Cable Television Horizontal and Vertical Ownership Limits
The Commission seeks additional input on horizontal and vertical cable ownership limits to satisfy the legislative mandate in the Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992 (1992 Cable Act) and the court's directives in Time Warner Entertainment Co. v. FCC, 240 F.3d 1126 (D.C. Cir. 2001) (Time Warner II). Section 613(f) of the Communications Act, enacted as part of the 1992 Cable Act, directs the Commission to conduct proceedings to establish reasonable limits on the number of subscribers a cable operator may serve (horizontal limit) and the number of channels a cable operator may devote to its affiliated programming networks (vertical, or channel occupancy, limit). The court in Time Warner II reversed and remanded the Commission's 30% horizontal ownership limit and its 40% channel occupancy limit. The Commission concludes that it is necessary to update and strengthen the evidentiary record, which must be sufficient to support revised ownership limits.

Special Condition: Robinson R44 Helicopters, Section 27.1309, Installation of an Autopilot (AP) Stabilization Augmentation System (SAS) That Has Potential Failure Modes With Criticality Categories Higher Than Those Envisioned by the Applicable Airworthiness Regulations
This proposed special condition is issued for the modification of the Robinson Model R44 helicopter. This modification will have novel or unusual design features associated with installing a complex Autopilot/ Stabilization Augmentation System (AP/SAS) that has potential failure modes with more severe adverse consequences than those envisioned by the existing applicable airworthiness regulations. This proposal contains the additional safety standards that the Administrator considers necessary to ensure that the failures and their effects are sufficiently analyzed and contained.
Special Conditions: Gulfstream Model LP 1125 Westwind Astra Airplane; High Intensity Radiated Fields (HIRF)
These special conditions are issued for the Gulfstream Model LP 1125 Westwind Astra airplane modified by Duncan Aviation, Inc. This airplane will have novel and unusual design features when compared to the state of technology envisioned in the airworthiness standards for transport category airplanes. The applicable airworthiness regulations do not contain adequate or appropriate safety standards for the protection of these systems from the effects of high-intensity radiated fields (HIRF). These special conditions contain the additional safety standards that the Administrator considers necessary to establish a level of safety equivalent to that provided by the existing airworthiness standards.

The agency is taking this action in response to requests for an extension to allow interested persons additional time to submit comments.
