Proposal To Enable Operation of a Terrestrial Broadband Network in Certain Mobile Satellite Service Spectrum
In this document, the Federal Communications Commission (Commission) proposed to modify its rules for operation of the Ancillary Terrestrial Component (ATC) of the single Mobile-Satellite Service (MSS) system operating in the 2483.5-2495 MHz band. The proposed rule changes would allow the MSS operator to deploy a low- power terrestrial broadband network that would operate in both Globalstar's licensed spectrum at 2483.5-2495 GHz, and, with the same equipment, spectrum in the adjacent 2473-2483.5 MHz band used by unlicensed devices. This action could potentially increase the amount of spectrum available for broadband access in the United States. The Commission seeks comment on the potential impacts this proposal could have on unlicensed devices, which operate in the 2400-2483.5 MHz band, licensed Broadcast Auxiliary Service (BAS) stations, which operate in the 2483.5-2500 MHz band, and licensed Broadband Radio Service/ Educational Broadband Service (BRS/EBS) stations, which operate in the 2496-2690 MHz band, along with the costs and benefits of the proposed approach.

Special Conditions: Bombardier Inc., Models BD-500-1A10 and BD-500-1A11 Series Airplanes; Fuselage In-Flight Fire Safety and Flammability Resistance
These special conditions are issued for the Bombardier Inc. Models BD-500-1A10 and BD-500-1A11 series airplanes. These airplanes will have novel or unusual design features when compared to the state of technology envisioned in the airworthiness standards for transport category airplanes. These features are associated with the materials used to fabricate the fuselage, which may affect fire propagation during an in-flight fire. The applicable airworthiness regulations do not contain adequate or appropriate safety standards for this design feature. These special conditions contain the additional safety standards that the Administrator considers necessary to establish a level of safety equivalent to that established by the existing airworthiness standards.
Special Conditions: Bombardier Inc., Models BD-500-1A10 and BD-500-1A11 Series Airplanes; Fuselage Post-Crash Fire Survivability
These special conditions are issued for the Bombardier Inc. Models BD-500-1A10 and BD-500-1A11 series airplanes. These airplanes will have novel or unusual design features when compared to the state of technology envisioned in the airworthiness standards for transport category airplanes. These features are associated with an aluminum- lithium fuselage construction that may provide different levels of protection from post-crash fire threats than similar aircraft constructed from traditional aluminum structure. The applicable airworthiness regulations do not contain adequate or appropriate safety standards for this design feature. These special conditions contain the additional safety standards that the Administrator considers necessary to establish a level of safety equivalent to that established by the existing airworthiness standards.

In accordance with Section 122(i) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (``CERCLA''), 42 U.S.C. 9622(i), notice is hereby given of a proposed administrative settlement between the United States, on behalf of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, and Opal Creek Ancient Forest Center (OCAFC) and Gannett Co., Inc. on behalf of Shiny Rock Mining Corporation (Shiny Rock) for the recovery of costs incurred by the United States in responding to the release or threatened release of hazardous substances at and from the Ruth and Morning Star Mines Site (Site), located in the Opal Creek Scenic Recreation Area on the Willamette National Forest, Marion County, Oregon. The Forest Service has incurred costs investigating conditions, analyzing cleanup alternatives, and overseeing OCAFC's and Shiny Rock's work at the Site. Under the proposed settlement OCAFC and Shiny Rock will relocate and stabilize contaminated material at the Site. OCAFC and Shiny Rock will bear the costs for relocating and stabilizing the contaminated material, including the Forest Service's costs for overseeing that work. OCAFC and Shiny Rock will pay a liquidated amount of $4,650, which represents an estimated 50% of the anticipated costs for planned monitoring and maintenance following the relocation and stabilization of the contaminated material. OCAFC and Shiny Rock will not otherwise be responsible for future CERCLA costs at the Site associated with current contamination at the Site. OCAFC, Shiny Rock, and the United States retain the right to recover costs at the Site from persons not parties to the settlement.
