Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB Review; Joint Comment Request, 3041-3042 [E9-841]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 11 / Friday, January 16, 2009 / Notices ALJ. Section 5(c)(1) and (8) of the Act describe the employees to whom the Commission may delegate review functions in cases of adjudications. 47 U.S.C. 155(c)(1), (8). These statutory provisions are inapplicable here because the Bureau is not reviewing any decision of the ALJ. Indeed, the ALJ has not issued any decision as required by the HDO so there is no ALJ recommended decision to review. The ALJ’s authority under the HDO was limited to issuing a recommended decision within 60 days of the release date of the HDO. The HDO made clear that the Commission was to render the ultimate decision and nothing in the HDO divested the Commission (or the Media Bureau on delegated authority) from resolving the factual disputes and issuing a decision in the event that the ALJ failed to exercise its delegated authority under the HDO. 19. The cable operators also argue that the period for seeking reconsideration under Section 405 of the Act (47 U.S.C. 405) has passed, and that a request for revocation of the hearing designation would be an improper appeal of an interlocutory ruling. We need not address these arguments because we are neither reconsidering nor revoking the HDO. As indicated above, the grant of authority in the instant matters was limited to the ALJ issuing a recommended decision by December 10, 2008. That date having passed, the ALJ has no further authority over these matters and revocation and reconsideration are unnecessary. Thus, the petitions to revoke or reconsider the HDO are moot. mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES IV. Ordering Clauses 20. Accordingly, It is ordered, that the Hearing Designation Order for the above captioned matters has Expired, the proceedings set for hearing before the Administrative Law Judge are Terminated, and the Media Bureau will proceed to resolve the above captioned program carriage disputes. 21.

foreign country exposures (all exposures to a country in excess of 1 
percent of total assets or 20 percent of capital, whichever is less) of 
U.S. banks and bank holding companies that file the FFIEC 009 report. 
As part of the Country Exposure Information Report, reporting

lending exposures above 0.75 percent of total assets or 15 percent of 
total capital, whichever is less.
