Summary of the Second Order on Reconsideration and Second Report 1. In this Second Order on Reconsideration and Second Report and Order (‘‘Second Order’’) we resolve issues regarding the obligation of television broadcasters to protect and PO 00000 Frm 00044 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 serve children in their audience. We address matters related to two areas: the obligation of television broadcast licensees to provide educational and informational programming for children and the requirement that television broadcast licensees and cable operators protect children from excessive and inappropriate commercial messages. Some of the rules and policies adopted herein apply only to digital broadcasters, while others apply to both analog and digital broadcasters as well as cable operators. Our goals in resolving these issues are to provide television broadcasters with guidance regarding their obligation to serve children as we transition from an analog to a digital television environment, update our rules protecting children from overcommercialization in children’s programming, and improve our children’s programming rules and policies. 2. Specifically, this Second Order makes certain modifications to the rules and policies adopted in our September 9, 2004 Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rule Making (70 FR 25 and 63, January 3, 2005) (‘‘2004 Order’’) in this proceeding. The modifications we make today respond to petitions for reconsideration filed in response to the rules as well as a Joint Proposal of Industry and Advocates on Reconsideration of Children’s Television Rules (‘‘Joint Proposal’’) filed by a group of cable and broadcast industry representatives and children’s television advocates, among others. 3. Our decision today does not alter the new children’s core programming ‘‘multicasting’’ rule adopted in the 2004 Order, but does clarify the way in which repeats of core programs will be counted under the new rule. We do not make substantial changes to the four-prong Web site rule adopted in the 2004 Order, but do amend the host selling restrictions adopted in the 2004 Order to apply those restrictions less broadly and to exempt certain third party Web sites from the host selling restriction. We also revise the definition of ‘‘commercial time’’ adopted in the 2004 Order to limit the kinds of promotions of children’s programs that must be counted under the advertising rules adopted in the 2004 Order. In addition, with regard to scheduling of core children’s programming, we vacate the percentage cap on the number of permissible core program preemptions adopted in the 2004 Order and return to our prior practice of addressing the number of preemptions and rescheduling of core programming on a case-by-case basis. These modifications will serve the public interest by E:\FR\FM\01NOR1.SGM 01NOR1
