For the purpose of regulating interstate and foreign commerce in communication by wire and radio so as to make available, so far as possible, to all the people of the United States, without discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, or sex, a rapid, efficient, Nation-wide, and world-wide wire and radio communication service with adequate facilities at reasonable charges, for the purpose of the national defense, for the purpose of promoting safety of life and property through the use of wire and radio communications, and for the purpose of securing a more effective execution of this policy by centralizing authority heretofore granted by law to several agencies and by granting additional authority with respect to interstate and foreign commerce in wire and radio communication, there is created a commission to be known as the “Federal Communications Commission”, which shall be constituted as hereinafter provided, and which shall execute and enforce the provisions of this chapter.

The Congress makes the following findings and declarations:
(1) Many of the drugs included within this subchapter have a useful and legitimate medical purpose and are necessary to maintain the health and general welfare of the American people.
(2) The illegal importation, manufacture, distribution, and possession and improper use of controlled substances have a substantial and detrimental effect on the health and general welfare of the American people.
(3) A major portion of the traffic in controlled substances flows through interstate and foreign commerce. Incidents of the traffic which are not an integral part of the interstate or foreign flow, such as manufacture, local distribution, and possession, nonetheless have a substantial and direct effect upon interstate commerce because—
(A) after manufacture, many controlled substances are transported in interstate commerce,
(B) controlled substances distributed locally usually have been transported in interstate commerce immediately before their distribution, and
(C) controlled substances possessed commonly flow through interstate commerce immediately prior to such possession.
(4) Local distribution and possession of controlled substances contribute to swelling the interstate traffic in such substances.
(5) Controlled substances manufactured and distributed intrastate cannot be differentiated from controlled substances manufactured and distributed interstate. Thus, it is not feasible to distinguish, in terms of controls, between controlled substances manufactured and distributed interstate and controlled substances manufactured and distributed intrastate.
(6) Federal control of the intrastate incidents of the traffic in controlled substances is essential to the effective control of the interstate incidents

TITLE 47—TELECOMMUNICATIONS
§ 312a
(e) Procedure for issuance of cease and desist
order
The provisions of section 558(c) of title 5 which
apply with respect to the institution of any pro-
ceeding for the revocation of a license or permit
shall apply also with respect to the institution,
under this section, of any proceeding for the
issuance of a cease and desist order.
(f) ‘‘Willful’’ and ‘‘repeated’’ defined
For purposes of this section:
(1) The term ‘‘willful’’, when used with ref-

act, means the conscious and deliberate com-
mission or omission of such act, irrespective
of any intent to violate any provision of this
chapter or any rule or regulation of the Com-
mission authorized by this chapter or by a
treaty ratified by the United States.
(2) The term ‘‘repeated’’, when used with ref-
erence to the commission or omission of any
act, means the commission or omission of
such act more than once or, if such commis-
sion or omission is continuous, for more than
one day.
(g) Limitation on silent station authorizations
If a broadcasting station fails to transmit
broadcast signals for any consecutive 12-month
period, then the station license granted for the
operation of that broadcast station expires at
the end of that period, notwithstanding any pro-
vision, term, or condition of the license to the
contrary, except that the Commission may ex-
tend or reinstate such station license if the
holder of the station license prevails in an ad-
ministrative or judicial appeal, the applicable
law changes, or for any other reason to promote
equity and fairness. Any broadcast license re-
voked or terminated in Alaska in a proceeding
related to broadcasting via translator, micro-
wave, or other alternati
