SUBCHAPTER B— FARM MARKETING QUOTAS AND ACREAGE ALLOTMENTS
PART 719— RECONSTITUTION OF FARMS, FARM ALLOTMENTS AND FARM HISTORY AND SOIL BANK BASE ACREAGES
Farm Definition(a) Basis and purpose. This amend
ment is issued pursuant to section 375 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938, as amended (7 U.S.C. 1375), section 124 of the Soil Bank Act (7 U.S.C. 1812), Soil-Conservation and Domestic Allotment Act (16 U.S.C. 590p(h)), to amend the regulations governing the reconstitution of farms, farm allotments, farm history and soil bank base acreages (27 F.R. 6482, 7382, 11919; 28 F.R. 1415, 1711, 2227; 29 F.R. 339). This amendment adds a provision to the definition of a farm under which a farm would include, for compliance purposes, the land on which the acreage of a commodity, transferred for natural disaster reasons, is planted- This is to implement sections 334 (k) and 344 (n) of the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938, as amended by the Agricultural Act of 1964. Since the planting of the affected commodities, cotton and wheat, is now in progress, it is imperative that the provisions of this amendment be made known to the farm operators as soon as possible. Accordingly, It is hereby found and determined that compliance with the notice public procedure and effective date requirements of section 4 of the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 1003) is impractical and contrary to the public interest, and the amendment contained herein shall become éffective upon publication in the F ederal R egister.
Section 719.2(1) (2) is amended by adding subdivision (vi) to read as follows:§ 719.2 Definitions.
* * * * *( 1 ) * * *(2) * * *(vi) Any farm from which the acreage
of a commodity is transferred for natural disaster reasons pursuant to regulations issued by the Secretary shall include, for

Subpart— Acreage Allotment Regulations for the 1964 and Succeeding Crops of Upland Cotton
T ransfer of Cotton Acreage Affected by a Natural D isaster
This amendment is issued pursuant to the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938, as amended (52 Stat. 31, as amended; 7 US.C. 1281 et seq.), as amended by Title I of the Agricultural Act of 1964.
(a) . The purpose of this amendment is to modify the planting requirements for history purposes under sections 344 (f)(8) and 377 of the act in the case of farms planting for 1964 and 1965 within the farm domestic allotment established under section 350 of the act, and to provide for the transfer of cotton acreage affected by a natural disaster under section 344(a) of the act.
(b) In order that determinations with respect to transfers of acreage for the 1964 crop may be made prior to the end of the cotton planting season, it is essential that this amendment be made effective as soon as possible. Accordingly, it is hereby determined and found that compliance with the notice, public procedure requirements and the 30-day effective date requirements of section 4 of the Administrative Procedure Act (60 Stat. 238; 5 U.S.C. 1003) is impracticable and contrary to the public interest and this amendment shall be effective upon filing of this document with the Director, Office of the Federal Register.
The acreage allotment regulations for the 1964 and succeeding crops of upland cotton (28 F.R. 11041, 29 F.R. 2301) are amended as follows:
1. Section 722.214 of the regulations is amended by adding a new paragraph at the end thereof as follows:§ 722.214 Adjustm ent o f allotm ent

(d) Farms planting within the farm domestic allotment for 1964 and 1965. Farm domestic allotments for the 1964 and 1965 crops are required to be estab-
5304 RULES AND REGULATIONSlished for each farm under section 350 of the act. If the acreage planted to cotton on the farm is within the farm domestic allotment so established, the provisions of paragraphs (a) and (b) of this section regarding planting of 75 percent of the farm allotment shall be satisfied if 75 percent of the farm domestic allotment is planted as specified in these respective paragraphs.
2. A new § 722.226 is added to the regulations immediately after § 722.225 as follows:§ 722.226 Transfer of farm cotton acre
age affected by a natural disaster.(a) General authority. Upon a de
termination for any year that because of a natural disaster a portion of the farm allotments in a county cannot be timely planted or replanted in such year, a transfer of such acreage may be authorized under section 344(n) of the act. For any year in which a natural disaster within the meaning of section 344 (n) of the act occurs, the necessary determinations and designation of affected States and counties and closing date for filing applications for transfer will be published as paragraphs of this section.
(b) Application for transfer. The owner or operator of a farm in a county designated for any year under paragraph (a) of this section may file a written application for transfer of cotton acreage, within the farm cotton allotment, for such year to another farm in the same county or in an adjoining county in the same or another State if such acreage cannot be timely planted or replanted because of the natural disaster determined for such year. The application shall be filed with the county committee for the county in which the farm affected by such disaster is located. If the application involves a transfer to an adjoining county, the county committee for the adjoining county shall be Consulted before action is taken by the county committee receiving the application.
(c) Amount of transfer. The acreage to be transferred shall not exceed the smaller of (1) the farm allotment established under section 344 of the act less such acreage planted to cotton and not destroyed by the natural disaster, or (2} the acreage requested to be transferred.
(d) County committee approval. The county committee shall approve the transfer if it finds that the following conditions have been met:
(1) All or part of the farm allotment for the farm from which the acreage is to be transferred could not be timely planted or replanted because of the natural disaster and planting was not prohibited by the lease in case of lands owned by the Federal Government.
(2) One or more producers of cotton on the farm from which the acreage is to be transferred will be a bona fide producer engaged in the production of cotton on the farm to which the acreage is to be transferred and will share in the crop or in the proceeds of the cotton. Such sharing shall be in the manner customary in the area in order to establish the status of such producer as a
bona fide producer on the farm to which the acreage is to be transferred.
(e) Cancellation of transfers. If a transfer is approved under this section and it is later determined that the conditions in paragraph (d) of this section have not been met, the county committee, State committee or the deputy administrator may cancel such transfer. Action by the county committee to cancel a transfer shall be subject to the approval of the State committee or its representative.
(f) Acreage history credits and eligibility as an old cotton farm. Any acreage transferred under this section shall be deemed to be released acreage for purposes of acreage history credits under sections 344(f)(8), 344(m)(2) and 377 of the act: Provided, That notwithstanding section 344(m) (2) of the act, transferred acreage shall be deemed planted on the farm from which transferred for purposes of determining eligibility as an old cotton farm under section 344(f) (1) of the act whether or not such acreage was actually planted.
(g) Closing date. The 1964 closing date for approval of transfers by the county committee shall be June 10,1964.
(h) Designated States and counties affected by natural disaster. An amendment to this paragraph will be issued designating States and counties in which it is determined that a natural disaster consisting of flood or excessive rainfall in 1964 may have prevented timely planting or replanting of a portion of the 1964 farm cotton allotment.(Secs. 344(f)(8), 344(n), 375, 377; 78 Stat. 173, 52 Stat. 66, as amended, 7 U.S.C. 1344 (f) (8), 1344(n), 1375,1377)

(e) Executive Vice President, CCC. No delegation of authority herein shall preclude the Executive Vice President, CCC, or his designee, from determining any question arising under this subpart or from reversing or modifying any determination made pursuant to a delegation of authority in this subpart.§ 1434.52 Eligible producers.
(a) Producer. An eligible producer shall be an individual, partnership, corporation, estate, trust, or other legal entity, who extracts honey produced by bees owned by him, or a cooperative marketing association which qualifies as an eligible producer under § 1434.56 and meets the requirements for eligibility for price support contained in this subpart.
(b) Estates and trusts. A receiver of an insolvent debtor’s estate, an executor or an administrator of a deceased person’s estate, a guardian of an estate of a ward or an incompetent person, and trustee of a trust estate will be considered to represent the insolvent debtor, the deceased person, the ward or incompetent, and the beneficiary of a trust respectively, and the production of the receiver, executor, administrator, guard- ism or trustee shall be considered to be the production of the person he represents.

negligence, or conversion on the part of the producer; (b) the physical loss or damage resulted solely from an external cause (other than insect infestation, vermin, or animals) such as theft, fire, lightning, inherent explosion, windstorm, cyclone, tornado, flood, or other act of God; (c) the producer gave the county office immediate notice of such loss or damage; and (d) the producer made no fraudulent representation in the loan documents or in obtaining the loan. No loss on the value of the honey caused by a change in color will be assumed by CCC unless the change in color is the direct result of one or more of the causes listed in .paragraph (b) of this section and the producer otherwise meets the requirements of this section. No physical loss or damage to or change in color of the honey which occurred prior to disbursement of the loan funds to the producer will be assumed by CCC.§ 1434.70 Personal liability o f the pro
ducer.(a) Fraud relating to loans and un
lawful disposition. The making of any fraudulent representation by a producer in the loan documents (including the application for price support) in obtaining a loan, or in connection with settlement dr delivery under a loan, or the unlawful disposition of any portion of the honey by him will render the producer subject to criminal prosecution under Federal law. Any such loans shall become payable upon demand and the producer shall be personally liable, aside from any additional liability under criminal and civil frauds statutes, for the amount of the loan, for any additional amount paid to the producer in connection with the honey, and for all costs Which CCC would not have incurred had it not been for the producer’s fraudulent representation or unlawful disposition, together with interest on such amounts. If a producer has made any such fraudulent representation or any unlawful disposition, the amount for which he shall be credited will be the market value of the honey as determined by CCC on the date of delivery to or removal from storage by CCC, or the sales price if the honey is sold by CCC in order to determine its market value. If the unlawful disposition of loan collateral is determined by CCC not to have been willful conversion, the value of the honey or part thereof delivered to CCC or removed by CCC shall be the same as the settlement value for eligible honey acquired by CCC as provided in this subpart.
(b) Fraud relating to purchases: If the producer has made a fraudulent representation in a price support purchase by CCC or in the purchase documents (including the application for price support) , he shall be personally liable, aside from any additional liability under criminal or civil frauds statutes, for any loss which CCC sustains upon the honey delivered under the purchase. For the purpose of this program, such loss shall be deemed to be the price paid to the producer on the honey delivered under the purchase plus all costs sustained by CCC in connection with the honey to
gether with interest on such amounts, less the market value, as determined by CCC, as of the close of the market on the date of delivery, or the sales price if the honey is sold in order to determine its market value.
(c) Overdisbursement. If the amount disbursed under a loan or purchase exceeds the amount authorized under this subpart, the producer shall be personally liable for repayment of the amount of such excess.
(d) Contamination or poisonous substances. A producer shall be personally liable for any damages resulting from delivery to CCC of contaminated honey or honey containing chemicals or other substances poisonous to man or animals.
(e) Joint loans. In the case of joint loans, tide personal liability for the amounts specified in this section shall be joint and several on the part of each producer signing the note.§ 1434.71 Quantity for loan.
Loans shall be made on 90 percent, or such other lessor percentage determined by the State committee, of the estimated quantity of the eligible honey stored in approved farm storage and covered by a chattel mortgage. The State committee’s determination shall be on a State-wide basis or for specified areas within the State. The county committee may lower the above percentages on an individual basis when determined to be in the best interests of CCC. Loans may be made on less than the maximum quantity bligible for loan at the producer’s request. In any event, the mortgage shall cover all of the honey in the lot in which the honey on which the loan is made is stored.§ 1434.72 Release o f the honey under
loan.(a) Obtaining release. A producer
shall not remove honey covered by a chattel mortgage until he has received prior approval in writing from the county committee. A producer may, a t any time, obtain release of all or part of the honey remaining under loan by paying to ,CCC the amount of the loan made with respect to the quantity of honey released plus interest. When the proceeds of a sale of honey are needed to repay all or part of a loan, see § 1434.67.
(b) Release of chattel mortgage. The chattel mortgage shall not be released until the loan has been satisfied in full. After satisfaction of a loan, the county office manager shall release the chattel mortgage.§ 1434.73 Liquidation of loans.
(a) General. Except with respect to the loss or damage CCC will assume under § 1434.69, the producer is required to pay off his loan or deliver to CCC a sufficient quantity of eligible honey having a price support value equal to the outstanding balance of the loan. Deliveries may be either of the identical honey which, is subject to the chattel mortgage or of other eligible honey and shall be made in accordance with written instructions issued by the county office which shall set forth the time and place
5312
of delivery. Any quantity delivered in excess of the quantity necessary to settle the amount due on the loan may be sold to CCC under § 1434.74. Delivery points shall be limited to those recommended by the State committee and approved by the Minneapolis Commodity Office.
(b) Notice to county committee. If the producer desires to deliver the honey to CCC he must give the county committee notice in writing of his intention to do so within a reasonable time prior to the applicable loan maturity date.
(c) Honey going out of condition. If, either before or after maturity, the honey is going out of condition, the producer shall so notify the county office and confirm such notice in writing. If the county committee determines that the honey is going out of condition or is in danger of going out of condition and that the honey cannot be satisfactorily conditioned by the producer, and delivery cannot be accepted within a reasonable length of time, the county committee shall arrange for an inspection and grade and quality determination. When delivery is completed, settlement shall be made subject to the provisions of § 1434.69 on the basis of such grade and quality determination or on the basis of the grade and quality determination made a t the time of delivery, whichever is higher, for the quantity actually delivered.
(d) Delivery "before maturity date. The honey may be delivered before the maturity date of the loan upon prior approval by the county committee in the event the bees are sold, the honey is going out of condition, or the producer dies or upon authorization of the Executive Vice President, CCC, for other reasons. Settlement will be made on the basis of the quantity, floral source, color, and quality delivered by the producer.
(e) Storage deduction for early delivery. If the loan maturity date is accelerated upon request of the producer and with the approval of CCC, the settlement value of the honey shall be reduced by one-twentieth of a cent per pound per month or fraction thereof, from the date delivery is accomplished, or from the final date for delivery shown in the delivery Instructions, whichever is earlier, to and including the original loan maturity date.§ 1434.74 Purchases from producers.
(a) General. An eligible producer, whose application for price support has been approved by CCC, may sell to CCC any or all of his eligible honey other than the quantity mortgaged to CCC under a loan. The producer is not obligated, however, to sell any quantity of his honey to CCC. Delivery points for honey under purchase shall be limited to those recommended by the State committee and approved by the Minneapolis Commodity Office.
(b) Notify county committee. A producer must notify the county committee of his intention to sell. Such notice must be given within a reasonable period of time prior to the applicable loan matu-
RULES AND REGULATIONSrity date. Such period will be prescribed by the county committee in a notice mailed to the producer.§ 1434.75 Settlement of loans and pur
chases.(a) General. Settlement with pro
ducers for honey acquired by CCC under loans or purchases, entered into pursuant to this subpart, will be made as provided in this subpart. The support rate per pound of honey at which settlement will be made shall be the rate for the State where the producer made application for price support.
(b) Ineligible honey inadvertently accepted by CCC. If ineligible honey is inadvertently accepted by CCC, the settlement value shall be the market value as of the date of delivery as determined by CCC. The provisions of § 1434.70 shall be applicable to settlement on ineligible honey where there has been a fraudulent representation on the part of the producer.
(c) Payments of amount due producer. If the settlement value of the honey delivered exceeds the amount due on the loan (excluding interest), such excess amount shall be paid to the producer. Any payment due the producer on either a loan or purchase will be made by sight draft drawn on CCC by the county office.
(d) Payment of deficiency by producer. If the settlement value of the honey is less than the amount due on the loan (excluding interest), the amount of any deficiency plus interest thereon shall be paid to CCC, except as provided in § 1434.69. If it is not promptly paid, CCC may, in addition to any of its other rights, satisfy the amount of such deficiency plus interest out of any payment which would otherwise be due the producer under any agricultural program administered by the Secretary of Agriculture or any other payments which are due or may become due the producer from CCC or any other agency of the United States.
(e) Storage where CCC is unable to take delivery. A producer may be required to retain the honey under loan or for sale to CCC for 60 days after maturity without any cost to CCC. However, if CCC is unable to take delivery of the honey within the 60-day period after maturity, the producer shall be paid a storage payment upon delivery of the honey to CCC: Provided, That in the case of sales to CCC a storage payment shall be paid a producer only if he had properly given notice of his intention to sell the honey to CCC.
The period for earning such storage payment shall begin the day following the expiration of the 60-day period after the maturity date and extend through the earlier of : (1) The final date of delivery, or (2) the final date for delivery as specified in the delivery instructions issued to the producer by the county office, whichever is earlier. The storage payment shall be computed at the storage rate stated in the applicable CCC storage agreement for honey in effect at the delivery point where he delivers.
§ 1434.76 Foreclosure.(a) Removal from storage. If the
loan (i.e., the amount of the note, interest, and charges) is not satisfied upon maturity, CCC may remove the honey from storage, and assign, transfer, and deliver the honey or documents evidencing title thereto at such time, in such manner, and upon such terms as CCC may determine, at public or private sale. Any such disposition may similarly be effected without removing the honey from storage. The honey may be processed before sale and CCC may become the purchaser of the whole or any part of the honey.
(b) When CCC takes title to honey. Upton maturity and nonpayment of the producer’s note, at CCC’s election, title to all or any part of the unredeemed honey securing the note as CCC may designate shall, without a sale thereof, immediately vest in CCC. Whenever CCC acquires title to the unredeemed honey, CCC shall have no obligation to pay for any market value which such honey may have in excess of the loan indebtedness, i.e., the unpaid amount of the note plus interest and charges.
(c) Payments to producer. Nothing herein shall preclude the making of the following payments to the producer, or to his personal representative only, without right of assignment to or substitution of any other party: (1) Any amount by which the'settlement value of the collateral honey exceeds the principal amount of the loan, or (2) the amount by which the proceedLs of sale exceed the loan indebtedness including interest and charges if the collateral honey is sold to third person? rather than CCC acquiring full title to such collateral honey.
(d) Honey sold at less than amount due on loan. If honey which CCC does not elect to take title pursuant to paragraph (b) of this section is removed by CCC from storage and is sold at less than the amount due on the loan (excluding interest), the producer shall pay to CCC the difference between the amount due on the loan and the higher of the sales proceeds or the settlement value of the honey removed by CCC, plus interest on such difference. The amount of the deficiency may be set off against any payment which would otherwise be due the producer under any agricultural program administered by the Secretary of Agriculture, or any other payments which are dues or may become due the producer from CCC, or any other agency of the United States.§ 1434.77 Support rales.
The support rate for the quality of 1964-crop honey placed under loan or acquired under lban or purchase shall be the rate for the respective class and color set forth below. An amendment to this section shall be issued annually to set forth the support rate for the then eurrent crop of honey.

Bonds of State Public School Building Authority of Pennsylvania
§ 1.136 Stale Public School Building Authority o f the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Series N Bonds.
(a) Request. The Comptroller of the Currency has been requested to rule that the $25 million School Lease Revenue Bonds, Series N, of the State Public School Building Authority of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania are eligible for purchase, dealing in, underwriting and unlimited holding by National Banks under paragraph Seventh of 12 U.S.C. 24.
(b) Opinion. (1) The State Public School Building Authority was created in 1947 by an act of the General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, as a body corporate and politic, a public corporation and a governmental instrumentality. The purpose of the Authority is the construction, improvement, maintenance, operation; furnishing and equipping of public school buildings for use as a part of the Public School System of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. In order to provide funds for this purpose, the Authority has been authorized to issue its bonds and to pledge its revenues and its full faith and credit for the payment thereof. It is not authorized, however, to pledge the credit or the taxing power of the Commonwealth or any of its school districts.
(2) The proceeds from the sale of the bonds of the Authority will be used to refund certain outstanding bonds of the Authority and for school building projects which are to be leased to School Districts of the Commonwealth. The leases will provide for payment, out of the current revenues of the School District, of annual rentals substantially in excess of the annual principal and interest requirements on the bonds. Pennsylvania law authorizes School Districts to enter into leases with the Authority and to levy ad valorem real estate taxes without limitation as to rate or amount to pay the rentals provided for in such leases. State school subsidies include reimbursement to School Districts in accordance with a statutory formula and approval procedure for a portion of the rental paid to the Authority on approved projects. The bonds will be direct and general obligations of the Authority and will be secured equally with all other bonds of the Authority, issued or to be issued, by the full faith and credit of the Authority and by the pledge of rentals payable by School Districts on projects leased from the Authority.
(3) The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania has passed favorably on the constitutionality of the Act creating tne Authority, has ruled that the curren revenues of a School District inclu e taxes for the ensuing year, State school subsidies and other revenues, and t a the long term commitment of a Schoo
FEDERAL REGISTERSaturday, April 18, 1964 5315
District to use current revenues to pay annual rentals to the Authority does not violate the municipal debt limitation of the Pennsylvania Constitution.
(4) The bonds of the Authority are the general obligations of a public authority of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The resources of the Authority include the lease rental obligations of Pennsylvania School Districts which possess .powers of general property taxation and in addition receive from the Commonwealth school subsidy payments under an established statutory program. The Commonwealth has thus made appropriate provisions and provided adequate resources for the payment of the bond obligations of its duly constituted School Building Authority and the lease rental obligations of its School Districts.
(c) Ruling. Following the principles and definitions set forth in paragraphs(d) and (e) of § 1.3 and applied in rulings on the Virginia Public School Authority and on Authorities of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (§§ 1.124, 1.125, 1.129), it is our conclusion tjiat the School Lease Revenue Bonds, Series N, of the State Public School Building Authority of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania are eligible for purchase, dealing in; underwriting and unlimited holding under paragraph Seventh of 12 U.S.C. 24.

transportation, port and terminal purposes. Only the tolls and other revenues to be derived from the sources heretofore described are pledged as security for the bonds.' The bonds do not pledge the credit of the States of Delaware or New Jersey or of any agency or political subdivision thereof and do not create a debt or liability of the States of Delaware or New Jersey or of any agency or political subdivision thereof.
(3) The subject bonds are to be issued under and secured by a trust agreement which provides for fixing and revising charges for traffic using the Authority Facilities and for the deposit of a sufficient amount of charges, over and above the amount necessary for the payment of current expenses, to a special sinking fund for debt service of all bonds issued under .the trust agreement. AU revenues derived from any other crossing facility owned and operated by the Authority will be deposited in the Revenue Fund and applied in the same manner.
(4) The Compact between the States of Delaware and New Jersey by which the Authority was created contains a covenant by which said States agree that so long as any obligations of the Authority remain outstanding and unpaid, neither of said States will authorize any structure or facility adapted for public use in crossing the Delaware River or Bay between the States within prescribed geographic boundaries by any person or body other than the Authority unless adequate provision shall be made for the protection of those advancing money upon such obligations.
(5) The First Bridge, which has been in operation since August 16, 1951, is a vital link in the heavily traveled route between New England and Washington, P.C. Net operating revenues enabled the Authority to retire by September 1963, $39,290,000 of the $48,600,000 of bonds issued to construct and improve the First Bridge. The remaining principal indebtedness of $9,310,000 was refunded by the proceeds of short term notes issued on September 16, 1963, which are due on June 15, 1964. The construction of the second structure for The Delaware Memorial Bridge is expected to result in a significant increase in revenues through the inducement of a larger traf-§c volume on The Delaware Memorial
ridge. I t is estimated that revenues from the crossing facilities of the Authority will cover principal and interest requirements from 1.51 to 1.71 times during the next ten years and from 1.71 to 2.73 times from 1974 to 2003. The earnings records and financial statements of the Authority warrant the conclusion that the subject bonds fall within § 1.5(a) and are therefore, subject to the limitation of § 1.6(a). However, bankers are reminded that they must determine on the basis of their own review whether securities are suitable for their own investment.
(c) Ruling. It is the conclusion of this Office that the above described revenue bonds of The Delaware River and Bay Authority are eligible for investment by National Banks and banks in the District of Columbia within the lim
itations of paragraph Seventh of 12 U.S.C. 24.

Chapter II— Federal Reserve SystemSUBCHAPTER A— BOARD OF GOVERNORS OF THE
FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM[Reg. R]
PART 218— RELATIONS WITH DEALERS IN SECURITIES UNDER SECTION32, BANKING ACT OF 1933
Securities Affiliate of Brokerage Firm§ 218.108 Interlocking relationship in
volving securities affiliate o f brokerage firm.
(a) The Board of Governors was asked recently whether section 32 of the Banking Act of 1933 (“section 32”), 12 U.S.C. 78, prohibits the interlocking service of X as a director of a member bank of the Federal Reserve System and as a partner in a New York City brokerage firm (“Partnership”) having a corporate affiliate (“Corporation”) engaged in business of the kinds described in section 32 (“section 32 business”) .
(b) Section 32, subject to an exception not applicable here, provides that “No officer, director, or employee of any corporation or unincorporated association, no partner or employee of any partnership, and no individual, primarily engaged in the issue, flotation, underwriting, public sale, or distribution, a t wholesale or retail, or through syndicate participation, of stocks, bonds, or other similar securities, shall serve the same time as an officer, director, or employee of any member bank * * *”.
(c) From the information submitted it appears that Partnership, a member firm of the New York Stock Exchange, is the successor of two prior partnerships, in one of which X had been a partner. This prior partnership had been found not to be “primarily engaged” in section 32 business. The other prior partnership, however, had been so engaged. By arrangement between the two prior firms, Corporation was formed chiefly for the purpose of carrying, on the section 32 business of the prior firm that had been “primarily engaged” in that business, which business was transferred to Corporation. The two prior firms were then merged, and the stock of Corporation was acquired by all the partners of Partnership, other than X, in proportion to the respective partnership interests of the stockholding partners. The information submitted indicated also that two of the three directors and “some” of the principal officers of Corporation are partners in Partnership, although X is not a director or officer of Corporation.
(d) It is understood that the practice of forming corporate affiliates of brokerage firms, in order that the affiliate may carry on the securities business (such as section 32 business) with limited liability
5316 RULES AND REGULATIONS
and other advantages, has become rather widespread in recent years. Accordingly, other cases may arise where a partner in such a firm may desire to serve at the same time as director of a member bank.
(e) On the basis of the informatimi presented, the Board concluded that X, in his capacity as an “individual”, was not engaged in section 32 business. However, as that information showed Corporation to be “priinarily engaged” in section 32 business, the Board stated that a finding that Partnership and Corporation were one entity for the purposes of the statute would mean that X would be forbidden to serve both the member bank and Partnership, if the one entity were so engaged. ,
(f) Paragraph .15 of Rule 321 of the New York Stock Exchange governing the formation and conduct of affiliated companies of member organizations states that:
Since Rule 314 provides tha t each member and allied member in a member organization must have a fixed interest in its entire business, it follows tha t the fixed interest of each member and allied member must extend to the member organization’s corporate affiliate. When any of the corporate affiliate’s participating stock is owned by the members and allied members in the member organization, such holdings must a t all times be distributed among such members and allied members in approximately the same proportions as their respective interests in the profits of the member organization. When a member or allied member’s interest in the member organization is changed, a corresponding change must be made in his participating interest in the affiliate.
(g) Although it was understood that X had received special permission from the Exchange not to own any of the stock of Corporation, it appeared to the Board that Rule 321.15 would apply to the remaining partners. Moreover, other paragraphs of the rule forbid transfers of the stock, except under certain circumstances to limited classes of persons, such as employees of the organization or estates of decedent partners, without permission of the Exchange.
(h) The information supplied to the Board clearly indicated that Corporation was formed in order to provide Partnership with an “underwriting arm”, under Rule 321 of the Exchange, the partners (other than X) are required to own stock in Corporation because of their partnership interest, would be required to surrender that stock on leaving the partnership, and incoming partners would be required to acquire such stock. Furthermore, Rule 321 speaks of a corporate affiliate, such as Corporation, as a part of the “entire business” of a member organization.
(i) On the basis of the foregoing, the Board concluded that Partnership and Corporation must be regarded as a single entity or enterprise for purposes of section 32.
(j) The remaining q u e s t i o n was whether the enterprise, as a whole, should be regarded as “primarily engaged” in section 32 business. The Information presented stated that the total dollar volume of section 32 business of Corporation during the first eleven months of its operation was $89 million.
The gross income from section 32 business was less than half a million, and represented about 7.9 percent of the income of Partnership. The Board was advised that the relatively low amount of income from section 32 business of Corporation was due to special costs, and to the condition of the market for municipal and State bonds during the past year, a field in which Corporation specializes. Corporation is listed in a standard directory of securities dealers, and holds itself out as having separate departments to deal With the principal underwriting areas in which it functions.
(k) In view of the above information, the Board concluded that the enterprise consisting of Partnership and Corporation was “primarily engaged” in section 32 business. Accordingly, the Board stated that the partners in Partnership, including X, were forbidden by that section and by this Part 218 (Reg. R ), issued pursuant to the statute, to serve as officers, directors, or employees of any member banks.(12 TJ.S.C. 78)

Alteration and Designation of Control Zones, Revocation of, Control Area Extension, Designation of Transition Areas, and Alteration and Revocation of Federal AirwaysOn August 16, 1963, a notice of pro
posed rule making was published in the F ederal R egister <28 F.R. 8416) stating that the Federal Aviation Agency (FAA) proposed to alter Federal airways and a control zone, designate a control zone and transition areas, and revoke a control area extension in the Spokane, Wash., terminal area. On January 23, 1964, a supplemental notice of proposed rule making was published amending the original proposal <29 F.R. 573).
Interested persons were afforded an opportunity to participate in the rule making through submission of comments. There were no adverse comments on the proposal as revised in the supplemental notice. v /:
The substance of the proposed amendments having been published and for the reasons stated in the notices, the following actions are taken:
1. Section 71.171 (29 F.R. HOI) [s amended as follows:
a. The Spokane, Wash., control zone is amended to read:Spokane, Wash. (International).
Within a 5-mile radius of the Spokane International Airport (latitude 47°37'35" N., longitude 117°32'05" W.), and within 2 miles each side of the Runway 21 extended center- line, extending from the 5-mile radius zone to 6 miles SW of the lift-off end of Runway 21, excluding the portion W of a line extending from latitude 47°32'45'r N., longitude 117°35'00" W., to latitude 47°40'57" N„ longitude 117°36'00'' W.

That airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface within 5 miles SE and 4 miles NW of the Pocatello ILS localizer NE course, extending from the arc of a 5-mile radius circle centered on the Pocatello Municipal Airport (latitude 42°54'35'' N., longitude 112°35'25'' W.) to 8 miles NE of the OM; within the area bounded on the W by a line 2 miles W of and parallel to the Pocatello VOR 015° radial, on the SE by a line 4 miles NW of and parallel to the Pocatello ILS localizer NE course, on the NE by the arc of a 13-mile radius circle centered on the Pocatello VOR, and. on the S by the arc of a 5-mile radius circle centered on the Pocatello Municipal Airport; and tha t airspace extending upward from 1,200 feet abqve the surface within 9 miles E and 6 miles W of the Pocatello VOR 167° radial, extending from the VOR to 18 miles S of the VOR; within 9 miles N and 8 miles S of the Pocatello VOR 252° radial, extending from the VOR to 18 miles SW of the VOR, and within 6 miles SE and 10 miles NW of the Pocatello VOR 045° radial, extending from the VOR to 27 miles NE of the VOR.(Sec. 307(a), 72 Stat. 749; 49 U.S.C. 1348)
These amendments shall become effective 0001 e.s.t., June 25,1964.
On December 12,1963, a notice of proposed rule making was published in the Federal Register (28 F.R. 13465) stating that the Federal Aviation Agency proposed to alter the control zone and transition area at Pocatello, Idaho.
Interested persons were afforded an opportunity to participate in the rule making through submission of comments. Due consideration was given to all relevant matter presented.
Subsequent to publication of the notice, it was determined that the currently effective Pocatello ADF-1 instrument approach procedure would require an additional control zone extension or a realignment of the inbound course ten degrees counterclockwise if the straight- in approach capability is to be retained. The Air Transport Association of America opposed the implementation of this proposal unless action is taken to retain the straight-in approach capability for the ADF-1 procedure. Action is being taken to realign the inbound course of the ADF-l instrument approach procedure. This requires a slight increase in the size of the 700 and the 1,200 foot transition areas to protect the final approach area and the procedure turn area. The description of the Pocatello transition area as proposed is altered herein to include the necessary additional controlled airspace.
The substance of the proposed amendments having been published and for the reasons stated herein and in the notice, the following actions are taken:

Revocation of Federal Airway Segments and Alteration of Transition AreaOn January 14, 1964, a notice of pro
posed rule making was published in the F ederal R egister (29 F.R. 324) stating that the Federal Aviation Agency (FAA) was considering an amendment to Part 71 [New] of the Federal Aviation Regulations by revoking a segment of VOR
, Federal airway No. 79 from Fort Stock- ton, Tex., to Hobbs, N. Mex.
Interested persons were afforded an opportunity to participate in the rule making through submission of comments but no comments were received.
Subsequent to publication of the notice, it was determined that the Midland, Tex., transition area is bounded in part by Victor 79. Action is taken herein to substitute geographical coordinates for Victor 79 in the description of the transition area. In addition, Victor 79 west alternate is codesignated with VOR Federal airway No. 102 between Hobbs and Lubbock, Tex. This airway segment traverses Reese No. 2, Intensive Student Jet Training Area and was designated for continuity with Victor 79 to provide a shorter route from Fort Stockton to Lubbock when Reese No. 2, Intensive Student Jet Training Area was not in
use. Since this segment of Victor 79 west alternate would no longer serve the purpose for which it was designated and since Victor 102$ will continue to serve this route between Hobbs and Lubbock, action is taken herein to revoke the segment of Victor 79 west alternate from Hobbs to Lubbock.
Since the alteration of the Midland transition area is editorial in nature and the revocation of Victor 79 west alternate is minor in nature and will not involve the assignment of airspace, and since neither change will impose an undue burden on any person, notice and public procedure hereon are unnecessary.
In consideration of the foregoing, the following actions are taken:
1. In § 71.123 (29 F.R. 1009) the following change is made: V-79 is altered to read:V-79 From Hobbs, N. Mex., via the INT of
Hobbs 077° and Lubbock, Tex., 188° radials; to Lubbock.
2. Section 71.181 (29 F.R. 1160) is amended as follows: In the Midland, Tex., transition area “extending from the W boundary of V-79” is deleted and “extending W from a line between latitude 32°06'45" N., longitude 103°07'50" W., and latitude 32°15'35" N., longitude 103°07'00" W.” is substituted therefor.

ECONOMIC PROCEEDINGSPrehearing Subpena Power of Hearing
ExaminersApril 14,1964.
Adopted by the Civil Aeronautics Board at its office in Washington, D.C„ on the 14th day of April 1964.
Recommendation 30 of the Administrative Conference of the United States recommends that each Federal agency provide for discovery in adjudicatory proceedings “to the extent and in the manner appropriate to its proceedings.” The Board has reviewed its rules and practices in economic proceedings in the light of this recommendation and has concluded that the prehearing conference, outlined in § 302.23, provides the most effective and appropriate means, for revelation of facts by the parties before formal hearing in an economic proceeding.
Therefore, the existing provisions for discovery of documentary evidence are
being clarified by spelling out the examiner’s authority to issue subpenas for production of documents prior to hearing as an adjunct of the prehearing conference. The examiner already has express authority to compel the production of documents at a hearing, under § 302.19, but a party seeking documents for discovery purposes prior to hearing must resort to the motion procedure of § 302.18 for the issuance of a subpena under the general powers conferred upon examiners by § 302.22.
This amendment is not intended to affect the procedure for obtaining documents in the Board’s custody, although the motion procedure prescribed in § 302.19(g) is limited to the production of documents at hearings. The provisions of § 302.19(g) are therefore being made applicable to production of Board documents prior to hearing as well.
Minor editorial changes in the present language of the section are also being made.
Since this amendment is a rule of procedure that merely affirms and standardizes existing practice and is not in derogation of the rights of any person, notice and public procedure hereon are not required and the regulation may become effective upon less than 30 days’ notice.
Accordingly, the Board hereby amends § 302.23(a) of Part 302 of the Procedural Regulations (14 CFR 302.23(a)), effective April 18, 1964, to read as follows:§ 302.23 Prehearing conference.
(a) Purpose and scope of conference. Prior to any hearings there will ordinarily be a prehearing conference before an examiner, although in economic enforcement proceedings where the issues are drawn by the pleadings such conference will usually be omitted. Written notice of the prehearing conference shall be sent by the chief examiner to all parties to a proceeding and to other persons who appear to have an interest in such proceeding. The purpose of such a con- ference is to define and simplify the issues and the scope of the proceeding, to secure statements of the positions of the parties with respect thereto and amendments to the pleadings in conformity therewith, to schedule the exchange of exhibits before the date set for hearing, and to arrive at such agreements as will aid in the conduct and disposition of the proceeding. For example, consideration will be given to: (1) Matters which the Board can consider without the necessity of proof; (2) admissions of fact and of the genuineness of documents; (3) requests for documents; (4) admissibility of evidence; (5) limitation of the number of witnesses; (6) reducing of oral testimony to exhibit form; (7) procedure a t the hearing, etc. The examiner may require further conference, or responsive pleadings, or both. If a party refuses to produce documents requested by another party at the conference, the examiner may compel the production of such documents prior to hearing by subpena issued in accordance with the provisions of § 302.19 as though at a hearing. Applications for the production prior to hearing of documents in the Board’s posses
sion shall be addressed to the examiner, in accordance with the provisions of § 302.19(g), in the same manner as provided therein for production of documents at a hearing. The examiner may also on his own motion or on motion of any party direct any party to the proceeding (air carrier or non-air carrier) to prepare and submit exhibits setting forth studies, forecasts, or estimates on matters relevant to the issues in the proceeding.

regulations of the Administrator to include an airworthiness directive requiring rework of the stabilizer and spoiler position transmitter shaft crank arms or replacement with modified crank arms and modification of the clamping bolt assemblies on Boeing Models 707 and 720 Series aircraft was published in 29 F.R. 107.
Interested persons have been afforded an opportunity to participate in the making of the amendment. One comment contended that the m anufacturer’s alert service bulletin adequately covered the correction of excessive grip length on bolts installed in the clamping position on the stabilizer and spoiler position transmitter arms. Therefore it was recommended that the compliance time for this AD be increased to coincide with the overhaul time of the airplane or ifa shorter compliance time is necessary, to 1,000 hours’ time in service after the effective date of this AD for those airplanes on which the alert service bulletin has been previously accomplished. However, the possibility of binding during installation still exists even after compliance with the alert service bulletin unless the bolt holes are enlarged as required by the service bulletin referenced in this AD. Accordingly, the compu- ance time for this AD has not been increased to coincide with the time of ai - plane overhaul. However, the Agen y believes that merely increasing the compliance time to 1,000 hours ^ this stance would not compromise safety an“ the AD has been revised to incorporate this increase in the compliance tune.
In con sid era tio n o f th e foregoing^ , p u rsu a n t to th e a u th ority m e by th e A d m in istrator (25 § 507.10(a) of Part 507 (14 CFR Pa

Series aircraft, Serial Numbers 17586 through 17612, 17614 through 17652, 17658 through 17690, 17692 through17724, 17903 through 17905, 17907through 17930, 18012 through 18037, 18041 through 18050, 18054 through 18087, 18154 through 18167, 18240through 18246, 18248 through 18251, 18334 through 18339, 18351 through 18357, 18372 through 18397, 18400through 18404, 18406 through 18408, 18411 and 18412, 18414 through 18425, 18451 through 18457, 18460 and 18461.
Compliance required within 1,000 hours’ time in service after the effective data of this AD, unless already accomplished.
To prevent slippage of the crank arms on the shafts of the respective stabilizer and spoiler position transmitters, and to prevent rotation of the position transmitter in its bracket, rework the crank arms or replace with modified crank arms, and add a washer under the nut of each clamping bolt in accordance with the Modification Data (PRR 15506) of Boeing Service Bulletin No. 1836 or PAA-approved equivalent.
(Boeing Service Bulletin No. 1836 covers this same subject.)
This amendment shall become effective May 19,1964.(Secs. 313(a), 601, 603; 72 Stat. 752, 775, 776; 49 U.S.C. 1354(a), 1421, 1423)
regulations of the Administrator to include an airworthiness directive requiring inspection of the joint fittings and the welds between the bearing bracket for the airbrake flap cross shaft lever and fuselage main frame on Schleicher Models Ka-6 and K-8 gliders, and replacement or modification if cracks are found was published in 29 F.R. 2651.

TRANSITION AREAProposed Designation; AlterationIn a notice of proposed rule making
published in the F ederal R egister on December 12,1963 (28 F.R. 13462), it was stated, in part, that the Federal Aviation Agency proposed to designate a transition area a t Houghton, Mich.
Subsequent to the publication of the notice, it was determined by the Federal Aviation Agency that the designation of a 700-foot floor transition area northeast of the Houghton VOR would be required, in addition to the 1,200-foot floor area proposed in the notice, if existing Houghton County Memorial Airport instrument approach landing minimums were to be retained. The recommendation for only a 1,200-foot floor area was predicated on raising the procedure turn altitudes of prescribed Houghton County Airport VOR instrument approach procedures to more than 1,500 feet above the surface. However, it was later determined that in raising these procedure turn altitudes the established straight-in landing minimums would no longer be applicable. Accordingly, the notice is hereby amended to describe, as a portion of the proposed Houghton transition area, that airspace extending upward ¡from 700 feet above the surface within 5 miles southeast and 8 miles northwest of the Houghton VOR 060° radial extending from the VOR to 12 miles northeast. This would provide the necessary additional protection below the floor of the proposed 1,200-foot transition area and outside of the control zone for aircraft executing the AL-896-VORr-RWY 25 procedure at the Houghton County Memorial Airport.
In order to provide interested persons time to adequately evaluate this proposal, as modified herein, and an opportunity to submit additional written data, views or arguments, the date for filing such material is extended to 30 days after publication of this supplemental notice in the F ederal R egister.
Communications should be submitted to the Director, Central Region, Attn: Chief, Air Traffic Division, Federal Avia
tion Agency, 4825 Troost Avenue, Kansas City, Mo., 64110.
This amendment is proposed under section 307(a) of the Federal Aviation Act of 1958 (72 Stat. 749; 49 U.S.C. 1348).

Proposed AlterationNotice is hereby given that the Fed
eral Aviation Agency is considering amendments to Fart 71 [New] of the Federal Aviation Regulations, the substance of which is stated below.
The following is a portion of the controlled airspace which will be designated in the area comprising the greater Pe- oria/Bloomington, 111., terminal area effective May 28, 1964 (Airspace Docket No. 63-CE-78).
1. The Peoria control zone will be designated to comprise that airspace within a 5-mile radius of the Greater Peoria Airport; within 2 miles each side of the Peoria VORTAC 091° radial, extending from the 5-mile radius zone to the VORTAC, and within 2 miles each side of the Greater Peoria Airport ILS localizer southeast course, extending from the 5- mile radius zone to the OM; and within 2 miles each side of the ILS localizer northwest course, extending from the 5- mile radius zone to 6 miles northwest of the airport.
2. A part of the Peoria, 111., transition area effective May 28, 1964, extending upward from 700 feet above the surface reads “within 2 miles each side of the Greater Peoria Airport ILS localizer northwest course, extending from the 8-mile radius area to 14 miles northwest of the airport”.
The Federal Aviation Agency has under consideration the following airspace actions:
1. Alter the Peoria transition area by revoking the portion described above.
2. Alter the Peoria control zone by increasing the northwest extension within 2 miles each side of the ILS localizer northwest course extending from the 5-mile radius zone to 11 miles northwest of the airport.
The instrument approach procedure utilizing the back course of the ILS at Greater Peoria was revised subsequent to designation of the Peoria transition area in Airspace Docket No. 63-CE-78. The revised procedure permits descent to less

that 1,000 feet above the surface within 11 miles of the airport. A control zone extension is, therefore, necessary to protect aircraft executing the revised procedure. This action would increase the length of the northwest control zone extension by 5 miles while eliminating the portion of the 700-foot transition area which extends from the airport to 14 miles northwest.
Interested persons may submit such written data, views or arguments as they may desire. Communications should be submitted in triplicate to the Director, Central Region, Attn: Chief, Air Traffic Division, Federal Aviation Agency, 4825 Troost Avenue, Kansas City, Mo., 64110.

No public hearing is contemplated at this time, but arrangements for informal conferences with Federal Aviation Agency officials may be made by contacting the Regional Air Traffic Division Chief, or the Chief, Airspace Regulations and Procedures Division, Federal Aviation Agency, Washington, D.C., 20553. Any data, views or arguments presented during such conferences must also be submitted in writing in accordance with this notice in order to become part of the record for consideration..

The Federal Aviation Agency (FAA) is considering amendments to Part 71 [New] and Part 75 [New] of the Federal Aviation Regulations, the substance of which is stated below.
Jet Route No. 58 is presently designated in part from the Stockton, Calif., VORTAC via the Tonopah, Nev., VOR; intersection of the Tonopah VOR 083° and the Bryce Canyon, Utah, VOR 289° radials; to the Bryce Canyon VOR. Jet Route No. 80 is presently designated in part from the Stockton VORTAC via the Tonopah VOR; to the Milford, Utah, VORTAC. The FAA proposes to re
align these segments via the Coaldale, Nev., and the Wilson Creek, VOR's. Such action would provide more precise navigational guidance on these jet route segments. The Coaldale VOR would be designated as a compulsory reporting point but there would be no requirement for designation of the Wilson Creek VOR as a compulsory reporting point. The Tonopah VOR would be eliminated from use in the jet route structure and would no longer be designated as a compulsory reporting point.
If such action is taken, J-58 would be designated in part as follows: From the Stockton VORTAC via the Coaldale VOR; Wilson Creek VOR; to the Bryce Canyon VOR. J-80 would be designated in part as follows: From the Stockton VORTAC via the Coaldale VOR; Wilson Creek VOR; to the Milford VORTAC.

Adopted by the Civil Aeronautics Board a t its office in Washington, D.C., on the 14th day of April 1964.
Westbound general commodity rates of Braniff Airways, Inc., Continental Air Lines, Inc., Delta Air Lines, Inc., The Slick Corporation; Docket No. 15079.
By Orders E-20571 of March 12,1964, and E-20595 of March 20, 1964, the Board instituted an investigation of current and proposed general commodity rates of American Airlines, Inc., Braniff Airways, Inc. (Braniff), Delta Air Lines, Inc. (Delta), The Flying Tiger Line Inc., Trans World Airlines, Inc., and United Air Lines, Inc., in numerous markets because of their relatively low level (Docket 15079).
Continental Air Lines, Inc., and The Slick Corporation also have in eff ect general commodity rates in a number of the same markets. In addition, in several of these markets Braniff and Delta,, which are already parties to the investigation, have general commodity rates that were not embraced in Docket 15079. Most of the foregoing rates are identical to rates already under investigation. We are adding these rates to the investigation for the same reasons for which wenstituted Docket 15079. Other of these •ates are higher than the rates in the :ame markets under investigation. We ire expanding the investigation to indude these rates - in order that the Board’s decision will cover all the general jommodity rates in the markets involved. % 7 C
The foregoing rates that we are setting :or investigation involve only local rates (covering movements over the individual jarriers for which they are in effect), rhe Board is not adding joint rates m ;he same markets, which apply to move- nents over two or more carriers, in order jo keep the investigation from becoming inwieldy. However, we contemplate ;hat the Board’s, decision will contain a *ule of construction that will protect the
being undercut by joint rates.In addition, we are amending our prior
order (E-20571 and Appendix A thereto) by deleting three short-haul markets that are not relevant to this i vestigation.

1. The Review Board has before it for consideration a petition to enlarge issues, filed February 4, 1964, by the Broadcast Bureau, and related pleadings.1 The Bureau requests the addition of a contingent standard comparative issue as between the two standard broadcast applications.
2. In support of its request, the Bureau states that neither of the communities involved in this proceeding has its own standard broadcast station; that the population of the two communities is substantially the same;_that although, Dorlen’s proposal would serve more persons than would Charles’ proposal, these additional persons already receive a minimum of seven services; and th a t the presence of an FM station in Dorlen’s community does not eliminate the need for a first standard broadcast station. These basic facts, the Bureau maintains, do not permit a meaningful choice to be made on the basis of section 307(b) considerations alone. As good cause for the late filing of its request, the Bureau states that a determination that section 307(b) considerations would not be decisional could not be made until all the evidence was carefully evaluated.
3. Both Charles and Dorlen, the applicants in this proceeding, oppose the Bureau’s petition. First, they allege that the Bureau is asking the Review Board to decide th a t section 307(b) considerations would not be decisive. This, 'they maintain, would be a usurpation of the Examiner’s function. Second, both maintain that a choice can be made on the basis of section 307<b) considerations. Charles offers no explanation in support of its position, and Dorlen argues that the 307(b) choice can be rested upon the fact that its proposal will serve more people. Third, they state that if the requested issue is added, there will necessarily be a long delay in the proceeding to gather and adduce evidence. Fourth, they assert that the Bureau’s petition is untimely and that no good cause has been shown. /
4. The Bureau, in its reply, asserts that it is asking for a contingent issue and thus that the Review Board will not be deciding the section 307 (b) issue but only concluding that there is a possibility that a section 307(b) choice cannot be made. Further, the Bureau alleges that a delay will not necessarily occur because the requested issue is contingent and so it will be up to the Examiner whether or not to Adduce evidence on it.
5. The applicants’ contention that the Bureau is in legal effect requesting the Review Board to decide that 307(b) considerations alone will not permit a choice to be made between the two applicants closes a basic misunderstanding of the scope and purpose of the contingent standard comparative issue. Its basic
1Also before the Board are; opposition, filed February 17, 1964, by Charles County Broadcasting Co., Inc. (Charles) ; opposition, filed February 18, 1964, by Dorlen Broadcasters, Inc. (Dorlen) ; statement in support of Broadcast Bureau’s petition, filed February 17, 1964, by WPGC, Inc.; opposition to supporting statement, filed February 28, 1964, by Charles; and reply, filed February 28, 1964, by the Broadcast Bureau.
purpose is to avoid the very prejudgment of the 307(b) issue that the applicants complain is inherent in the Bureau’s request. See Rockland Broadcasting Co., FCC 62-577, 23 RR 789 (1962), Instead, as is pointed out in Rockland, it “leaves to the Hearing Examiner the responsibility of determining, after the evidence under the 307(b) issue has been adduced, whether a determination may be made solely on the basis of 307(b) considerations or whether it would be appropriate to adduce evidence under the contingent standard comparative issue.” As is further pointed out in Rockland, the Examiner may request briefs and hold oral argument before deciding whether to hear evidence under the contingent standard comparative issue; should there be a substantial doubt as to whether 307(b) considerations alone would be determinative, evidence under the contingent standard comparative issue should be adduced.
8. I t is thus clear from the Rockland case that the inclusion of the contingent standard comparative issue does not constitute a prejudgment by the Commission that 307(b) considerations alone will not be determinative. I t is likewise clear that in adding the contingent standard comparative issue in Rockland, the Commission did not intend to prejudge the 307(b) issue. For these reasons, the applicants’ contention that the Bureau is in effect requesting a prejudgment of the 307(b) issue is rejected. As we understand the petition, all that the Bureau is saying is that, on the basis of the facts alleged by it, 307(b) considerations alone may not be determinative, and that the contingent standard comparative issue should be added as an additional tool which the Rearing Examiner may use in the event he should agree with the Bureau.
7. The question presented to the Board by the Bureau’s petition is whether in
- the light of 307(b) facts alleged in the pleadings before us the contingent standard comparative issue should be added; resolution of this question turns upon whether there is a sufficient possibility of a need to resort to the contingent standard comparative issue as to warrant its addition. The Bureau’s 307(b) allegations, summarized in paragraph 2 above, support its view that 307(b) considerations alone may not be determinative and that resort to the contingent standard comparative issue may become necessary. Dorlen’s contrary view, based upon thé argument that it will be preferred under the 307(b) issue, is not sufficiently persuasive to conclude that the need for the contingent issue is so remote that its addition is not warranted.
8. One final m atter remains, viz., the untimeliness of the Bureau’s petition. The Review Board shares the view of Charles and Dorlen as to the desirability of the early filing of petitions to enlarge. On the other hand, the Review Board cannot dismiss as without substance the Bureau’s plea that not until proposed findings and conclusions were being prepared did* it become evident that 307 (b) considerations alone would hot be determinative; in many instances, tentative determinations based upon an
5326 NOTICESoverview of the entire record undergo substantial modifications in the writing of the decision. Unlike other issues, the addition of the contingent standard comparative issue a t this time will not necessarily cause an additional delay in the ultimate conclusion of this proceeding. Thus, if the Hearing Examiner determines that he can decide this case on 307 (b) considerations alone, a grant of the Bureau’s petition, notwithstanding its untimeliness, will not result in any substantial delay in the proceeding. If, on the other hand, this case cannot be decided on 307(b) considerations alone, the addition of the issue a t the present time would avoid the possibility of a remand, with its attendant delay, for further hearing on the standard comparative issue. Only if the contingent issue is added, and the Hearing Examiner erroneously determines that evidence under this issue must be adduced, would the addition of the issue unnecessarily prolong the hearing. However, this is a matter which the Commission has, in Rockland Broadcasting, supra, entrusted to the discretion of the Examiner.
Accordingly, it is ordered, This 13th day of April 1964, that the petition to enlarge issues, filed February 4, 1964, by the Broadcast Bureau, is granted, and the issues in this proceeding are enlarged by the addition of the following issue:
To determine, in the event it is concluded that a choice between the instant applications cannot be made upon considerations relating to section 307(b), which of the operations proposed in the above-captioned standard broadcast applications would better serve the public interest in the light of the evidence adduced pursuant to the foregoing issues and the record made with respect to the significant differences between the applicants as to:
<i) The background and experience of each having a bearing on the applicant's ability to own and operate the proposed station;
(ii) The proposals of each of the instant applicants with respect to the management and operation of the proposed station;
(iii) The programming service proposed in each of the instant applications.

In re application of Verne M. Miller, Crystal Bay, Nevada, Docket No. 14841, File No. BP-14706; for construction permit.
1. B.B.C. Inc. (KCBN), Reno, Nevada, a party respondent in the above-entitled proceeding, requests an enlargement of issues to determine whether the proposal of Verne M. Miller would serve primarily a particular city, town, political subdivision, or community as contemplated by I 73.30(a) of the Commission’s rules.1
2. In support of its request, KCBN contends that it learned of the nature of the community from the petition to intervene filed by Robert Sherman (KHOE), Truckee, California,; that it has made an independent study; and that an applicant for a new station must establish that the location it has applied for is a particular city, town, political subdivision, or community and is 'n o t permitted to rely on areas which are identified with other locations, citing Seven Locks Broadcasting Co.; FCC 62-140, 22 RR 967 (1962); Denbigh Broadcasting Co., 28 FCC 393, 18 RR 449 (1960>. KCBN states that its investigation reveals that Crystal Bay'has no-iocal government, churches, schools, fraternal or civic organizations, banks, hospital, or newspapers, that it has only 144 resident telephone listings, that Crystal Bay “settlement” is principally one of motels and summer homes, and that the few permanent residents look to other locations for education, religion, shopping, and other facets of ordinary community life. It further states that the applicant admits in its opposition to a motion to enlarge issues filed Februray 17,1964, that Crystal Bay is not a city but a residential resort community having neither a busi-
i The Review Board has before i t for consideration (a) a motion to enlarge issues filed February 25, 1964 by B.B.C. Inc. (KCBN); (b) a response of Broadcast Bureau filed. March 10, 1964; (c) an opposition to motion to enlarge issues, filed March 11, 1964, by Verne_M. Miller; and (d) a reply to opposition to motion to enlarge issues filed March 18,T964, by B.B.C. Inc.
ness nor factory area. As good cause for filing its petition at this time, KCBN contends that the need for the issue did not become apparent until KHOE filed its '■ petition to intervene on January 24,1964 1
3. The Broadcast Bureau supports the motion, stating that the cumulative ef- -i feet of the allegations contained In these : pleadings raises serious doubts as to whether Crystal Bay is in fact a “com-1 munity” within the purview of § 73.30(a) l of the rules. I t cites Mercer Broadcasting Co., 22 FCC 1009, 13 RR 891 (1957); ' North Atlanta Broadcasting Company FCC 63R-450,1 RR 2d 275 (1963).
4. In opposition, Miller argues that KCBN has not shown good cause for filing its petition late; that, the fact that KCBN.admits that it* made no study of Crystal Bay until prompted by the allegation of another party is reason enough to dehy its petition; and that no explanation was given why the alleged facts were not independently ascertained at an earlier date. Miller contends that the Commission has consistently held that the excuse of a petitioner that certain facts only recently came to its attention, when it had not made an independent search o t its own where the facts alleged have existed for any length of time, is not reason enough to enlarge issues pursuant to an untimely request, eiting Alkima Broadcasting Co. FCC 59-926, 18 RR 993 (1959) ; Florida Gulfcoast Broadcasters; Inc., FCC 59-573, 18 RR 631 (1959). Miller urges that there is no basis for questioning the ability of applicant’s proposal to meet the rule; that Crystal Bay is in fact the hub of the North Lake Tahoe area; that two similar unincorporated communities in the same area have licensed radio stations;that year round population of Crystal Bay is 500 and it increases to 2500 during tourist season; that Crystal Bay has its own telephone exchange and a post office; and that these facts establish the .compliance of applicant’s proposal with- § 75.30(a).
5. The Review Board is not persuaded that KCBN had good cause for the late filing of its petition. However, the petitioner’s allegations raise a sufficiently serious problem to warrant enlargement of the issues on the Board’s own motion. The objective facts alleged by petitioner tend to show that Crystal Bay does not have the usual indicia of a community. While Miller has alleged facts which tend to support a contrary conclusion, it is the judgment of the Review Board that the question of whether Crystal Bay isa community should be determined on tne basis of an evidentiary record rather than on the basis of allegations in interlocutory pleadings. .
Accordingly, it is ordered, This 7th a y of April 1964, that the motion to enlarge issues filed by B.B.C., Inc., Reno, Nevada, February 25,1964, is denied; and
I t is further ordered, On the Boar own motion, that the Commission Order (FCC 62-1165) , released November 13, 1962, is amended by the additio of the following issue: > , f
