Re: Freedom oflnformation Act Request FOIA Control No. 2007-237

On March 26, 2007 you filed a request, submitted under the Freedom oflnformation Act ("FOIA"), in which you sought copies of "Each response letter received from a licensee as a result of the 42 Letters of Inquiry sent to 77 broadcast licensees regarding video news releases, as described in an FCC Press Release issued August 14, 2006 ... ; a copy of the report produced as a result of the abovementioned investigation; [and] any memo describing licensees that did not respond to the Letter ofInquiry." On April 23, 2007 you modified your request to "utilize only your first two hours of free search time" and to seek "ONLY the cover letters from the respondants to the FCC letters of inquiry."

We have located 27 pages of documents responsive to your request, copies of which are enclosed. We have redacted information from those documents, where necessary, to protect individuals' personal privaci and when release of the redacted information might compromise our adduction of additional evidence in this on-going investigation.2 With respect to the former, we have redacted the names and room numbers of Commission staff because, as the court observed in Nix v. United States, 572 F.2d 998, 1006 (4th Cir. 1978), "[p]ublic identification of

any of thesc individuals could conceivably subject them to harassment and annoyance in the conduct of their official duties and in their private lives." With respect to the latter, we have redacted material describing the evidentiary submissions and substantive arguments of the respondents because public release would be reasonably likely to interfere with the ongoing investigation by providing that infoffimtion to potential future respondents and, thus, influencing future responses to the Commission's inquiries regarding this continuing investigation.

If you believe this to be a denial of your request, you may file an application for review with the FCC's Office of General Counsel within thirty (30) days of the date of this letter. 47 C.F.R. §§ 0.461(1) and 1.115. lfyou have further questions, please feel free to call Judy Lancaster at (202) 418-7584.

REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT NOT FOR PUBLIC INSPECTION

VIA HAND DELIVERY

Ms. Marlene H. Dortch, Secretary Federal Communications Commission 445 12th Street, S.W. Washington, D.C. 20554

Re: REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT File No. EB-06-IH-2716

Dear Ms. Dortch:

KASA License Subsidiary, LLC ("KASA"), a subsidiary of Ray com Media, Inc. (hRaycom"), requests confidential treatment, pursuant to Section 0.459 of the Commission's Rules, for the documents included in Exhibit 13 to KASA's response to the Enforcement Bureau's August 11,2006 Letter of Inquiry seeking information about KASA's broadcast of a Fox News feature in its 9 p.m. newscast of June 10,2005.

Section 0.459 provides that public disclosure of materials submitted to the Commission is not required where, as here, "the materials contain trade secrets or commercial, financial or technical data which would customarily be guarded from competitors:' In conformity with Section 0.459(b), the following is submitted:

2. This information is submitted as a part ofKASA's response to the Enforcement Bureau's August I J, 2006 Letter of Inquiry in File No. EB-06-1H-27 I 6.

3. The documents in Exhibit 13 contain proprietary commercial and financial information concerning private arrangements for the production of news programming aired on KASA's television station.

Page 9: Cover letters from respondents to Letters of Inquiry … · Description of document: Cover letters from respondents to Letters of Inquiry sent to 77 broadcast licensees regarding

COVINGTON & BURLING LLF

KASA License Subsidiary, LLC Request for Confidential Treatment File No. EB-06-IH-2716 Page 2

4. All of this information concerns a service that is subject to competition. KASA provides news programming services to viewers and advertisers in a market in which it competes with other broadcast television stations, as well as radio stations, cable channels, and other entities. KASA also awarded its contract to produce news programming on a competitive basis, and Raycom is likely in the future to award news programming contracts competitively.

5. Because KASA . s news contract, like other news contracts that Raycom may award in the future. was awarded on a competitive and negotiated basis, the public disclosure of the specific linancial and commercial terms ofKASA's news production agreement would materially prejudice Raycom in future news production negotiations. Public disclosure would therefore cause Raycom substantial and unwarranted competitive harm.

6. The information in Exhibit 13 contains data regarding the financial and commercial terms ofKASA's news production agreements, which information is customarily considered proprietary and held conlidential.

7. To KASA's knowledge. this confidential information is not presently available to the public and has not previously been provided to third parties.

8. The linancial and commercial terms of the news production agreement are not relevant to the instant inquiry. Accordingly, the public interest will not be furthered by public disclosure of these documents. KASA requests that the information in Exhibit 13 be withheld from public disclosure for an indefinite period or, in the alternative. for five years. KASA believes that a five-year period would render the information contained in the submission sufficiently dated as to substantially reduce the competitive harms associated with disclosure.

For the foregoing reasons. KASA respectfully requests that the Commission accord conlldential treatment of the enclosed submission. Please contact us if you have any questions regarding this request.

Respectfully submitted,

~;:.~ Robert M. Sherman
