	Criminal Resource Manual 2054 Synopsis of Classified Information Procedures Act (CIPA)
		CIPA is a procedural statute; it neither adds to nor detracts from the substantive rights of the defendant or the discoery obligations of the government.
		The linchpin of CIPA is section 5(a), which requires a defendant who reasonably intends to disclose (or cause the disclosure of) classified information to provide timely pretrial written notice of his intention to the Court and the Government.
		That is, the prosecutor must seek the court's approval, under either CIPA section 4 or section 6, of an alternative method to the witness' testimony in true name that will provide the defendant with the same ability that he would have otherwise had to impeach, or bolster, the credibility of that witness.

	Children's Internet Protection Act
		Under CIPA, schools and libraries subject to CIPA do not receive the discounts offered by the "E-Rate" program (discounts that make access to the Internet affordable to schools and libraries) unless they certify that they have certain Internet safety measures in place.
		CIPA does not require the tracking of Internet use by minors or adults.
		For further information on CIPA or to apply for Universal Service, contact the Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC) Schools and Libraries Division (SLD) at www.sl.universalservice.org.

	CIPA - Student Profiles
		Many CIPA fellows have been awarded the distinguished Presidential Management Internship placements or have become Fulbright Fellows, and a number have gone on to further study in law school, business school, or doctoral programs.
		Through CIPA, I've learned to think more critically and to evaluate issues on a broader scale as well as on a micro-level, and this will certainly help me in law school.
		The CIPA program is for people who want to create something of their own - trailblazers who want to make something happen.

	McVeigh's 3/96 Memo Summarizing The Classified Information Procedures Act
		The Hobson's choice was present prior to CIPA because the issue of admissibility of the information occurred during the trial itself and was usually made a public record during the arguments on its admissibility.
		But CIPA does not restrict admissibility of classified information; rather, it simply enables the government to ascertain prior to trial the specific classified information which the defendant possesses, or seeks to admit at trial, so that the government can evaluate the effect of disclosure on national security.
		In a pre-trial hearing pursuant to CIPA concerning the admissibility of classified information, the en banc Fourth Circuit split 6-5 in holding that the defendant's right to prepare his defense had to be balanced against the public interest in preventing the disclosure of classified information, as under Roviaro v.

	Draft sample policy responsive to legislative concerns & CIPA (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		CIPA and NCIPA are laws adopted by Congress to protect children and others as they use the Internet from a computer located in a public library or public school.
		The laws require an age-related limitation of information access for, in the Kansas law, "...a child under the age of 18 years" and in CIPA and NCIPA, "...an individual who has not attained the age of 17." This limitation is applied to information that is obscene as defined in K.S.A. 21-4301; 21-4301a, and 21-4301c.
		To provide the definition required by CIPA and NCIPA, the phrase "matter...inappropriate for minors...." used in the federal law is regarded as synonymous with the definition of obscenity in K.S.A. 21-4301; 21-4301a, and 21-4301c.

	Internet Protection Act
		Instead, CIPA requires schools or libraries covered by the new requirements to certify that they are using technology that blocks or filters access to visual depictions of the type specified in the legislation.
		A: CIPA requires annual certification of compliance with the statute’s requirements that the covered school or library has in place the required Internet safety policy, which includes the operation of blocking or filtering technology, and is enforcing the operation of that technology during use of its computers.
		The CIPA allows all of the covered agencies to enter into a compliance agreement when a covered school or library "is failing to comply substantially with the requirements" of the law.

	The Chartered Institute of Patent Agents - CIPA - Role and Organisation of CIPA
		CIPA is responsible for running the qualifying examinations, and for maintaining the Register of Patent Agents.
		This applies to CIPA in relation to patent agent litigators where the form of education, the code of conduct and the disciplinary procedures have to be approved and monitored by a government appointed body.
		CIPA has its own procedures for dealing with allegations of misconduct, and does sometimes remove someone from membership, although there are very few complaints leading to this penalty.

		Libraries subject to CIPA’s filtering requirements that are not currently in compliance with the CIPA filtering requirements must undertake efforts in Funding Year 2003 to comply by Funding Year 2004 in order to receive e- rate funds.
		Accordingly, CIPA allows libraries either to certify (1) that they are in compliance with CIPA or (2) that they are “undertaking such actions, including any necessary procurement procedures, to put in place” the required policy measures to comply with CIPA for the next funding year.
		CIPA also provides for a waiver of the certification requirements in the second year after the effective date of CIPA if state or local procurement rules or regulations or competitive bidding requirements prevent compliance.

	USATODAY.com - Ruling in library Internet filter case was correct (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		CIPA might be constitutionally valid if the filters were sophisticated enough only to block pornographic material from view by children.
		In a nutshell, the plaintiffs argued that CIPA's conditions effectively mandate that libraries impose content-based restrictions on their patrons' access to constitutionally protected speech, and that such would be permissible only if there were a compelling state interest and no less restrictive alternatives were available to further that interest.
		Thus, the panel declared CIPA to be facially invalid under the First Amendment and the panel permanently enjoined the government from enforcing the statute.

	Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA) and Form 486 - Schools & Libraries (USAC)
		For the purpose of CIPA, certifications for schools eligible for E-rate discounts may be made by the relevant school, school board, local educational agency, or other authority with responsibility for administration of the school (the Administrative Authority).
		CIPA provides that, in your First Funding Year following the effective date of CIPA (April 20, 2001) in which you are "applying" for funds, you need not be fully compliant with CIPA's requirements, but can certify that you are undertaking actions to be in compliance for the next Funding Year.
		For the purpose of CIPA requirements, a school or library who is a recipient of service is considered to have "applied" for funds in a Funding Year only when a Receipt of Service Confirmation Form 486 for a Funding Request for Internet Access or Internal Connections has been successfully data entered into the SLD system.

		The Citizen Initiated Performance Assessment (CIPA) has been pilot tested in nine Iowa cities, with the end goal of enhancing citizen participation and ensuring that performance measures are citizen-based, politically credible and used by policy-makers in decision-making.
		CIPA was also attractive to Des Moines government because it looked like a good way to test how citizen needs aligned with what government was providing, Armstrong said.
		CIPA also fosters a better sense of community, Armstrong said, because people actually participate on both the citizen side and the city staff side.

	IMLS: What's New: Legislative Update
		Public elementary and secondary school libraries must be in compliance with the CIPA requirements to obtain FY 2004 funding from State Library Administrative Agencies, except to the extent that such school libraries are eligible for and receive a waiver of the CIPA requirements pursuant to 20 U.S.C. § 9134(f)(4)(B)(iii).
		A public library must certify either that (1) the library is in compliance with CIPA's provisions, or (2) the library is undertaking steps to comply with CIPA in the next funding year.
		CIPA provides for a waiver of the certification requirements in the second year after the effective date of CIPA if State or local procurement rules or regulations or competitive bidding requirements prevent compliance.

	Congress' Censorware Boondoggle
		CIPA is a classic legislative boondoggle, as it prescribes a solution which does not remotely address the problem it identifies.
		CIPA remarkably contains a provision that requires a study, within eighteen months after its passage, to determine whether censorware is effective for the job that CIPA has tapped it to do.
		CIPA is a boondoggle, a huge waste of public money and time on technology that will not serve the stated purpose, but will inflict a lot of harm along the way.

	Cybertelecom : CIPA
		CIPA requires that schools and libraries that receive specific federal funds must certify to the funding agency that they have in place an Internet Safety Policy.
		CIPA requires NTIA to initiate a notice and comment proceeding for purposes of evaluating whether currently available technlogy protection measures adequately address the needs of educational institutions.
		CIPA is a condition on federal funding, as opposed to a restriction on speech.

	CIPA Study of Technology Protection Measures
		CIPA’s definition of “technology protection measure” should be expanded to include more than just blocking and filtering technology in order to encompass a vast array of current technological measures that protect children from inappropriate content.
		Section 1703(a) of CIPA requests NTIA to initiate a notice and comment proceeding to determine whether currently available blocking and filtering technologies adequately address the needs of educational institutions, to make recommendations on how to foster the development of technologies that meet the needs of schools and libraries, and to evaluate current Internet safety policies.
		Section 1703(a) of CIPA directs NTIA to initiate a notice and comment proceeding to determine if currently available blocking and filtering technologies adequately address the needs of educational institutions, make recommendations on how to foster the development of technologies that meet the needs of schools and libraries, and evaluate current Internet safety policies.

	Potential legal challenges to the application of the Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA) in public libraries (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		CIPA requires that filters on library computers block three specific types of content and each of the three categories of materials to be blocked has a specific legal meaning.
		CIPA represents the intersection of the constitutional right to freedom of speech and the desire of the government to protect children from harm.
		The language in CIPA enumerates and defines what should be blocked (obscene images, child pornography, and images harmful to minors), but there is still a possibility that the language might be considered too vague in terms of free speech based on two terms in the law.

	'USAC: SL: Children's Internet Protection Act' (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Under CIPA, no school or library may receive discounts unless it certifies that it is enforcing a policy of Internet safety that includes the use of filtering or blocking technology (see below).
		For the first Funding Year (Funding Year 4 for Year 4 applicants), applicants must certify on their Form 486 either that they are in compliance with CIPA, or that they are undertaking actions to put into place an Internet Safety Policy and to procure the filtering or blocking technology.
		Although applicants may withdraw their requests for discounts in Funding Year 5, or at any time, for any reason, applicants that expect to receive discounts for Funding Year 5, and subsequently, should ensure that they are in full compliance by the start of services in that year.

		After a legal challenge to (2), the U.S. District Court of Philadelphia struck down this provision of CIPA as unconstitutional in May 2002.
		CIPA's requirement that libraries adopt Internet safety policies (1) was not challenged, and remains.
		In May 2002, the U.S. District Court unanimously struck down CIPA as unconstitutional and affirmed the importance of local control in determining library Internet policies.

	MLA Forum - Article: Suppression of Speech by the United States Government: The Children's Internet Protection Act
		Passage of the Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA) is seen by librarians as a threat to their patrons' freedom to receive information.
		CIPA was specifically designed by Congress to withstand constitutional challenge.
		CIPA enjoyed bi-partisan support in Congress and was signed into law by President Bill Clinton in December 2000, just before he left office.

	USATODAY.com - Judges end library Net porn trial on skeptical note (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		A key plank in the case against CIPA is the limitations of filtering software products such as Cyber Patrol, Smart Filter, Web Sense and N2H2, which are designed to block access to Web sites deemed harmful to children under 17, including more than 100,000 sites with sexually explicit content.
		CIPA, the third attempt by Congress to control online pornography, was theoretically designed to weather free speech challenges by seeking only to cut off federal library funds rather than impose direct censorship restrictions.
		Among the legal issues before the panel is whether judges can overturn CIPA without also branding unconstitutional the filtering systems already in place at libraries in Greenville, S.C., and Tacoma, Wash., which both provided evidence and testimony for the government's defense.

		We similarly conclude that certifications for libraries pursuant to CIPA may be made by a library, library board, or other authority with responsibility for administration of the library.
		Commenters also express their view that CIPA is in potential conflict with laws governing access at federal depository libraries. Such commenters contend that existing statutes require federal depository libraries to provide free and open access to all citizens of both hard copy and electronic resources regardless of age.
		Some commenters have requested that we require entities to certify to the effectiveness of their Internet safety policy and technology protection measures. However, such a certification of effectiveness is not required by the statute. Moreover, adding an effectiveness standard does not comport with our goal of minimizing the burden we place on schools and libraries.

	Wired News: Full Assault on Filter Software
		CIPA says that a special three-judge panel will hear any legal challenge, and the losing party can appeal directly to the Supreme Court.
		The Justice Department has argued that to uphold CIPA as constitutional, the judges merely have to find that it could be applied legitimately in some cases without necessarily resulting in a violation of the First Amendment.
		But the free-speechers and librarians have a tougher battle this time: CIPA is not a criminal law, and nobody's forcing libraries to ask the federal government for cash.
