SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 1. The

host a policy forum on market entry

2. The purpose of the forum is to

present the findings of a series of

studies which examine the extent, if

any, to which small, women- and

minority-owned firms in the

communications industry experience

market entry barriers. The studies were

commenced pursuant to Section 257 of

the Telecommunications Act of 1996, 47

U.S.C. 257, which requires that the FCC

identify and eliminate market entry

barriers for entrepreneurs and other

small telecommunications businesses,

and Section 309(j) of the Act, which

requires the FCC to further

opportunities in the allocation of

spectrum-based services for small

businesses and businesses owned by

women and minorities.

3. The forum will begin with

presentations by the experts who

conducted studies, and will be followed

by a roundtable discussion with

industry practitioners, civil rights

experts, and the authors to further

explore and discuss the findings

reached in the reports.

4. The forum is open to the public,

and seating will be available on a first

come, first served basis. At the end of

the roundtable, we will provide the

audience with an opportunity for a short

question-and-answer period. All

interested persons are invited to attend.

are hereby authorized to allocate from funds

available for these purposes, such amounts as

you find necessary for Federal disaster

assistance and administrative expenses.

You are authorized to provide Individual

Assistance, Public Assistance, and Hazard

Mitigation in the designated areas. Consistent

with the requirement that Federal assistance

be supplemental, any Federal funds provided

or Hazard Mitigation will be limited to 75

percent of the total eligible costs.

Further, you are authorized to make

changes to this declaration to the extent

allowable under the Stafford Act.
