In this public workshop, a broad array of international stakeholders involved in oncology drug development and PRO measurement will provide perspectives on the role of PRO measures to provide complementary clinical data on the symptomatic side effects of anti-cancer agents. Speakers and panelists will explore the utility of information derived from existing and emerging PRO measures and discuss potential ways to improve the collection, analysis, and presentation of the data to support drug development and better inform treatment decisions. In addition, workshop participants will discuss possible approaches to the patient-reported assessment of an investigational drug's overall side effect burden as a clinical trial endpoint.

NAICS 2017 created 21 new industries by reclassifying, combining, or splitting 29 existing industries under changes made to NAICS in 2012 (NAICS 2012). SBA's proposed size standards for these 21 new industries have resulted in an increase to size standards for six NAICS 2012 industries and part of one industry, a decrease to size standards for two, a change in the size standards measure from average annual receipts to number of employees for one, and no change in size standards for twenty industries and part of one industry.

Channel Sharing Rules
Document Number: 2017-07171
Type: Rule
Date: 2017-04-18
Agency: Federal Communications Commission, Agencies and Commissions
In this Report and Order, the Federal Communications Commission (Commission) adopted rules to allow full power and Class A stations with auction-related channel sharing agreements (CSAs) to become sharees outside of the incentive auction context so that they can continue to operate if their auction-related CSAs expire or otherwise terminate. The Commission also adopted rules to allow all low power television and TV translator stations (secondary stations) to share a channel with another secondary station or with a full power or Class A station. This action will assist secondary stations that are displaced by the incentive auction and the repacking process to continue to operate in the post-auction television bands. The rules adopted in this R&O will enhance the benefits of channel sharing for broadcasters without imposing significant burdens on multichannel video programming distributors (MVPDs).
