FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS

COMMISSION

[DA 97–2685]

Commission Will Not Enforce

Restrictions on Lottery

Advertisements With Respect to

Stations Licensed in New Jersey

Released: December 23, 1997.

The Commission has received

numerous inquiries concerning the

December 16, 1997, decision of the

United States District Court for the

District of New Jersey in Players

International, Inc., et al. v. United

States and FCC, Civil Action No. 96–

4911. In the interest of clarifying the

FCC’s enforcement position in light of

this ruling, the Officer of General

Counsel and the Mass Media Bureau are

issuing this Public Notice.

In the Players decision, the court

declared that the restrictions on the

broadcast of lottery information

contained in Title 18 United States

Code, Section 1304, and Section

73.1211 of the Commission’s Rules,

‘‘unconstitutionally infringe upon

plaintiffs’ First Amendment rights.’’ The

district court has not issued an

injunction against the enforcement of

the restrictions.

After consultation with the

Department of Justice, the Commission

has decided, consistent with its

response to a similar case in the Ninth

Circuit, Valley Broadcasting v. United

States, 107 F.3d 1328 (9th Cir. 1997),

that it will not enforce the ban on the

broadcast of lottery information against

stations licensed to communities in

New Jersey. This policy of nonenforcement applies to any such

broadcasts which air from December 16,

1997, the date of the district court’s

decision, unless and until such time as

that decision is overturned or otherwise

altered or stayed.

We caution broadcasters that they

should ensure that the broadcast of

information regarding lotteries is not

prohibited or otherwise restricted by

New Jersey state law.

Catherine Withers, Mass Media Bureau,
