STATEMENT OF

COMMISSIONER MICHAEL J. COPPS

*Re: Sponsorship Identification Rules and Embedded Advertising,* MB
Docket No. 08-90.

The fundamental premise of our sponsorship identification rules is that
the American public is entitled to know who is trying to persuade them.
That premise applies to a wide range of conduct, from payola to
political advertising to product placement. This rulemaking is intended
to determine whether our sponsorship identification rules need updating
in order to provide adequate notice of certain types of "embedded"
advertising practices that have proliferated in recent years.

It is difficult to watch television and not be struck by the amount of
product placement. According to press reports, product placement on
broadcast TV during the first quarter of 2008 was up almost 40% from the
previous year---including a whopping 3,291 product placements on
top-rated *American Idol* alone. Concerns have also been raised about
the growth of "product integration," in which, unlike product placement,
the commercial product is not shown but is woven into the plot of a
storyline or script. These kinds of stealth advertising may be
particularly insidious because viewers often are unaware that someone is
trying to influence, persuade, or market to them.

Whether these embedded advertising techniques have proliferated because
DVR households fast-forward through commercials or for other reasons, it
is the Commission's job to make sure that sponsored programming is
properly identified. I agree with the recent filing by a group of 23
public health, media and child advocacy groups that all of these issues
could have been addressed---and should have been addressed---in a
*Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM)*. Unfortunately, that position did
not command a majority at the Commission. In the end, I supported the
proposal to split the docket into an *NPRM* and a *Notice of Inquiry
(NOI)*. While this means more time than I would like to reach final
rules in some areas, I believe it is important to initiate the public
dialogue and begin developing a detailed record. Moreover, the *NPRM*
section tees up certain key issues on which we can move directly to
rules---such as whether and how to make sponsorship identification more
obvious to consumers, and rules regarding embedded advertising in
children's programming.

On the latter point, it is my strong initial belief that embedded
advertising in children's programming is already prohibited because it
would run afoul of our existing requirement that there be adequate
separation between programming content and advertising. The Commission's
existing policies in this area---which also include a ban on
host-selling and tie-ins on children's programming---target those
practices that unfairly take advantage of the inability of children to
distinguish between programming and commercial content. I hope we can
move quickly to clarify our rules in this area as necessary and to take
any appropriate enforcement action.

USDA Rural Development Awards Richmond Over \$2.1 Million in Farm Bill
Funds for Water, Sewer and Storm Water Project**

RICHMOND, Minn., Sept. 15 -- Residents and businesses in the southern
part of Richmond soon will have access to city water, sewer and storm
water services. Other parts of the city will see some updates, too.

USDA Rural Development officials visited the Richmond Civic Arena today
to award over \$2.1 million to finance the extension of water, sewer and
storm water services to the southern part of the city. Undersized sewer
and water mains on a few other city streets will be replaced as well.

"The funding for this important project comes from the 2008 Farm Bill,"
said Steve Wenzel, State Director of Rural Development in Minnesota.
"The USDA is working hard to implement the new Farm Bill in a timely
manner and deliver these key projects to our rural communities."

A special provision in the 2008 Farm Bill funded backlog water and
wastewater treatment projects in rural communities. Richmond was one of
six communities in Minnesota to receive over \$14 million in loans and
grants for upgraded systems in projects announced by Agriculture
Secretary Ed Schafer on Aug. 15. Other communities included Jackson
County, Martin County, Ogilvie, Hoffman and the Lower Sioux American
Indian Community. Nationally, \$547 million was awarded for 232
projects.

"Getting this funding is a real testament to the effort everyone put
into securing this grant and low-interest loan," Richmond mayor Maxine
Weismann said.

USDA Rural Development has invested about \$4 billion throughout rural
Minnesota since 2001. In addition to basic infrastructure, Rural
Development finances housing, businesses, renewable energy, hospitals,
day cares and telecommunications. More information can be found at
[www.rurdev.usda.gov/mn](http://www.rurdev.usda.gov/mn), or by calling
the local office in Cambridge at (763) 689-3354, ext. 4.

Processing .abm Mineral Samples

This process assumes you already have an archival split and the sample
is oven-dried. It does not take into account pre-grinding splits needed,
other than for the archive and particle size analysis.

1)  WEIGH THE ANALYTICAL SAMPLE. Record anything of note (e.g., lots of
    roots)

2)  Make sure alumina block, ax-grinder, sieve, knife, etc. are clean.

3)  PASS THE SAMPLE THROUGH THE 2 MM SIEVE.

    a.  Chunks of soil need to be broken up. A general rule is that if
        dragging the ax-grinder over it can crush it, it is not a rock.

    b.  Weigh the portion of sample greater than 2 mm and place it into
        Whirl-Pak, noting on the label the sample name, that the bag
        contains material \> 2mm, and that it's been air-dried.

4)  IF NEEDED, REMOVE A SPLIT FOR PARTICLE SIZE (minimum of 10.1 grams).

    a.  Mix the sample well and split it.

    b.  Place this split into a Whirl-Pak, noting on the label the
        sample name, that the sample is for particle size analysis, and
        that it's been oven-dried.

    c.  If the sample is large, you can either take a duplicate particle
        size (need for 10% of samples) or minimize it, but be sure to
        mix it up well before you do.

5)  GRIND THE ENTIRE SAMPLE using the axe or the mortal and pestle. The
    entire sample must pass through the 60-mesh sieve.

6)  MIX THE SAMPLE (\~15 times), rolling it on weighing paper in way so
    that the soil tumbles around well.

7)  SPLIT IT IN HALF, by dividing the sample into ¼'s.

    a.  One set of opposite quarters will be put into the 'clean' sample
        vial, the other set into the 'general' sample vial. Each vial
        should be labeled with the sample name, the sample type (clean
        vs general), that its been oven-dried, the fact that \>2 mm
        material has been removed, and that it has been ground to
        60-mesh. Don't fill a vial more than ¾ full.

    b.  Discard any excess sample in the soil disposal pan.

    c.  If you don't have enough sample to fill both vials, fill the
        'clean' sample fuller than the 'general' sample. Reallocate
        sample by splitting a set of opposite halves a second time.

8)  Vacuum the area to get any loose dirt. Then use wipes and water to
    clean the block, mortal and pestle, and ax-grinder. If the block
    and/or ax are dirty enough so that wiping it down with water still
    leaves some residue, use the white sand and grind them clean. Brush
    clean the sieve and splitter, if used.

Re: Call Sign: E050264 File No.: SES-LIC-20050919-01276

Dear Rossa Isme:

On September 19, 2005, Alpha Broadcasting, Inc. (Alpha Broadcasting)
filed the above-captioned application for a Fixed Ku-Band
Transmit/Receive VSAT Network Earth Station. Pursuant to Section
25.112(a)(1) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. §25.112(a)(1), we
dismiss the application as defective without prejudice.

In the application, Alpha Broadcasting did not provide information in
response to items E28-E42 (Antenna Table), E43-E50 (Frequency Table) or
E51-E60 (Frequency Coordination Table) on Schedule B of FCC Form 312. In
addition, the radiation hazard study as described in question 28 of FCC
Form 312 was not included in your application. Consequently, your
application is incomplete.

In addition, in response to question 24 of Form 312, you indicate that,
in addition to Ku-band operations, you intend to operate in the
29.5-29.515 GHz band. However in Schedule B of your application, you
list AMC-16 at 118.75^o^ W.L. as the only Point of Communication.
AMC-16, however, is not authorized to operate in the 29.5-29.515 GHz
band at 118.75^o^ W.L. nor has its operator applied to do so. Therefore,
the portion of your application relating to AMC-16 at 118.75^o^ W.L. in
the 29.5-29.515 GHz band is premature and any refiling should correct
this defect. Furthermore, Section 25.115(e) of the Commission's rules,
47 C.F.R. §25.115(e), provides that "\[A\]pplications to license
individual earth stations operating in the 20/30 GHz band shall be filed
on FCC Form 312, Main Form and Schedule B, and shall also include the
information described in Section 25.138." Therefore, any refiling
involving the 29.5-29.515 GHz band must also include the radiation
patterns required by Section 25.138(d).

In addition, we take the opportunity to apprise you of other concerns we
have should Alpha Broadcasting choose to re-file the application. In
question 20 of Form 312 (Nature of Service), you selected Mobile
Satellite. The Mobile Satellite Service refers to earth stations that
are transmitting or receiving while in motion. Ku-band VSAT earth
stations can only operate as fixed or temporary-fixed, not mobile, earth
stations. In refiling your application, we request you clarify the
service you intend to provide using this earth station.

Accordingly, pursuant to Section 25.112(a)(1) of the Commission's rules,
47 C.F.R. §25.112(a) (1), and Section 0.261 of the Commission's rules on
delegations of authority, 47 C.F.R. §0.261, we dismiss your application
without prejudice to refiling.[^1]

Sincerely,

Scott A. Kotler

Chief, Systems Analysis Branch

Satellite Division

International Bureau

[^1]: If Alpha Broadcasting, Inc. refiles an application identical to
    the one dismissed, with the exception of supplying the missing
    information, it need not pay an application fee. See 47 C.F.R.
    Section 1.1109(d).
**[Op-Ed: Reagan (The Hill)]{.underline} June 8, 2004**

Rep. John Kline (R-MN)

The life and legacy of Ronald Reagan so shifted the paradigm of the
American Presidency and the character of our nation that it becomes easy
to overlook some of the smaller, more personal changes he brought to his
office. As an aide to the former President, I had the unique opportunity
to be part of one such change -- albeit in a way that has proved to be a
bit embarrassing.

President Reagan had a great respect for the office of the Presidency
and his role as Commander-in-Chief. It has not always been the practice
of the American President to return the salutes of the uniformed service
members who served him. Shortly after being elected, however, President
Reagan expressed his desire to do just that. As President Reagan's
military aide, I advised him that according to protocol, the President
did *not* return military salutes. The President reluctantly accepted
this advice and proceeded in the tradition of his predecessors.

Never one to be dissuaded from his mission, however, President Reagan
again brought up this desire with the Commandant of the Marine Corps,
General Barrow. President Reagan explained to the General how grateful
he was for the service of the young men and women of the uniformed
services who accompanied him. He elaborated, explaining how it "broke
his heart" that he was not able to return their sharp salutes.

As I listened from my position in the room at the Commandant's home, his
sincerity made me regret that I had denied the President of the United
States -- the leader of the free world -- the opportunity to demonstrate
his respect for the men and women serving in uniform. I had the definite
feeling that I was about to be overruled.

Indeed, General Barrow responded by stating that as Commander-in-Chief
of the United States Armed Forces, President Reagan was entitled to
offer a salute -- or any sign of respect he wished -- to anyone he
wished.

The President accepted this news with a huge smile, and turned, beaming
to me -- as if to say "I knew it." And that evening at the Marine Corps
parade, President Ronald Reagan began the proud tradition of returning
the military salute. Every president since has followed his example.

For the immeasurable contribution of Ronald Wilson Reagan to the office
of the Presidency -- and to our great nation -- we all owe a debt of
gratitude. Thank you, Mr. President. On behalf of all the men and women
who served our nation under your Presidency -- and those inspired by you
who serve today -- I salute you, sir.

**Event:** A Remembrance Ceremony to be observed by schools prior to
Memorial Day sponsored by the *White House Commission on the National
Moment of Remembrance*.

**Purpose:** To inform students across the country of the *National
Moment of Remembrance* and the importance of honoring those who died for
their freedom and encourage the participation of students and their
families in this act of national unity at 3 p.m. on Memorial Day.

**When:** Before Memorial Day, at a time designated by the school.

**Duration:** Ten minutes

**Place:** Either: individual classroom, school auditorium or at
school's flagpole.

**SCRIPT**

**READER 1:** For 136 years, our Nation has observed a day to honor
those who died for our freedom. It is called Memorial Day and this year
it is on Monday, May 31. Most of us think of Memorial Day as a day of
swimming and barbeques, but it's much more important than that. The
purpose of the original "Decoration Day," as it was called in 1868, was
to decorate the graves of the men who died during the Civil War. The
tradition has been carried through all the wars since.

> Today, we have a reminder of why Memorial Day is so important. Many of
> us heard that Pat Tillman died late last month. Corporal Tillman's
> story is just one that should make us think. Pat was a pro-football
> player with a multi-million dollar contract. He gave it up to join the
> Army to serve his country. Once in the Army, Tillman trained for and
> became a Ranger, one of the most dangerous Army jobs.
>
> On April 24, Pat Tillman gave his life in Afghanistan defending us
> from terrorism. He was killed in action and became a national hero.
> The truth is, he was a hero before he was killed, just as all who
> fight for us are heroes. They give their lives so that we can enjoy
> the pool and barbeque and all the other things that we love.
>
> Please pause for a moment on Memorial Day at 3 p.m. to remember our
> heroes.

**READER 2:** The casualties of war are not only those who died in
battle but also the families they left behind. President Abraham
Lincoln, our 16^th^ President, wrote of "...the solemn pride that must
be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of freedom,"
in a letter during the Civil War to a mother who lost five sons.

**READER 3:** And now we are proud to begin our Roll Call of
Remembrance, which pays tribute to all those who died in our wars,
conflicts and incidents.

With honor and pride, we remember those who died in the:

Revolutionary War

War of 1812

Mexican War

Civil War

Spanish-American War

World War I

World War II

Korean War

Vietnam War

Gulf War

Conflicts and Incidents

Peacekeeping Missions

War on Terrorism

**READER 4:** On Memorial Day, for the *National Moment of Remembrance*,
wherever you are, at 3 p.m., stop whatever you are doing. Place your
hand over your heart, as a gesture of gratitude and respect, and
remember those men and women who died for us.

**§3.108 State Department as agent of Department of Veterans Affairs.**

Diplomatic and consular officers of the Department of State are
authorized to act as agents of the Department of Veterans Affairs and
therefore a formal or informal claim or evidence submitted in support of
a claim filed in a foreign country will be considered as filed in the
Department of Veterans Affairs as of the date of receipt by the State
Department representative.

\[26 FR 1569, Feb. 24, 1961\]

**Cross reference:** Evidence from foreign countries. See §3.202.

**§3.109 Time limit.**

\(a\) *Notice of time limit for filing evidence*.

\(1\) If a claimant's application is incomplete, the claimant will be
notified of the evidence necessary to complete the application. If the
evidence is not received within 1 year from the date of such
notification, pension, compensation, or dependency and indemnity
compensation may not be paid by reason of that application (38 U.S.C.
5103(a)). Information concerning the whereabouts of a person who has
filed claim is not considered evidence.

\(2\) The provisions of this paragraph are applicable to original
applications, formal or informal, and to applications for increased
benefits by reason of increased disability, age, or the existence of a
dependent and to applications for reopening or resumption of payments.
If substantiating evidence is required with respect to the veracity of a
witness or the authenticity of documentary evidence timely filed, there
will be allowed for the submission of such evidence 1 year from the date
of the request therefor. However, any evidence to enlarge the proofs and
evidence originally submitted is not so included.

\(b\) *Extension of time limit*. Time limits within which claimants or
beneficiaries are required to act to perfect a claim or challenge an
adverse VA decision may be extended for good cause shown. Where an
extension is requested after expiration of a time limit, the action
required of the claimant or beneficiary must be taken concurrent with or
prior to the filing of a request for extension of the time limit, and
good cause must be shown as to why the required action could not have
been taken during the original time period and could not have been taken
sooner than it was. Denials of time limit extensions are separately
appealable issues. (Authority: 38 U.S.C. 501(a))

**Release Date:** June 18, 2007 **Contact:** Michael Lampton

**Release Number:** 07-476, IN 10642/10643 **Phone:** 404-347-3771

**SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS STILL HAVE TIME TO APPLY**

SBA ECONOMIC INJURY DISASTER LOAN DEADLINE IS JULY 16

**NEW ALBANY, Ind. -** The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is
reminding businesses in declared Clark and Floyd counties and the
contiguous counties of Harrison, Jefferson, Scott and Washington in the
state of Indiana and contiguous counties of Jefferson, Oldham and
Trimble in the Commonwealth of Kentucky that Economic Injury Disaster
Loans (EIDLs) are still available to small businesses that were
economically impacted by severe storms and flooding that occurred on
September 22 - 23, 2006.

"Small businesses that suffered economic injury losses as a result of
the disaster and want to apply for a low-interest loan from the SBA are
urged to do so before the **July 16, 2007** deadline," said Frank
Skaggs, Director of SBA Field Operations Center East**.**

Small businesses may apply for a loan up to \$l.5 million if they
suffered substantial economic injury from the disaster. These working
capital loans may be used to pay fixed debts, payroll, accounts payable,
and other bills that could have been paid had the disaster not occurred.
These loans are not intended to replace lost sales or profits.

The interest rate on these loans is 4.000 percent, with a maximum term
of 30 years. The SBA determines the amount of economic injury, the terms
of each loan and the payment amount, based on the financial
circumstances of each borrower.

To obtain a loan application, interested business owners should contact
SBA's Customer Service Center by calling 1-800-659-2955 (1-800-877-8339
for the hearing-impaired) Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. until 9
p.m.; Saturday 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. EDT. Business disaster loan
applications can also be downloaded from the SBA's website at
[*www.sba.gov/services/disasterassistance*](http://www.sba.gov/services/disasterassistance).
Completed applications should be mailed to: U.S. Small Business
Administration, Processing and Disbursement Center, 14925 Kingsport
Road, Fort Worth, TX 76155.

**The filing deadline for economic injury loan applications is [July 16,
2007.]{.underline}**

height="3.4444444444444446in"}

**BATH, February 14, 2006-** It was a very special Valentine's Day for
two couples celebrating their love for one another. At a luncheon held
at Oak Ridge Apartments in Bath, about 25 people, consisting of
residents, congressional staff, city officials, and USDA Rural
Development staff, were on hand to bestow the title of "Longest Married
Couple at Oak Ridge Apartments" on Sharon and Richard Gibbs.

Married 34 years, the Gibbes still glow as they talk about how they
first met and shared secrets to their successful union. "Work together
through the hard times, and don't give up when things get tough," says
Sharon. The couple has been living at Oak Ridge over a year and say they
enjoy the friendly atmosphere and pleasant surroundings.

Congratulatory letters from the Offices of Senator Olympia Snowe,
Senator Susan Collins, and Congressman Tom Allen were read to the
couple, as well as a plaque commemorating them on a lifetime together.
Frank and Ada Melville were also recognized for their 28-year union.
USDA Rural Development Area Specialist Roderick Elliott presented each
couple with a bouquet of bright flowers.

USDA Rural Development funded the 30-unit elderly complex in 1990
through the Multi-family Housing Programs. Oak Ridge Apartments has full
Rental Assistance, making it an affordable and enjoyable place to call
home.

To Whom it may concern:

In August, 2002 my husband and I adopted two siblings from Turawa,
Poland, six and seven years old, thru Adoption Associates, in Farmington
Hills, Michigan.  We were required to take two trips to Poland and spent
2 weeks the first trip and 1 week the second trip.  We had asked many
questions regarding their health and previous medical conditions to the
orphanage director as well as the adoption center and were told they
sometimes wet the bed at night.  Upon picking them up from the airport
in Warsaw, our older son, had immediate issues.  After returning to the
US, we assumed his condition was physical and had taken him to many,
many medical professionals of whom all agreed his condition was mental. 
We had continued his treatment with mental health therapists who
specialize in this field.  After attacking several children at school
and rubbing his feces throughout the school, he was admitted for his
first stay at Havenwyck Institution and is now back at the institution
for the last 4 months.  After begging the Adoption Agency for months, we
finally received an email that stated he was hospitalized and
institutionalized in Poland with the same issues.  Nothing had been
disclosed at the time of the adoption and the adoption center would not
release any further information once we arrived back in the U.S.  This
child had been sexually abusing his younger brother, attacking other
children at school and using his feces and urine to punish everyone
around him.  After attacking a child at the YMCA Day Camp, we were
potentially facing criminal charges.  The cost of the insitution in the
US is \$1,000 per day and we have expired our lifetime benefits for him
with both of our companies.   We are unable to take him home as he is
far too dangerous to do so.  Now additional charges have been filed
against us by the Family Independent Agency and are now part of a
National Registry as never being able to adopt or foster.  While going
through the Adoption process we had to have full disclosure on every
part of our lives.  Even veterinary records from our pets. Yet, these
countries are not required to do the same with full disclosure on the
children they are placing to caring families in the US?  We have
virtually spent our life savings to help these children and we continue
to be attacked by the Family Independence Agency and Child Protective
Services.  After our situation, the Adoption Agency has since dropped
their Poland program but has wanted to wash their hands of any
assistance.  A year ago, we thought we were rescuing two children and
now we need to be rescued!
