SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
Analysis
This document does not contain new
or modified information collection(s)
subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995, Public Law 104–13. In addition,
therefore, it does not contain any new
or modified ‘‘information collection
burden for small business concerns with
fewer than 25 employees,’’ pursuant to
the Small Business Paperwork Relief
Act of 2002, Public Law 107–198, see 44
U.S.C. 3506(c)(4). The Commission will
file a nonsubstantive modification to the
information collection that contains
§§ 76.1601, 76.1607, 76.1617, and
76.1708 (OMB 3060–0649).

Synopsis
I. Discussion
1. By this Order, the Office of the
Managing Director (OMD) makes
nonsubstantive, editorial revisions to
correct outdated cross-references in the
Federal Communications Commission’s
open video system (OVS) rules. These
nonsubstantive revisions are part of the
Commission’s ongoing examination and
improvement of its processes and
procedures. Specifically, § 76.1506(g) of
the Commission’s rules applies to OVS
operators the cable operator notification
requirements contained in § 76.58.1
While § 76.58 contained those
notification requirements when
§ 76.1506(g) was adopted,2 in 1999 the
Commission deleted § 76.58 and moved
1 47
CFR 76.1506(g).

its contents to new sections of the Code
of Federal Regulations (CFR) with the
minor modifications discussed below.3
Accordingly, in this Order we correct
the outdated cross-references in
§ 76.1506(g).
2. These revisions update references
to obsolete rule sections. Accordingly,
we find good cause to conclude that
notice and comment procedures are
unnecessary and would not serve any
useful purpose.4 The Commission’s
rules provide its Managing Director, or
his or her designee, with ‘‘delegated
authority to make nonsubstantive,
editorial revisions of the Commission’s
rules and regulations upon approval of
the bureau or staff office primarily
responsible for the particular part or
section involved.’’ 5 Updating the crossreferences in § 76.1506(g) is a
nonsubstantive change, and the Media
Bureau has approved the corrections
made herein.
3. Upon the deletion of § 76.58 of the
Commission’s rules in 1999, the
Commission moved the contents of
§ 76.58(a) to § 76.1601.6 The
Commission also moved the contents of
§ 76.58(b), (d) and (e) to § 76.1617.7
Further, the Commission moved the
contents of § 76.58(c) to § 76.1607 and
part of § 76.1708(a).8 Additionally, the
Commission moved the note to § 76.58
to § 76.1601.9 However, § 76.1506(g)
continues to cross-reference deleted
§ 76.58.
4. We revise § 76.1506(g) of the
Commission’s rules to eliminate crossreferences to deleted § 76.58 and replace
those references with the updated cable
rule sections. We need not revise FCC
Form 1275, Certification for Open Video
Systems, because that form does not

Streamlining of Cable Television Services, part 76
Public File and Notice Requirements, Report and
Order, 14 FCC Rcd 4653 (1999) (1998 Biennial
Review Order). Appendix D of the 1998 Biennial
Review Order contains a list of the new regulations
and the sections from which the new regulations
were moved.
4 See 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B).
5 47 CFR 0.231(b).
6 See 47 CFR 76.1601.
7 In 1999, the Commission decided that the
references to the 1993 notification requirements
contained in § 76.58 were outdated and, thus,
replaced those references with more general
language, a 60 day notification requirement, when
it moved the contents of § 76.58(b), (d) and (e) into
new § 76.1617. See 47 CFR 76.1617; 1998 Biennial
Review Order, 14 FCC Rcd at Appendix C. The 1998
Biennial Review Order contained a discussion of the
replacement of the 1993 dates with the new 60-day
notification requirements, and while the text
referenced these requirements as appearing in new
§ 76.1619, an erratum indicated that they actually
appear in § 76.1617. 1998 Biennial Review Order, 14

mention deleted § 76.58. In addition, to
make § 76.1506(g) easier to read now
that it will cross-reference multiple rule
sections instead of a single rule section,
we make editorial revisions by merging
the three former sentences into a single
sentence. Section 76.1506(g) will now
read, ‘‘Any provision of §§ 76.1601,
76.1607, 76.1617, or 76.1708(a) (second
sentence) that refers to a ‘cable
operator,’ ‘cable system,’ or ‘principal
headend’ shall apply, respectively, to an
open video system operator, to an open
video system, or to the equivalent of the
principal headend for an open video
system.’’ The corrections discussed
herein are nonsubstantive, editorial
revisions that the Media Bureau has
approved, and OMD thus has authority
to implement them pursuant to
§ 0.231(b).10
II. Procedural Matters
A. Regulatory Flexibility Act
5. Because we adopt this Order
without notice and comment, the
Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) does
not apply.11
B. Final Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995 Analysis
6. The Order does not contain new or
modified information collection
requirements subject to the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA), Public
Law 104–13. In addition, therefore, it
does not contain any new or modified
‘‘information collection burden for
small business concerns with fewer than
25 employees,’’ pursuant to the Small
Business Paperwork Relief Act of 2002,
Public Law 107–198, see 44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(4). The Commission will file a
nonsubstantive modification to the
information collection that contains
§§ 76.1601, 76.1607, 76.1617, and
76.1708 (OMB 3060–0649).
C. Congressional Review Act
7. The Commission will send a copy
of the Order in a report to be sent to
Congress and the Government
Accountability Office pursuant to the
Congressional Review Act, see 5 U.S.C.
801(a)(1)(A).
10 See 47 CFR 0.231(b). In addition, we note that
the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (Act),
directs the Commission to apply to OVS operators
certain provisions that apply to cable operators. See
47 U.S.C. 573(c).
11 See 5 U.S.C. 603. The RFA, see 5 U.S.C. 601
et seq., has been amended by the Small Business
Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996
(SBREFA), Pub. L. 104–121, Title II, 110 Stat. 857
(1996). The SBREFA was enacted as Title II of the

Commerce.
ACTION: Temporary rule; closure.
AGENCY:
NMFS is prohibiting directed
fishing for Atka mackerel in the Eastern
Aleutian district and the Bering Sea
subarea (BSEAI) of the Bering Sea and
Aleutian Island management area
(BSAI) by vessels participating in the
BSAI trawl limited access fishery. This
action is necessary to prevent exceeding
the A season allowance of the 2015 Atka
mackerel total allowable catch (TAC) in
the BSEAI allocated to vessels
participating in the BSAI trawl limited
access fishery.
DATES: Effective 1200 hrs, Alaska local
time (A.l.t.), January 27, 2015, through
1200 hrs, A.l.t., June 10, 2015.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Steve Whitney, 907–586–7228.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NMFS
manages the groundfish fishery in the
BSAI exclusive economic zone
according to the Fishery Management
Plan for Groundfish of the Bering Sea
and Aleutian Islands Management Area
(FMP) prepared by the North Pacific
Fishery Management Council under
authority of the Magnuson-Stevens
Fishery Conservation and Management
SUMMARY:
PO 00000

Sfmt 4700
Act. Regulations governing fishing by
U.S. vessels in accordance with the FMP
appear at subpart H of 50 CFR part 600
and 50 CFR part 679.
The A season allowance of the 2015
Atka mackerel TAC, in the BSEAI,
allocated to vessels participating in the
BSAI trawl limited access fishery was
established as a directed fishing
allowance of 1,150 metric tons by the
final 2014 and 2015 harvest
specifications for groundfish in the
BSAI (79 FR 12108, March 4, 2014), and
as adjusted by an inseason adjustment
(80 FR 188, January 5, 2015).
In accordance with § 679.20(d)(1)(iii),
the Administrator, Alaska Region,
NMFS, finds that this directed fishing
allowance has been reached.
Consequently, NMFS is prohibiting
directed fishing for Atka mackerel in the
BSEAI by vessels participating in the
BSAI trawl limited access fishery.
After the effective dates of this
closure, the maximum retainable
amounts at § 679.20(e) and (f) apply at
any time during a trip.
Classification
This action responds to the best
available information recently obtained
from the fishery. The Acting Assistant
Administrator for Fisheries, NOAA,
(AA) finds good cause to waive the
requirement to provide prior notice and
opportunity for public comment
pursuant to the authority set forth at 5
U.S.C. 553(b)(B) as such a requirement
is impracticable and contrary to the
public interest. This requirement is
impracticable and contrary to the public
interest as it would prevent NMFS from
responding to the most recent fisheries
data in a timely fashion and would
delay the directed fishing closure of the
Atka mackerel fishery in the BSEAI for
vessels participating in the BSAI trawl
limited access fishery. NMFS was
unable to publish a notice providing
time for public comment because the
most recent, relevant data only became
available as of January 26, 2015. The AA
also finds good cause to waive the 30day delay in the effective date of this
action under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3). This
finding is based upon the reasons
provided above for waiver of prior
notice and opportunity for public
comment.
This action is required by § 679.20
and is exempt from review under
Executive Order 12866.

\3\ See 1998 Biennial Regulatory Review--Streamlining of Cable
Television Services, part 76 Public File and Notice Requirements,
Report and Order, 14 FCC Rcd 4653 (1999) (1998 Biennial Review
Order). Appendix D of the 1998 Biennial Review Order contains a list
of the new regulations and the sections from which the new
regulations were moved.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. These revisions update references to obsolete rule sections.
Accordingly, we find good cause to conclude that notice and comment
procedures are unnecessary and would not serve any useful purpose.\4\
The Commission's rules provide its Managing Director, or his or her
designee, with ``delegated authority to make nonsubstantive, editorial
revisions of the Commission's rules and regulations upon approval of
the bureau or staff office primarily responsible for the particular
part or section involved.'' \5\ Updating the cross-references in Sec.
76.1506(g) is a nonsubstantive change, and the Media Bureau has
approved the corrections made herein.

\5\ 47 CFR 0.231(b).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Upon the deletion of Sec. 76.58 of the Commission's rules in
1999, the Commission moved the contents of Sec. 76.58(a) to Sec.
76.1601.\6\ The Commission also moved the contents of Sec. 76.58(b),
(d) and (e) to Sec. 76.1617.\7\ Further, the Commission moved the
contents of Sec. 76.58(c) to Sec. 76.1607 and part of Sec.
76.1708(a).\8\ Additionally, the Commission moved the note to Sec.
76.58 to Sec. 76.1601.\9\ However, Sec. 76.1506(g) continues to
cross-reference deleted Sec. 76.58.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ See 47 CFR 76.1601.
\7\ In 1999, the Commission decided that the references to the
1993 notification requirements contained in Sec. 76.58 were
outdated and, thus, replaced those references with more general
language, a 60 day notification requirement, when it moved the
contents of Sec. 76.58(b), (d) and (e) into new Sec. 76.1617. See
47 CFR 76.1617; 1998 Biennial Review Order, 14 FCC Rcd at Appendix
C. The 1998 Biennial Review Order contained a discussion of the
replacement of the 1993 dates with the new 60-day notification
requirements, and while the text referenced these requirements as
appearing in new Sec. 76.1619, an erratum indicated that they
actually appear in Sec. 76.1617. 1998 Biennial Review Order, 14 FCC
Rcd at 4667, paras. 28-29; Erratum, 1999 WL 163015, at Appendix C
(Mar. 26, 1999).
\8\ See 47 CFR 76.1607 and 76.1708(a).
\9\ See Note 1 to Sec. 76.1601.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. We revise Sec. 76.1506(g) of the Commission's rules to
eliminate cross-references to deleted Sec. 76.58 and replace those
references with the updated cable rule sections. We need not revise FCC
Form 1275, Certification for Open Video Systems, because that form does
not mention deleted Sec. 76.58. In addition, to make Sec. 76.1506(g)
easier to read now that it will cross-reference multiple rule sections
instead of a single rule section, we make editorial revisions by
merging the three former sentences into a single sentence. Section
76.1506(g) will now read, ``Any provision of Sec. Sec. 76.1601,
76.1607, 76.1617, or 76.1708(a) (second sentence) that refers to a
`cable operator,' `cable system,' or `principal headend' shall apply,
respectively, to an open video system operator, to an open video
system, or to the equivalent of the principal headend for an open video
system.'' The corrections discussed herein are nonsubstantive,
editorial revisions that the Media Bureau has approved, and OMD thus
has authority to implement them pursuant to Sec. 0.231(b).\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\10\ See 47 CFR 0.231(b). In addition, we note that the
Communications Act of 1934, as amended (Act), directs the Commission
to apply to OVS operators certain provisions that apply to cable
operators. See 47 U.S.C. 573(c).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
II. Procedural Matters
A. Regulatory Flexibility Act
5. Because we adopt this Order without notice and comment, the
Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) does not apply.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\11\ See 5 U.S.C. 603. The RFA, see 5 U.S.C. 601 et seq., has
been amended by the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness
Act of 1996 (SBREFA), Pub. L. 104-121, Title II, 110 Stat. 857
(1996). The SBREFA was enacted as Title II of the Contract with
America Advancement Act of 1996 (CWAAA).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
B. Final Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 Analysis
6. The Order does not contain new or modified information
collection requirements subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA), Public Law 104-13. In addition, therefore, it does not contain
any new or modified ``information collection burden for small business
concerns with fewer than 25 employees,'' pursuant to the Small Business
Paperwork Relief Act of 2002, Public Law 107-198, see 44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(4). The Commission will file a nonsubstantive modification to
the information collection that contains Sec. Sec. 76.1601, 76.1607,
76.1617, and 76.1708 (OMB 3060-0649).
C. Congressional Review Act
7. The Commission will send a copy of the Order in a report to be
sent to Congress and the Government Accountability Office pursuant to
the Congressional Review Act, see 5 U.S.C. 801(a)(1)(A).

8. For additional information on this proceeding, contact Diana
Sokolow, Diana.Sokolow@fcc.gov, of the Policy Division, Media Bureau,

hereby amended as set forth in the Final Rules below.
11. It is further ordered that the Commission's Consumer and
Governmental Affairs Bureau, Reference Information Center, shall send a
copy of this Order to the Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the Small
Business Administration.
12. It is further ordered that the Commission shall send a copy of
this Order in a report to be sent to Congress and the Government
