Synopsis of Public Notice

1. On March 8, 2001, Network

Affiliated Stations Alliance (‘‘NASA’’)

filed a Petition for Inquiry into Network

Practices (‘‘Petition’’). NASA’s Petition

asked the FCC to institute an inquiry as

to whether certain alleged practices of

the top four television networks with

respect to their affiliates are consistent

with the Commission’s network rules,

CFR 73.658; the Communications Act;

and the public interest. In addition,

NASA asked that the Commission

examine, in the inquiry, what additional

steps it should take to ‘‘limit or prevent

other improper network conduct not

deemed to violate existing rules.’’ In a

letter, dated May 2, 2001, submitted to

the Commission, counsel for NASA

urged that the Commission treat its

Petition as a petition for declaratory

relief (Letter to Michael Powell,

Chairman, from Wade H. Hargrove and

Jonathan D. Blake, Counsel for the

Network Affiliated Stations Alliance,

May 2, 2001). In response to this letter,

the four major networks raised

procedural concerns about the NASA

Petition and denied that they had

violated the Commission’s rules (Letter

to Michael K. Powell, Chairman, from

Maureen O’Connell, Fox Broadcasting

Company; Anne Lucey, Viacom, Inc.;

Diane Zipursky, National Broadcasting

Company, Inc.; and Susan Fox, The

Walt Disney Company, May 14, 2001.

The foregoing networks have also

submitted letters with respect to the ex

parte status of the NASA Petition). As

indicated in the Petition and subsequent

letters from NASA and the top four

networks, the parties disagree as to

whether the Commission should take

action with respect to the Petition, and,

if so, as to the procedural context of any

such Commission response. No decision

has been reached as to this issue and

none is expressed or implied by our

action here.

2. By this Notice, comment is sought

on the Petition and the responses to the

Petition. Interested parties may submit

comments. Comments and replies

should specifically reference this Notice

(DA 01–1264). Commenters must file an

original and four copies of all comments

and reply comments with the

Commission’s Secretary: Magalie Roman

Salas, Office of the Secretary, Federal

Communications Commission, 445 12th

St., SW, Room TW–A325, Washington,

D.C. 20554.

3. Ex parte status: In order to permit

a full exchange of views on the multiple

issues raised in the Petition, and given

NASA’s clarification that it is seeking a

declaratory ruling rather than specific

enforcement action, we have concluded

that the public interest would be served

by classifying this proceeding as permitbut-disclose under the ex parte rules.

Accordingly, by this Notice, and

pursuant to § 1.1200(a) of the

Commission’s rules, we announce that

this proceeding will be governed by

permit-but-disclose ex parte procedures

that are applicable to nonrestricted

proceedings under § 1.1206 of the

Commission’s rules.

4. Permit-but-disclose ex parte

procedures permit interested parties to

make ex parte presentations to the

Commissioners and Commission

employees and require that these

presentations be disclosed in the record

of the relevant proceeding. Persons

making a written ex parte presentation

to the Commissioners or Commission

employees must file the written

presentation with the Commission, as

set forth, no later than the next business

day after the presentation. Section

1.1206(b)(1). Persons making oral ex

parte presentations must file a summary

of the presentation, and deliver copies

to the Commissioners or Commission

employees involved with the

presentation no later than the next

business day after the presentation.

Section 1.1206(b)(2). All ex parte filings

must be clearly labeled as such and

must reference this Notice, as well as
