Model Milestones For NRC Adjudicatory Proceedings

The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is issuing final regulations on a plain language rewrite of its regulations regarding the employment of relatives as part of a broader review of OPM's regulations. The purpose of the revision is to make the regulations more readable.
Member Business Loans
NCUA proposes to revise its member business loans (MBL) rule to clarify the minimum capital requirements a federally insured corporate credit union (Corporate CU) must meet to make unsecured MBLs to its members other than member credit unions and corporate credit union service organizations (Corporate CUSOs). NCUA also proposes to revise the definition of ``construction or development loan'' to include loans for renovating or developing property owned by a borrower for income-producing purposes and the definition of ``net worth'' to be more consistent with how that phrase is defined in the Federal Credit Union Act (Act) and NCUA's prompt corrective action regulation (PCA). Additionally, NCUA is soliciting comments on how best to amend the MBL rule to enable credit unions to participate more fully in government guaranteed loan programs.
Service Rules and Procedures To Govern the Use of Aeronautical Mobile Satellite Service Earth Stations in Frequency Bands Allocated to the Fixed Satellite Service
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) proposes and seeks comment on a regulatory framework for licensing the operation of Aeronautical Mobile Satellite Service (AMSS) systems to communicate with fixed-satellite service (FSS) networks in the Ku-Band frequencies. Aircraft Earth stations (AES) in the AMSS can be used to provide broadband telecommunications services on passenger, government, and executive/private aircraft. This Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) also seeks comments on licensing methods for AES terminals that will minimize the burdens upon applicants and licensees, while maintaining operational limitations necessary to avoid harmful interference.
Auction of Direct Broadcast Satellite Licenses
The Commission restricts eligibility for the Direct Broadcast Satellite license authorizing use of channels 23 and 24 at the 61.5\0\ W.L. orbit location. Specifically, licensees currently operating satellites at orbit locations capable of providing DBS service to the 50 U.S. states will be prohibited from acquiring, owning, or controlling this license until four years after the award of the initial license.
First-Time Application of International Financial Reporting Standards
The Commission is adopting amendments to Form 20-F to provide a one-time accommodation relating to financial statements prepared under International Financial Reporting Standards (``IFRS'') for foreign private issuers registered with the SEC. This accommodation applies to foreign private issuers that adopt IFRS prior to or for the first financial year starting on or after January 1, 2007. The accommodation permits eligible foreign private issuers for their first year of reporting under IFRS to file two years rather than three years of statements of income, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows prepared in accordance with IFRS, with appropriate related disclosure. The accommodation retains current requirements regarding the reconciliation of financial statement items to generally accepted accounting principles as used in the United States (``U.S. GAAP''). In addition, the Commission is amending Form 20-F to require certain disclosures of all foreign private issuers that change their basis of accounting to IFRS.
