SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background: Satellite/Internet 

broadcasting is defined as training/ 

education transpiring between trainers 

and facilitators at one location and 

participants/students at other locations 

via technology. NIC uses satellite 

broadcasting and the Internet 

economically to reach a larger and 

broader audience from federal, state, 

and local criminal justice agencies, as 

well as new partners and vested 

stakeholders who have a common 

interest in and/or contact with offender 

populations. Many of these audiences 

were previously hard to reach using 

traditional modes of training. 

Additionally, NIC, as a leader in 

correctional learning, continually seeks 

to use and integrate various forms of 

visual technology to support and 

enhance learning within its full 

continuum of training delivery 

strategies. 

Purpose: The purpose of funding this 

initiative is to produce seven live 

satellite/Internet broadcasts, 

disseminating current and emergent 

information to the criminal justice 

community. Each of these broadcasts 

will be 3 hours long. Additionally, as 

part of this award, twelve to fifteen 

stand-alone video vignettes will be 

produced to support the content of the 

live broadcasts or other NIC curriculum 

development projects. It is estimated 

that each of these video vignettes will be 

3 to 5 minutes long. 

Scope of Work: To address the scope 

of work for this project, the following 

will be needed: 

Producer Consultation and Creative 

Services: The producer for this project 

plays a key role in managing the project, 

but he/she must also possess a wide 

range of technical experience, including 

script writing, in the development and 

delivery of video broadcasts. The 

producer will (1) consult and 

collaborate with NIC’s distance learning 

administrator (DLA) on program design, 

program coordination, design and field 

segments, and content development and 

(2) participate in/coordinate all 

planning meetings and planning 

activities that support each broadcast. A 

minimum of one face-to-face planning 

session will be held for each broadcast. 

Planning sessions typically last 2 days 

and are convened in the NIC Aurora 

office or at the Washington, DC 

headquarters. 

The producer must plan all other 

activities through telephone and various 

virtual online platforms (e.g., WebEx) 

and consult and collaborate with NIC’s 

DLA in the selection of talent for each 

broadcast. This will entail review of 

written and video materials, as well as 

phone conversations with potential 

talent. Face-to-face interviews typically 

will not be required. 

The producer must work with each 

consultant/trainer to develop his/her 

content for delivery using the satellite/ 

Internet format. This will entail regular 

e-mail and telephone communication as 

well as regularly scheduled updates 

with key stakeholders on the broadcast 

team. 

The producer will serve as the 

coordinator of script development, 

graphic design, production elements, 

and rehearsals for each broadcast and 

use his/her professional expertise in 

designing creative ways to deliver 

satellite/Internet broadcasts. 

The producer will develop detailed 

storyboards for each broadcast. 

Significant contribution to the 

development of the storyboard will 

come from designated content experts, 

the talent selected to appear in the 

broadcast, and NIC’s DLA. NIC’s DLA 

maintains final approval of all 

storyboards, video, and other materials 

produced or used in any broadcast. 

The producer will supervise camera 

and audio crews assigned to capture 

testimonial footage from leaders in the 

criminal justice field, who answer 

questions and provide general comment 

on an array of correctional topics. There 

will be three to four of these sessions 

during this agreement. Each shoot will 

entail 1- to 2-day video shoots at 

national correctional conferences where 

appropriate talent/audiences will be 

convening. 

Content Development Process: Having 

both quality content development and 

innovative and engaging content 

delivery are critical components of 

successful live broadcasts. Therefore, 

the content development process, as 

part of the storyboard development for 

each broadcast, must be carefully 

developed. The following process 

outlines the necessary steps the 

producer must take to ensure that the 

content of each broadcast is informative, 

innovative, and engaging. While each 

broadcast must be treated as a unique 

product, it is expected that the 

following processes will be followed. If 

adjustments or modifications need to be 

made to the process to meet the unique 

needs or circumstances of any of the 

broadcasts, approval of the DLA is 

required. 

STEP ONE: Convene a planning 

meeting with an NIC representative and 

four to five other stakeholders vested in 

the topic being developed. Attendees 

are told they are helping develop ideas 

for a broadcast on a specific topic. 

Participation in the planning meeting 

does not necessarily mean that 

participants will be used as talent 

during the live broadcast. Note: The 

exception may be if some of the 

attendees have been specifically 

determined by NIC to be critical to the 

broadcast because of their specific 

expertise or background. 

NIC’s DLA will lead meetings with 

the broadcast host(s) and video 

producer in attendance. The meeting 

will (1) set learning objectives, (2) 

develop a theme, metaphor, or other 

creative hook that will set a context for 


jlentini on DSKJ8SOYB1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 224 / Monday, November 22, 2010 / Notices 71149 

the broadcast (The hook will support 

the content of the broadcast and will 

assist in determining the creative 

approaches through which that content 

can be delivered in a live broadcast.), (3) 

develop a rough outline of key content 

for each broadcast segment, using 

content learning objectives as a 

guideline, (4) generate a list of resources 

(videos, photos, etc.) that could support 

the segment, and (5) discreetly 

determine which experts might be good 

on camera and involved in the future 

development process. 

STEP TWO: Cast the program after the 

meeting is complete. The producer, 

host(s), and DLA will meet with 

appropriate NIC staff soon following the 

planning meeting—the next day is 

preferred. Together, the meeting 

participants will (1) determine a list of 

presenters for the program, (2) 

determine the fields that the presenters 

should come from and what casting 

types are needed to cover each segment 

or content type, (3) create a cast list, (4) 

set deadlines for pre-interviewing and 

recruiting those available on the 

scheduled dates for the rehearsal and 

broadcast (Note: selected talent must be 

available for both the rehearsal day and 

the broadcast day in order to 

participate), (5) conduct pre-interviews 

to gather content and make suggestions 

for on-camera appearances, and (6) work 

with the DLA and appropriate NIC staff 

named as on-camera presenters and 

assign them to specific program 

segments. 

STEP THREE: Develop content for 

broadcast. 

The producer will schedule a call/ 

video conference with the producer, 

host(s), DLA, and each segment’s small 

group of presenters; review, revise, and 

annotate the broadcast outline; generate 

a further list of resources during the call 

(The producer may need two calls per 

segment, but the goal would be one.); 

and have the DLA sign off on 

broadcast’s content outline. 

STEP FOUR: Develop the broadcast 

programming. 

The producer, host(s), and/or DLA 

will (1) outline the program and its 

elements, including content questions 

(Most segments of each program will be 

designed so that a host(s) will facilitate 

each segment, rather than allowing 

small groups of practitioners to facilitate 

on their own.); (2) revise outlines and 

make initial testimonial selections, 

working from transcripts, acquired 

clips, and other source materials; (3) 

work with DLA to identify graphic/ 

visual needs and content; (4) work with 

production staff to compile support 

materials (making direct contact with 

prisons, jails, etc.); (5) work with 

production staff to develop all graphics 

and visuals for approval; (6) work with 

DLA to review and approve all materials 

and program development, including 

standardized intro and outro segments 

highlighting NIC and its graphic image. 

STEP FIVE: Prepare the broadcast. 

The awardee will book one 

preparation call with presenters the 

week before the cast and crew travel to 

the shoot location. The call will cover 

logistics and an overview of the agenda 

for the 2 days. On rehearsal day 

(typically, Tuesday morning), the 

producer will show all broadcast staff 

and talent the final video clips, 

graphics, and visuals, etc., and complete 

a technical run through of the program. 

The host(s) and producer will lead staff 

through the program outline. Note: If the 

schedule allows, it would be best to 

have 12 to 14 weeks between each 

planning meeting and the broadcast. 

This allows enough time to do a round 

of pre-interviews and make on-camera 

selections. Production schedules will 

overlap to fit all broadcasts within the 

award period. Planning sessions for 

back-to-back live events (a maximum of 

two at a time) may be desirous for a 

number of reasons. This planning model 

will be used as a pilot for two of the 

events set for this award. Depending on 

the pilot experiences, other events may 

also use this model. 

Pre-Production Video: The producer 

will supervise the production of 

vignettes to be used in each of the 

broadcasts, as well as the vignettes to be 

produced as stand-alone pieces to 

support other NIC curriculum projects. 

There will be twelve to fifteen of these 

vignettes in all. Content experts 

(typically, correctional professionals) 

will draft conceptual outlines of the 

scripts for each vignette. From these 

outlines, the producer (or a script 

writing expert) will develop scripts and 

have them approved by NIC’s DLA. 

Professional actors will play the parts 

designated by the script. Testimonial 

video footage must be captured well in 

advance of broadcast delivery dates to 

ensure ample time for considering the 

clips for inclusion in the storyboard of 

a broadcast and to allow sufficient time 

for editing. These video clips are used 

in the broadcasts to support the content 

delivery and to provide transitions/ 

bumps between segments/modules 

within the broadcast. 

Video Production: Video production 

for each of the broadcasts and each 

video vignette for stand-alone projects 

will consist of videotaping contentrelated events in the field, editing 

existing video, and videotaping experts 

for testimonial presentations. It will also 

include voiceover, audio, and music, if 

necessary, for each broadcast or 

vignette. Blank tapes and narration for 

field shooting will be purchased for 

each site. The format for all field 

shooting will be either Betacam, DVD 

Pro Digital, and/or Mini DVD. The 

awardee will develop a detailed 

storyboard for each broadcast. 

Significant contribution to the 

development of the storyboard will 

come from designated content experts, 

the talent selected to appear in the 

broadcasts, and NIC’s DLA. NIC’s DLA 

maintains final approval of all 

storyboards, video, and other materials 

used in any broadcast. Innovative and 

thought-provoking opening sequences 

will be produced for each broadcast. In 

addition, the broadcasts will use 

graphics to enhance viewer learning. 

The producer will coordinate art 

direction, lighting, set design, props, 

and furniture for all broadcast segments. 

Customized set design will be required 

for each broadcast. Each set should 

include signage, posters, props, and/or 

other visuals that clearly relate to the 

content of the broadcast. The producer 

will organize and supervise the 

complete production crew on rehearsal 

and production days. 

Production: The awardee’s production 

group will set up and maintain studio 

lighting, adjust audio, and have a 

complete production crew for the days 

and hours set by the DLA for each 

rehearsal and broadcast. The producer 

will coordinate art direction, lighting, 

set design, props, and furniture for all 

broadcast segments. Customized set 

design will be required for each 

broadcast. Each set should include 

signs, posters, props and/or other 

visuals that clearly relate to the content 

of the broadcast. The producer will 

organize and supervise the complete 

production crew on rehearsal and 

production days. A production crew 

shall include the following: Director, 

audio operator, video operator, 

character generator operator, floor 

director, four camera operators, 

teleprompter operator, online Internet 

coordinator, makeup artist (at 

production time only), and interactive 

assistance personnel (for fax, e-mail, 

and telephone communications). 

Post-Production: The producer also 

oversees the production and editing of 

a DVD of each broadcast for a final and 

approved cut by NIC’s DLA. Within one 

week after each broadcast, the awardee 

will provide to NIC’s DLA a live and 

active link to the archived version of the 

broadcast. Within sixty (60) days after 

each broadcast, the awardee will 

provide NIC’s DLA five master copies of 

the edited and approved broadcast. 

These copies must be provided on 


jlentini on DSKJ8SOYB1PROD with NOTICES
71150 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 224 / Monday, November 22, 2010 / Notices 

Betacam and/or DVD. The broadcast 

footage will need to be edited to include 

a splash page that provides an outline/ 

menu of the content of the broadcast by 

days, modules, and/or other appropriate 

categories to assist a user in finding 

specific content in which they may have 

an interest. Additionally, any original 

vignettes produced for the broadcast 

must be included on the DVD. All edits 

must be approved by the DLA. 

Transmission: The producer will (1) 

purchase satellite uplink time that will 

include the footprints of Alaska, Hawaii, 

the Virgin Islands, and the continental 

United States; (2) acquire downlink 

transponder time from Ku band; (3) 

purchase Internet streaming of 200 

simultaneous feeds for each program, 

and (4) be able to provide closed 

captioning on the final edited DVD of 

each production. For each broadcast, the 

awardee will test the Internet link and 

streaming. The test should verify 

connectivity to the site, as well as audio 

and video quality. The test must occur 

at least 72 hours prior to the start of the 

live broadcast. The awardee will 

provide real-time, live, toll-free 

telephone support to participant sites or 

individual participants to address 

access, connectivity, and quality issues 

on the day of the live broadcast 

beginning at least 1 hour in advance of 

the broadcast and continuing through 

the broadcast.

all the conditions in PTE 77–4. 

6. Technical Clarifications 

The first paragraph of Section II(h) of 

the Notice and PTE 2010–26 (as 

corrected by this document) states: 

A second fiduciary (Second Fiduciary), as 

defined below in Section III, who is acting on
