21986 Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 85 / Wednesday, May 2, 2001 / Notices

Where an LOI is issued, the licensee’s

comments are generally sought

concerning the allegedly indecent

broadcast to assist in determining

whether the material is actionable and

whether a sanction is warranted. If it is

determined that no further action is

warranted, the licensee and the

complainant will be so advised. Where

a preliminary determination is made

that the material was aired and was

indecent, an NAL is issued. If the

Commission previously determined that

the broadcast of the same material was

indecent, the subsequent broadcast

constitutes egregious misconduct and a

higher forfeiture amount is warranted.

The licensee is afforded an

opportunity to respond to the NAL, a

step which is required by statute. 47

U.S.C. 503(b). Once the Commission or

its staff has considered any response by

the licensee, it may order payment of a

monetary penalty by issuing a Forfeiture

Order. Alternatively, if the preliminary

finding of violation in the NAL is

successfully rebutted by the licensee,

the NAL may be rescinded. If a

Forfeiture Order is issued, the monetary

penalty assessed may either be the same

as specified in the NAL or it may be a

lesser amount if the licensee has

demonstrated that mitigating factors

warrant a reduction in forfeiture.

A Forfeiture Order may be appealed

by the licensee through the

administrative process under several

different provisions of the Commission’s

rules. The licensee also has the legal

right to refuse to pay the fine. In such

a case, the Commission may refer the

matter to the U.S. Department of Justice,

which can initiate a trial de novo in a

U.S. District Court. The trial court may

start anew to evaluate the allegations of

indecency.

Section V is the conclusion. The

Commission has issued the Policy

Statement to provide guidance to

broadcast licensees regarding

compliance with the Commission’s

indecency regulations. By summarizing

the regulations and explaining the

Commission’s analytical approach to

reviewing allegedly indecent material,

the Commission provides a framework

by which broadcast licensees can assess

the legality of airing potentially

indecent material. Numerous examples

are provided in this document in an

effort to assist broadcast licensees.

However, the Policy Statement is not

intended to be an all-inclusive summary

of every indecency finding issued by the

Commission and it should not be relied

upon as such. There are many

additional cases that could have been

cited. Further, the excerpts from

broadcasts quoted in the Policy

Statement are intended only as a

research tool. A complete understanding

of the material, and the Commission’s

analysis thereof, requires review of the

tapes or transcripts and the

Commission’s rulings thereon.
