In the early hours after major news events, YouTube will start putting short previews of news in its search results that link to the full article in an effort to provide more sources and context, Chief Product Officer Neal Mohan and Chief Business Officer Robert Kyncl blogged Monday. They said the Alphabet/Google affiliate will expand testing of features that make it easier to access local news via the YouTube app for TV screens, bringing it to more U.S. markets. Information from third parties such as Wikipedia and Encyclopaedia Britannica will start being displayed alongside videos "on a small number of well-established historical and scientific topics that have often been subject to misinformation, like the moon landing and the Oklahoma City Bombing," wrote the two: Initial members of a related working group include Vox Media, Brazilian radio network Jovem Pan and India Today.

The Federal Aviation Administration Reauthorization Act to let unmanned aircraft systems carry property commercially wouldn't undercut state discretion over privacy and local land use, the Small UAV Coalition wrote Senate Commerce Committee members Tuesday. State and local organizations oppose the portion of S-1405 that would allow commercial carrying. The Small UAV Coalition argued the provision wouldn't conflict with the UAS integration pilot program, which it said ensures state and local discretion.

Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh is likely to raise the bar for FCC regulations if confirmed, attorneys said after President Donald Trump nominated the appellate judge Monday evening to replace retiring Justice Anthony Kennedy (see 1807090060). Not only would Kavanaugh be expected to seek to rein in Chevron deference to agency expertise, but he also is seen as a strong advocate of industry First Amendment free-speech rights, based on his lengthy record at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit (see 1807040001). He believes broadband is a Communications Act Title I information service, not a Title II telecom service subject to common-carrier regulation. Some on Capitol Hill and among communications groups oppose the nominee.

The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service is proposing a new de minimis exemption from Lacey Act declaration requirements for importers. Under the proposed rule, importers would not have to submit declarations for products with minimal amounts of plant material. The agency is considering setting thresholds based on either weight or volume at either the product or entry line level. APHIS is also proposing to codify certain declaration requirements in its regulations, including a deadline of three days after importation for the submission of declarations, and seeks comments on a separate exemption for composite wood products. Comments on both exemptions are due Sept. 7.

Consumer groups and others backed a request that the FCC stay tribal restrictions in the Lifeline low-income subsidy program, pending judicial review of their legal challenges to an order released Dec. 1. "This is a reasonable and modest request to temporarily delay the implementation of the drastic changes to the Tribal Lifeline program until the conclusion of the review sought by Joint Petitioners in the United States Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit," said the Benton Foundation, Common Cause, Free Press, Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, NAACP, National Consumer Law Center, National Hispanic Media Coalition, Native Public Media, Next Century Cities, Public Knowledge and six others, filing Tuesday in docket 17-287 supporting the petition of Lifeline providers and tribal group (see 1806250032). "Residents of Tribal lands are at risk of consumer confusion, at best, and loss of phone and broadband service, at worst, if the Commission’s ... [tribal Lifeline order] were to take effect while the court appeal is pending. We are further concerned that the Commission failed in its obligation to engage in government-to-government Tribal consultations with regard to this proposal that will have such a dramatic impact on Indian country, per the Commission’s own long-established procedure."
