarding survey instruments and
techniques available to the early Greeks, it appears that the Hellenes
borrowed survey technology pertaining to astronomical alignments
directly from the Egyptians.

Finally, from October 2004 to January 2005, I conducted a third
archaeoastronomical survey which focused on Egyptian temples; most of
these structures were constructed between the 10^th^ and 4^th^ centuries
BC -- a time which coincides and is slightly earlier than the
previously-surveyed Greek temples. Preliminary results of data analysis
from this third archaeoastronomical survey support the possibility that
the early Greeks did, in fact, borrow Egyptian survey technology.

If I am successful in establishing that the ancient Greeks drew on
Egyptian survey methods to celestially align their new temples then it
is possible that the early Greeks were familiar with ancient Egyptian
mathematical and astronomical systems which such survey technologies
would have embodied. If this is the case then it is most likely that the
Greeks learned much about practical astronomy from the Egyptians -- as
well as the Babylonians \-- and that Egyptian astronomy was not as basic
as many modern scholars have assumed.

Metabolix has applied cutting edge bioengineering to develop economic
methods for sustainably producing a wide range of biologically derived
materials, polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs). The company's near term focus
is on commercializing these products based on fermentation using
plant-derived sugars and oils with longer-term research directed at
direct production in crop plants. Metabolix\'s patented developments
forge a significant new link between large-scale, low-cost, sustainable
agricultural production and the existing polymer processing and chemical
industries.

PHA biopolyesters range in properties from strong, moldable
thermoplastics to highly elastic materials to soft, tacky compositions.
They can be made as resins or as aqueous dispersions with excellent
film-forming characteristics. PHAs are biodegradable, and in some cases
extend the performance envelopes achievable with conventional plastics.
PHAs offer a sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative to
petroleum-derived synthetic materials.

**USDA Rural Development and Federated Rural Electric Assist Heron Lake
BioEnergy**

HERON LAKE, Minn., April 8 \-- What began as a loan application in 2004
was capped off with a check-awarding ceremony in 2008.

Federated Rural Electric in Jackson applied for the loan on behalf of
Heron Lake BioEnergy from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Rural
Development program. The \$600,000 loan goes toward partial financing
for equipment at the new 50 million gallon/year fuel-grade ethanol plant
near Heron Lake. The project employs 39 full-time employees with
estimated starting wages ranging from \$10 to \$14 per hour.

"It's a win-win situation for everyone," said Richard Burud, Federated's
general manager. "Heron Lake BioEnergy benefits from the economic
development loan and the area gained a new business with 39 employees.
Farmers gained another outlet for their corn and it helps southwestern
Minnesota be an energy exporter of ethanol."

"We're proud to call Federated Rural Electric and Heron Lake BioEnergy
partners," added Steve Wenzel, State Director of Rural Development in
Minnesota. "This project creates jobs and improves the local economy in
southeastern Minnesota, both of which are key components of President
Bush's vision of a thriving rural America."

The 10-year, no-interest loan goes toward the plant's equipment. As an
electric cooperative, Federated could apply for these funds for local
economic development projects. Federated has helped secure nearly \$1.7
million in USDA loans for five projects since 1990. While Federated does
not provide the plant's electricity, Heron Lake BioEnergy hired
Federated to build and maintain the plant's substation.

Construction of the facility began in October 2005. This plant will be
able to produce at least 50 million gallons of denatured ethanol and
165,000 tons of Dried Distillers Grains with Soluble\'s (DDGS). The
total cost of the plant is expected to be approximately \$119.3 million.

Federated is a Touchstone Energy Cooperative serving 4,900 members in
Jackson and Martin Counties.

The loan comes from Rural Development's Rural Economic Development Loan
program. Under the REDL program, Rural Development provides zero
interest loans to local utilities which, in turn, pass through to local
businesses (ultimate recipients) for projects that will create and
retain employment in rural areas.

USDA Rural Development has financing available for a variety of
infrastructure and economic development projects in rural areas. Since
2001, Rural Development has awarded over \$4 billion throughout rural
Minnesota. More information can be found at
[www.rurdev.usda.gov/mn](http://www.rurdev.usda.gov/mn), or by calling

Mr. Mark D. Sullivan

Carter Ledyard & Milburn LLP

2 Wall Street

New York, New York 10005-2072

Dear Mr. Sullivan:

I am writing in response to your letter to me dated January 17, 2006,
regarding plutonium production at the Idaho National Laboratory Advanced
Test Reactor (ATR). In your letter, you requested, on behalf of your
client, Keep Yellowstone Nuclear Free (KYNF), that the Defense Nuclear
Facilities Safety Board (Board) investigate the safety of ongoing and
proposed operations at the Department of Energy's (DOE) ATR located at
the Idaho National Laboratory. You also stated that KYNF considers the
ATR to be unsafe and forwarded to me your letter to the DOE dated
December 21, 2005, which detailed KYNF's concerns and provided comments
on the Draft Environmental Impact Statement for the Proposed
Consolidation of Nuclear Operations Related to Production of
Radioisotope Power Systems.

The Board's jurisdiction extends to defense nuclear facilities as they
are defined in 42 U.S.C. § 2286g as being production or utilization
facilities under the control or jurisdiction of the Secretary of Energy
and operated for national security purposes. At this time, ATR is not
operated for national security purposes; consequently, ATR is not a
defense nuclear facility subject to the Board's oversight.

It is the practice of the Board, when information comes to the attention
of the Board that pertains to matters not under the Board's jurisdiction
and would be of use to other officials, to refer such information to the
appropriate officials. I appreciate your informing me of KYNF's concerns
and note that your letter to DOE dated December 21, 2005, provided
KYNF's concerns to the appropriate officials in DOE.

Sincerely,

***A. J. Eggenberger***
