significant deficiencies and problems

and proposed resolution to HQ AFCIC/

ITSM.

(4) Allow documentation of

significant Air Force activities and

events, regardless of their sensitivity or

classification. Protect materials as the

supported command directs. Safeguard

classified images or handle them

according to Department of Defense

(DoD) Directive 5200.1, DoD

Information Security Program, June 7,

1982, with Changes 1 and 2, and AFI

31–401, Information Security Program

Management. The authority in charge of

the event or operation approves

documentation distribution.

(5) Update UTC availability in

MAJCOM information systems.

(6) Assist Air Force Operations Group,

in identifying the command’s capability

to support COMCAM and VI

requirements.

(7) Provide inputs to HQ AMC/SCMV

for the annual VI Exercise Support Plan

for JCS exercises.

(8) Make sure units that have

deployable VI teams have Status of

Resources and Training System

(SORTS) reportable designed

operational capability (DOC) statements

that accurately reflect their mission and

taskings.

(9) Develop and oversee

measurements, such as operational

readiness inspection criteria, to evaluate

VI force readiness at DOC-tasked units.

§ 813.4 Combat camera operations.

(a) Air Force COMCAM forces

document Air Force and air component

activities.

(b) The supported unified command

or joint task force commander, through

the air component commander (when

assigned), controls Air Force COMCAM

forces in a joint environment. If an air

component is assigned, the air

component normally manages

documentation of its operations. Air

Force COMCAM and visual information

support for joint operations will be

proportionate to USAF combat force

participation. In airlift operations, HQ

AMC may be the supported command.

(c) During contingencies, exercises,

and other operations, the Air Force

provides its share of Unified Command

headquarters COMCAM and visual

information support forces for still

photographic, motion media, graphics,

and other VI services.

(d) COMCAM and VI forces take part

in Air Force and joint exercises to test

procedures and over-all readiness.

COMCAM and VI forces also provide VI

products to command, operations,

public affairs, historical, and other

significant customers.

(e) Sourcing COMCAM forces. See

AFMAN 10–401 for specific procedures.

(1) When VI support teams are

required, the lead wing’s VI UTC

deploys as primary, whenever possible.

If lead wing VI support is not available,

the providing command sources the

requirement from other active or reserve

component forces, or coordinates with

other MAJCOMs for assistance.

(2) Air Force VI personnel who assist

supported commands in determining

COMCAM and VI requirements and

sourcing consider the total USAF VI

community as a resource. Planners

consider employing USAF deployable

VI support teams, augmentation combat

documentation teams from

AFSPACECOM, AETC, and ACC, as

well as active and reserve COMCAM

teams.

§ 813.5 Shipping or transmitting visual

information documentation images.

(a) COMCAM images. Send COMCAM

images to the DoD Joint Combat Camera

Center, Room 5A518, Pentagon,

Washington, DC 20330–3000, by the

fastest means possible, following the

approval procedures that on-scene and

theater commanders set.

(b) Other non-COMCAM images. After

use, send significant non-COMCAM

images to the appropriate DoD media

records center through the Air Force

record center accessioning point.

(c) Identification of VIDOC materials.

Clearly identify all VIDOC and

COMCAM material with slates,

captions, and cover stories.

§ 813.6 Planning and requesting combat

documentation.

(a) Planned combat documentation.

Air components identify documentation

needs as early as possible in OPLANs,

CONPLANs, and OPORDs and send

copies of these plans to HQ AMC/

SCMV, 203 West Losey Street, Room

3180, Scott AFB, IL 62225–5223.

Include the contact for planning and

support.

(b) Activity documentation.

MAJCOMs may request that HQ AMC

document their activities. Send

information copies of requests to HQ

AFCIC/ITSM, 1250 Air Force Pentagon,

Washington, DC 20330–1250, and HQ

AMC/SCMV. When a supporting

component command operationally

controls HQ AMC COMCAM units,

other organizations that need support

must coordinate requests with the

supported command.

(c) Unplanned combat

documentation. Send short notice

requests to the supported operational

commander as soon as possible, with

information copies to HQ AFCIC/ITSM

and HQ AMC/SCMO. Identify end

product requirements, media formats,

and deadlines.

(d) Humanitarian, disaster relief, and

contingencies. Theater commanders

normally task the supporting

component through the Joint Operation

Planning and Execution System, that in

turn, requests support from HQ AMC.

HQ USAF can directly task HQ AMC to

document humanitarian, disaster relief,

or contingency activities if it does not

receive other tasking(s). In these cases,

coordinate with the supported unified

command.

§ 813.7 Readiness reporting.

All Air Force units assigned a DOC

statement report readiness status

through the SORTS process. See AFI

10–201, Status of Resources and

Training System, for specific

information and reporting criteria.

[Docket No. 2000–4 CARP CRA]

Adjustment of Cable Statutory License

Royalty Rates

AGENCY: Copyright Office, Library of

Congress.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: The Copyright Office of the

Library of Congress is publishing final

regulations governing the adjustment of

the royalty rates for the cable statutory

license.

DATES: These regulations are effective

July 1, 2000.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

David O. Carson, General Counsel, or

William J. Roberts, Jr., Senior Attorney

for Compulsory Licenses, Copyright

Arbitration Royalty Panel (CARP), P.O.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

Section 111 of the Copyright Act, 17

U.S.C., creates a statutory license for

cable systems that retransmit to their

subscribers over-the-air broadcast

signals. Royalty fees for this license are

calculated as percentages of a cable

system’s gross receipts received from

Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 210 / Monday, October 30, 2000 / Rules and Regulations 64623

subscribers for receipt of broadcast

signals. A cable system’s individual

gross receipts determine the applicable

percentages. These percentages, and the

gross receipts limitations, are published

in 37 CFR part 256 and are subject to

adjustment at five-year intervals. 17

U.S.C. 801(b)(2)(A) & (D). This was a

window year for such an adjustment.

The Library received two petitions for

a rate adjustment and published a

Federal Register notice seeking

comment on these petitions and

directed interested parties to file a

Notice of Intent to Participate in a

Copyright Arbitration Royalty Panel

(‘‘CARP’’) proceeding. 65 FR 10564

(February 28, 2000). The Library also

designated a 30-day period to negotiate

a settlement as to adjustment of the

rates. 37 CFR 251.63(a). The Library

extended the negotiation period on two

separate occasions in Orders dated May

15, 2000, and June 5, 2000. The

extensions proved to be successful, as

the Library received a joint proposal to

adjust the cable royalty fees and the

gross receipts limitations.

Pursuant to § 251.63(b) of the CARP

rules, the Library published in the

Federal Register the proposed

adjustments to the percentages of gross

receipts paid by cable systems, and the

gross receipts limitations. 65 FR 54984

(September 12, 2000). Section 251.63(b)

provides that the Library ‘‘may adopt

the rate embodied in the proposed

settlement without convening an

arbitration panel, provided that no

opposing comment is received by the

Librarian [of Congress] from a party

with an intent to participate in a CARP

proceeding.’’ 37 CFR 251.63(b). No

comments or Notices of Intent to

Participate were received, enabling

publication of today’s final regulations

adopting the proposed settlement.

The regulations take effect on July 1,

2000, which means that the new cable

rates, and the gross receipts limitations,

are applicable to the second accounting

period of 2000 and thereafter.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

AGENCY

40 CFR Part 300

[FRL–6859–8]

National Oil and Hazardous

Substances Pollution Contingency;

National Priorities List

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of deletion of the White

Farm Equipment Landfill Superfund

site (site) from the National Priorities

List (NPL).

SUMMARY: The EPA Region VII

announces the deletion of the White

Farm Equipment Landfill site, Charles

City, Iowa from the NPL. The NPL is

appendix B of 40 CFR part 300 which

is the National Oil and Hazardous

Substances Pollution Contingency Plan

(NCP), which EPA promulgated

pursuant to section 105 of the

Comprehensive Environmental

Response, Compensation, and Liability

Act of 1980 (CERCLA), as amended. The

EPA and the state of Iowa have

determined that the site poses no

significant threat to public health or the

environment and, therefore, no further

remedial measures pursuant to CERCLA

are appropriate.

EFFECTIVE DATE: October 30, 2000.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Manager, U.S. EPA, Region VII,

Superfund Division, 901 North 5th

Street, Kansas City, Kansas 66101,

telephone (913) 551–7704, fax (913)

551–7063.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The site to

be deleted from the NPL is: White Farm

Equipment Landfill site, Charles City,

Iowa.

A Notice of Intent to Delete for this

site was published in the Federal

Register on September 7, 2000 (65 FR

54190). The closing date for comments

on the Notice of Intent to Delete was

October 10, 2000. No comments were

received, therefore, EPA has not

prepared a Responsiveness Summary.

The EPA identifies sites that appear to

present a significant risk to public

health, welfare, or the environment and

it maintains the NPL as the list of those

sites. Any site deleted from the NPL

remains eligible for fund-finances

remedial actions in the unlikely event

that conditions at the site warrant such

action. Section 300.425(e)(3) of the NCP

states that fund-financed actions may be

taken at sites deleted from the NPL.

Deletion of a site from the NPL does not

affect responsible party liability or
