Legal Opinion: GCH-0082

Index: 2.300, 2.375, 2.296

Subject: Section 5(h) Homeownership Program

April 16, 1993

MEMORANDUM FOR: Dom Nessi, Office of Indian Housing, PI

FROM: Robert S. Kenison, Associate General Counsel

Office of Assisted Housing and Community Development, GCH

SUBJECT: Request for Legal Opinion - 24 CFR 905 Subpart P - Section 5(h)

Homeownership Program

This is in response to your January 11, 1993, memorandum concerning the

24 CFR Part 905, Subpart P - Section 5(h) Homeownership Program.

Specifically, you raised several issues concerning subpart P and its

applicability to the Mutual Help (MH) and Turnkey III (TKY III)
Homeownership

programs. Subpart P codifies the provisions of the Section 5(h)
homeownership

program for Indian housing. Please excuse the delay in our response.

Section 905.1002 states that subpart P \"applies to low-income housing

owned by Indian Housing Authorities (IHAs) subject to Annual
Contributions

Contracts (ACCs) under the \[United States Housing Act of 1937\] (the
Act).\" MH

and TKY III units are low-income housing owned by IHAs and subject an
ACC

under the Act. There is no statutory prohibition to applying the
requirements

of the 5(h) program to MH and TKY III units. However, MH and TKY III
units

are not subject to the requirements of subpart P. Specifically, section

905.1006 - Property that may be sold - provides that a homeownership
plan may

\"provide for conversion of existing rental housing to homeownership or
for

homeownership sale of newly-developed housing.\" In this context it is
our

opinion that TKY III and MH units are not \"rental units\" and therefore
are not

eligible for sale under a 5(h) plan.

Until there is the necessary regulatory change, requests to apply the

requirements of subpart P to MH and TKY III units would require a waiver
of

section 905.1006. We note that the Public Housing Division is currently

considering a change to Part 904 to allow the application of 5(h) to TKY
III

public housing units.

If a regulatory waiver is granted, or if section 905.1006 is amended, an

IHA would be required to replace MH and TKY II I units disposed of under
the

5(h) program in accordance with section 905.1016. MH and TKY III

homeownership agreements would continue in force until the consummation
of the

5(h) sale, at which time they would be terminated by mutual agreement of
the

parties.

You should note that before a MH or TKY III unit could be sold under the

section 5(h) program, the homebuyer would have to agree in writing to
rescind

his or her MH or TKY III Homebuyer Agreement and to purchase the unit
under

the 5(h) program.
**Court Orders Authorizing Disclosures and Use**

**§1.490 Legal effect of order.**

The records to which §§1.460 through 1.499 of this part apply may be
disclosed if authorized by an appropriate order of a court of competent
jurisdiction granted after application showing good cause therefore. In
assessing good cause the court is statutorily required to weigh the
public interest and the need for disclosure against the injury to the
patient or subject, to the physician-patient relationship, and to the
treatment services. Upon the granting of such order, the court, in
determining the extent to which any disclosure of all or any part of any
record is necessary, is required by statute to impose appropriate
safeguards against unauthorized disclosure. An order of a court of
competent jurisdiction to produce records subject to §§1.460 through
1.499 of this part will not be sufficient unless the order reflects that
the court has complied with the requirements of 38 U.S.C. 7332(b)(2)(D).
Such an order from a Federal court compels disclosure. However, such an
order from a State court only acts to authorize the Secretary to
exercise discretion pursuant to 38 U.S.C. 5701(b)(5) and 38 CFR 1.511 to
disclose such records. It does not compel disclosure. (Authority: 38
U.S.C. 7332(b)(2)(D))

**§1.491 Confidential communications.**

\(a\) A court order under §§1.490 through 1.499 of this part may
authorize disclosure of confidential communications made by a patient to
a treatment program in the course of diagnosis, treatment, or referral
for treatment only if:

\(1\) The disclosure is necessary to protect against an existing threat
to life or of serious bodily injury, including circumstances which
constitute suspected child abuse and neglect and verbal threats against
third parties;

\(2\) The disclosure is necessary in connection with investigation or
prosecution of an extremely serious crime, such as one which directly
threatens loss of life or serious bodily injury, including homicide,
rape, kidnapping, armed robbery, assault with a deadly weapon, or child
abuse and neglect; or

\(3\) The disclosure is in connection with litigation or an
administrative proceeding in which the patient offers testimony or other
evidence pertaining to the content of the confidential communications.
(Authority: 38 U.S.C. 7334)

**Abstract**

Evaluations of the effectiveness of agricultural land-use management
practices in improving water quality can be misleading because
environmental indicators respond to changes at multiple scales. This
study will evaluate the response of a set of environmental
indicators\--biotic communities at multiple trophic levels (algae,
invertebrates, and fish)\--to physical and chemical environmental
characteristics at the reach and watershed scale (Midwest agricultural
setting). The 86 sites selected for study are in predominantly
agricultural basins (cropland and pasture, median land cover = 86%) and
were sampled for biological community data as part of the U.S.
Geological Survey National Water-Quality Assessment Program.

Community taxonomic data and metrics were assessed to determine which
aspects of the communities were most responsive to riparian and
in-stream habitat characteristics at the reach and watershed scale.
Land-cover Digital Ortho Quarter Quads were used for analyses of
riparian conditions at the reach and segment scales. For a subset of
sites hydrologic variability representing five components of streamflow
(timing, magnitude, duration, frequency, rate of change) was calculated
from historical records of daily mean discharge over the period of
gaging-station record as well as from 1, 2, and 3 years preceding the
collection of biological data. Nutrient, pesticide, and common-ion data
also are being examined for this subset. Results of analyses within-site
temporal variability from multiple years of data will be used to
determine which characteristics are most stable from year to year. For
example, the measure of 'Richness of tolerant invertebrate taxa' had the
lowest median coefficient of variation (0.04) among all the invertebrate
metrics evaluated. The ability to identify the most stable biological
characteristics as well as the scale at which the algal, invertebrate,
and fish communities show the strongest responses should help focus
efforts to manage key environmental variables to best protect aquatic
communities.

## ECONOMIC FREEDOM

Maintaining the integrity of the Panama Canal Watershed (PCW) is
critical to world trade, U.S. national security, and the Panamanian
economy. Equally important, is a more democratic and prosperous Panama,
sharing the benefits of trade-led growth broadly among its citizens
since it will fortify political stability in the region, and ensure the
uninterrupted flow of international commerce through the Canal. A key
challenge facing the Government of Panama is to promote economic freedom
and help the private sector increase its productivity and
competitiveness to take advantage of global trade opportunities. USAID
supports biodiversity conservation and protection in the PCW through
programs that encourage best natural resource management practices,
policy reforms and adoption, and the active participation and
empowerment of stakeholders. USAID is forging public-private
partnerships to help identify constraints and opportunities to improve
rural and global competitiveness working with small and medium
enterprises. Resource leveraging through strategic alliances and
nontraditional partnerships have become a mainstay of our program.

USAID works closely with the Panama Canal Authority, the
Inter-institutional Commission for the Panama Canal Watershed, the
National Environmental Authority, communities, local authorities and
nongovernmental organizations to develop and implement strategic
partnerships and alliances, participatory methodologies, best practices,
and appropriate policies and regulations for optimal stewardship of the
natural resources within this critical watershed.

## rULING JUSTLY

Panama's fourth democratically elected president completed his first
full year in office, with the country enjoying 16 consecutive years of
political stability. The current GOP administration has expressed its
commitment to fight corruption and is taking important steps to combat
it. Yet, lack of transparency and inconsistencies in applying the rule
of law continue to thwart domestic and foreign investment flows. USAID
assistance contributes to the effort aimed at improving transparency and
accountability in government. We support seminal activities by the
Citizens' Alliance for Justice Reform---a coalition of 15 civil society
organizations, that advocates for critical judicial reforms and improved
governance. In addition, we work with civil society and at the grass
roots level to strengthen advocacy and oversight capabilities to
galvanize public support for fundamental reforms.

## Community Strengthening

In the remote and relatively underserved Darien region, bordering
Columbia, USAID has helped empower more than 55 communities, raise
household incomes, improve access to social and productive
infrastructure and essential services, and legitimize the presence of
local authority. USAID assistance has helped mitigate potential border
conflict in this unsettled region.

Re: Call Sign E960068

File No. SES-MOD-20070319-00371

Dear Mr. Herman:

On March 19, 2007, TowerStream Corp. (TowerStream) filed the
above-captioned application to modify its license for earth station
E960068 located in Medley, Florida. In this application, TowerStream
seeks authority to provide terrestrial broadband service in the
3650-3700 MHz band under its satellite license. Pursuant to Section
25.112(a)(2) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. §25.112(a)(2), we
dismiss the application as improperly filed.

TowerStream's earth station license authorizes it to provide
fixed-satellite service by accessing Intelsat and Solidaridad
satellites. It also authorizes the earth station to transmit in the
5850-6425 MHz band (Earth-to-space) and receive in the 3625-4200 MHz
band (space-to-Earth).[^1] In its modification application, TowerStream
seeks authority to use the earth station to transmit to terrestrial
users in the 3650-3700 MHz band. An earth station, by definition in the
Commission's rules, is a station located on the Earth's surface that
communicates with one or more space stations or other objects in space,
47 C.F.R. §25.201. Thus, TowerStream cannot transit a terrestrial
service under the scope of an earth station license. Rather, if it
wishes to use a communications facility to provide terrestrial service,
TowerStream must file an application for a terrestrial license through
the Commission's Wireless Telecommunications Bureau's Universal
Licensing System (ULS). Accordingly, we dismiss TowerStream's earth
station modification application as defective pursuant to Section
25.112(a)(2) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. §25.112(a)(2).

In addition, Section 25.161(c) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R.
§25.161(c), specifies that an earth station license shall be
automatically terminated if the licensee removes or modifies the
facility such that the station is not operational for more than 90 days,
unless specific authority is requested. In light of TowerStream's plans
to provide terrestrial, rather than satellite services, TowerStream must
notify the Commission the earth station's operating status in the
3625-3650, 3650-3700, 3700-4200, 5850-5925, and 5925-6425 MHz bands.
TowerStream should provide this information within 30 calendar days of
the date of this letter. If it fails to do so, we will consider taking
appropriate action with respect to the earth station, including
terminating the license.

Accordingly, pursuant to Section 25.112(a)(2) of the Commission's rules,
47 C.F.R. §25.112(a)(2), and Section 0.261 of the Commission's rules on
delegations of authority, 47 C.F.R. §0.261, we dismiss the
above-captioned application.

**FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:**

**REMINDER TO SMALL BUSINESSES: SBA'S OFFICE OF THE NATIONAL OMBUDSMAN
IS AVAILABLE TO ASSIST WITH FEDERAL ENFORCEMENT MATTERS**

Washington, DC \-- The FCC wishes to remind small entities that the
Office of the National Ombudsman, within the U.S. Small Business
Administration, is available to assist small entities with federal
agency enforcement and compliance matters. Created by the Small Business
Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 (SBREFA),[^1] the
Ombudsman's Office and ten regional Small Business Regulatory Fairness
Boards ("RegFair Boards") facilitate meaningful dialogue between the
agencies and small entities.

One avenue for assistance is the Ombudsman's written comment procedure.
Using a one-page Federal Agency Appraisal Form, a small business may
submit to the Ombudsman's Office any complaints, suggestions, or
compliments concerning a federal agency's enforcement action. The
Ombudsman then forwards this form, along with any additional
documentation, to the agency for review. You may obtain additional
information on this process, as well as on the RegFair hearing process,
by contacting the Ombudsman's Office at the numbers given below.

The FCC also notes that small businesses may request expedited treatment
of an enforcement action against them where they believe that delay may
threaten the economic viability of the business.

Last, the Ombudsman's Office has asked all agencies to make clear that,
if a small entity requests Ombudsman assistance on a matter, the agency
will not retaliate in response. The FCC is pleased to make this point
clear, as we welcome the sort of constructive comment that can result
from coordination among the FCC, the Ombudsman's Office, and small
entities.

For further information concerning the written comment procedure for
small businesses, contact Eric Malinen of the Office of Communications
Business Opportunities, (202) 418-0995, <emalinen@fcc.gov>. For
information on expediting the treatment of a specific small business
enforcement matter, contact Suzanne M. Tetreault of the Enforcement
Bureau, (202) 418-1769, [stetreau@fcc.gov](mailto:stetreau@fcc.gov;).

Re: Allotment of Space in Federal Buildings.

Dear Ms. Beccles:

You have asked if the 95% condition for the allotment of space to credit
unions in federal buildings is applied to the credit union's total
membership or only the number of members who actually use the allotted
space. The 95% is applied to the number of members who actually use the
allotted space.

Under the Federal Credit Union Act, a federal agency may allot building
space to a credit union at no charge for rent or services if "at least
95 percent of the membership of the credit union to be served by the
allotment of space" are, or were at the time of admission to membership,
federal employees or their family members. 12 U.S.C. §1770. This
language was enacted in 1993 and amended previous language requiring at
least 95 percent of a credit union's membership be composed of federal
employees and their family members. National Defense Authorization Act
for Fiscal year 1994, Pub. L. No. 103-160, §2854 (1993) (codified as
amended at 12 U.S.C. §1770). The 95% requirement applies to those who
would be served by the allotment of space.

**Congressman Franks Rebukes the Notion of Moral Equivalence between
Israel and Hezbollah**

**Expressing the Reality of Terrorism**

August 3, 2006---Congressman Trent Franks (AZ-02), a founder of the
Congressional Israel Allies Caucus, rebuked Democratic Congressman
Dingell for his comments made during an interview on Sunday. Mr. Dingell
asserted, "I don't take sides for or against Hezbollah or for or against
Israel," when he was asked about the conflict between the nation of
Israel and the terrorist group, which is sponsored by Iran and Syria.

Franks responded, **"Hezbollah's ideology and practice is decapitating
humanitarians with hacksaws on television while they scream for mercy,
cowardly hiding behind women and children while launching rockets
deliberately targeting innocent civilians, continually breaking treaties
of peace, and forcing children to blow themselves to pieces to effect
the murder of other innocents.  Conversely, Israel\'s ideology and
practice is decades of peace efforts, defending innocent life, and
respecting every gender, race, and creed. Mr. Dingell\'s recent comment
suggesting moral equivalence between these two polar opposite ideologies
simply beggars description. The mindless moral relativism that
deliberately ignores all truth and equates the merciless terrorism of
Hezbollah with free nations defending themselves and their innocent
citizens, is more dangerous to humanity than terrorism itself.**

**"Brutally torturing and murdering innocent human beings for the
express purpose of striking terror in the hearts of your fellow human
beings is bad. Protecting the life, liberty and pursuit of happiness of
your fellow citizens is good.  If freedom in the world is to survive,
free people all over the world must throw off this nearly invincible
ignorance and moral cowardice and face terrorism for the evil that it
is."**

Subject: Enough is Enough

The current, biased, tax laws as they are now, essentially boil down to
taxation without representation, taxation above and beyond our, (both
individually and collectively), \"fair share\".

We are constantly paying taxes to fund programs that do not benefit the
GLBT community in any way shape of form. It strikes to the core of
exactly what the GLBT community is \"fighting\" for each and every time
I pay taxes supporting a program that neither I nor my Partner will ever
benefit from simply because we are gay and committed to one another.

NOBODY, especially fundamentalist, right wing, religious and political
zealots will ever dictate to me the affairs of my heart. And simply
because my views, ideals, principals, wants and needs in life and from
my Government differ from anothers does not in any way shape of form
grant the opposing view the right to reduce me to a second class
citizen.

The Constitutions provides that one must pay their fair share of taxes.
In return we are granted representation in the operating of OUR
Government. It seems to me that the Government has collected on their
end of the obligation but refuse to pay up on thier end.

For centuries the fundamentalist, right winged opposition has \"had
their way with us\" by forcing their agenda down societies throat as the
norm. Well with all due respect is time to remove the rose colored
glasses and take a good look at whom they are preaching to.

The nucular family no longer consists of the husband, wife, 2.5
children, the house with the white picket fence and a dog out front.

Perhaps our best recourse would be to throw the laws back at them, sort
of throwing the \'book\' at them. If the Constitutuion upholds the
principals of taxation with representation then it is time for the GLBT
community to start scaling back what we pay in taxes to match what our
Government provides us in the areas of Tax filing status, marriage
rights, joint property exemptions and so forth.

To borrow the lyrics from a song \"\...what about me I\'ve had enough, I
want my share\...\...\".

# PENCE CALLS VOLCKER REPORT ON U.N. \"TROUBLING\"

## Says Legislative Action Needed to Address Mounting U.N. Concerns

**Washington, D.C.-**Congressman Mike Pence, a member of the Oversight
Subcommittee of the House International Relations Committee that is
handling investigations into the U.N. Oil for Food scandal, issued the
following statement in the wake of a report released by the Independent
Inquiry Committee by Chairman Paul A. Volcker today.

\"The Volcker Report should be troubling to every American taxpayer as
it points to mounting evidence that the purpose, principles and ideals
of the United Nations may have been violated. Mismanagement by senior
officials at the United Nations pulls at the fraying fabric of
credibility upon which this world body rests and must be addressed,\"
said Pence.

Pence also commended House International Relations Committee Chairman
Henry Hyde for moving forward with legislation intended to accelerate
action on United Nations reform proposals.

\"The United States is the largest financial contributor to the United
Nations. The concerns of millions of Americans must not be ignored.
Congress should move forward with amendments to the Foreign Relations
Authorization Act authored by Chairman Hyde in order to accelerate the
reform process at the United Nations,\" said Pence.

Chairman Hyde plans to include reform provisions in the Foreign
Relations Authorization Act. The authorization act, which funds
operations of the U.S. Department of State and U.S. contributions to
international organizations, is scheduled for markup in the committee in
late May or early June.

*Pence recently returned from New York City where he, along with other
Oversight Subcommittee members, met with U.N. officials.*
