II. Background
As part of its environmental mission,
the Safer Choice program partners with
businesses to help consumers and
commercial buyers identify products
with safer chemical ingredients, without
sacrificing quality or performance.
Toward this end, the Safer Choice
program certifies products containing
ingredients that have met the program’s
specific and rigorous human health and
environmental toxicological criteria.
The Safer Choice program allows
companies to use its label on certified
products that contain safer ingredients
and perform, as determined by expert
evaluation. The Safer Choice program
certification represents a high level of
achievement in formulating products
that are safer for people and the
environment. The purpose of the
Partner of the Year Awards is to
recognize the leadership contributions
of Safer Choice partners and
stakeholders who, over the past year,
have shown achievement in the design,
manufacture, selection, and use of
products with safer chemicals, that
further outstanding or innovative source
reduction. EPA especially encourages
submission of award applications that
show how the applicant’s work in the
design, manufacture, selection and use
of those products promotes
environmental justice, bolsters
resilience to the impacts of climate
change, results in cleaner air or water,
or improves drinking water quality.
III. How can I participate?
To be considered for a Partner of the
Year Award, candidates should notify
the Safer Choice program of their
interest. They should submit supporting
information on their accomplishments
and contributions focusing on calendar
year 2020. There is no form associated

[DA 21–79; MB Docket No. 21–20, FRS
17583]
Auburn Network, Inc., License
Revocation Proceeding for Radio
Stations in the Auburn, AL Market
Federal Communications
Commission.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
This document commences a
hearing to determine whether, in light of
recent felony convictions, the licensee
of stations in the Auburn, AL market is
qualified to hold FCC authorizations,
and consequently, whether licensee’s
current license authorizations should be
revoked, whether the applications for
renewal of various licenses should be
granted, and whether the application for
an FM translator construction permit
should be granted.
DATES: Persons desiring to participate as
parties in the hearing shall file a
petition for leave to intervene not later
than April 23, 2021.
ADDRESSES: File documents with the
Office of the Secretary, Federal
Communications Commission, 45 L St.
NE, Washington, DC 20554, with a copy
mailed to each party to the proceeding.
Each document that is filed in this
proceeding must display on the front
page the docket number of this hearing,
‘‘MB Docket No. 21–20.’’

Albert Shuldiner, Media Bureau, (202)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is a
summary of the Hearing Designation
Order (Order), MB Docket No. 21–20,
DA 21–79, adopted February 10, 2021,
and released February 11, 2021. The full
text of the Order is available online by
using the search function for MB Docket
No. 21–20 on the Commission’s ECFS
web page at www.fcc.gov/ecfs.
SUMMARY:
Summary of the Hearing Designation
Order
1. The Order commences a hearing
proceeding before the Commission to
determine whether multiple felony
convictions render licensee, Michael G.
Hubbard (Hubbard), unqualified to hold
FCC authorizations, and consequently,
whether license authorizations should
be revoked under sections 312(a)(2) and
312(c) of the Communications Act of
1934 (Act), 47 U.S.C. 312(a)(2) and
312(c) for stations WANI(AM), Opelika,
AL, WGZZ(FM), Waverly, AL, W242AX,
Auburn, AL, W254AY, Auburn, AL,
W294AR, Auburn, AL (Stations). The
hearing proceeding will also determine
PO 00000
Frm 00030
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
15669
whether the application filed by ANI for
an FM translator construction permit
(Application) should be granted. This
revocation proceeding and designation
of the Application for hearing stems
from Hubbard’s multiple felony
convictions under the Alabama Code of
Ethics for Public Officials, Employees,
Etc. (Alabama’s Ethics Act), which raise
a substantial and material question of
fact as to Hubbard’s character
qualifications. ANI also seeks
assignment of the Stations’ licenses, and
requests an exception of the
Commission’s Jefferson Radio policy
prohibiting assignment or transfer of a
license when character qualifications
are pending against the licensee.
2. A broadcast licensee’s
authorization to use radio spectrum in
the public interest carries with it the
obligation that the station serves its
community, providing programming
responsive to local needs and interests.
Broadcast licensees are also required to
operate in compliance with the Act and
the Commission’s rules (Rules).
Pursuant to section 309(e) of the Act, 47
U.S.C. 309(e), the Commission is
required to designate an application for
hearing if a substantial and material
question of fact is presented regarding
whether grant of the application would
serve the public interest, convenience,
and necessity. In determining whether
an applicant is qualified to be a
licensee, the Commission considers the
character of the applicant. Section
312(a)(2) of the Act, 47 U.S.C. (312)(a)(2)
provides that the Commission may
revoke any license if conditions present
would warrant refusal to grant a license
or permit. Because the Commission
considers character qualifications in its
review of applications, a character
defect that would warrant the
Commission’s refusal to grant a license
in the original application would
likewise support a Commission
determination to revoke a license or
permit.
3. Non-FCC misconduct may raise
substantial and material questions of
fact concerning the licensee’s character.
The Commission considers evidence of
felony convictions because felonies are
serious crimes and conviction indicates
an applicant’s propensity to obey laws
and conform to provisions of the Act,
Rules, and Commission policies.
Hubbard has been convicted of six
felonies, raising a material and
substantial question of fact as to
whether he, and by extension, ANI,
possess the character qualifications to
operate the Stations in the public
interest, or to hold any other
Commission authorization. Therefore, a
hearing is required to ascertain whether
