WE AIM TO UNDERTAKE A DETAILED EXAMINATION OF EVERY FERMI DETECTED OBJECT NOT ASSOCIATED WITH A KNOWN SOURCE TYPE. IN 3FGL (4-YEARS OF DATA) A CONSIDERABLY LARGE NUMBER OF SUCH SOURCES REMAIN (33%). FOR EVERY NEW UNASSOCIATED 3FGL OBJECT WE LEVERAGE OUR ASSOCIATION WORK PROPOSED IN CYCLE 7 THAT WILL INCREASE THE NUMBER OF RADIO-GAMMA ASSOCIATIONS. THE SECOND PART OF THIS PROPOSALWAS UNFUNDED. WE ASK FOR SUPPORT TO COMPLETE THE ORIGINALLY PROPOSED ANALYSIS OF THE PROPERTIES OF "ATYPICAL" OBJECTS WITH PEAKED OR STEEP SPECTRUM RADIO COUNTERPARTS AND TO CONFIRM A POPULATION OF STEADY GAMMA-RAY EMITTERS FOR WHICH WE FOUND EVIDENCE COMPARING 2FGL WITH 3FGL. WE ALSO FOUND EVIDENCE FOR A NEW POPULATION OF STEADY RADIO-QUIET GAMMA-RAY SOURCES THAT WE EXPECT TO CONFIRM ASA NEW SOURCE CLASS.
