The long-delayed V-chip to block television programs   
  
inappropriate for children should get a boost from the   
  
FCC and could be in new TV sets by summer.   
  
The FCC is expected to approve a set of standards used by   
  
broadcasters and cable operators to rate all programs.   
  
The commission also will bless a technical standard for the   
  
hardware chip to be included in TV sets. More than two   
  
years ago, Congress passed legislation to encourage the   
  
development of voluntary TV ratings that could be read by   
  
V-chips. The FCC was directed to determine if the standards   
  
were acceptable.
