SUMMARY: It has been reported recently to Congressional committees and the General Services Administration (GSA), Public Buildings Service that some Federal agencies using the delegated leasing authority issued to Federal agencies on September 25, 1996, as part of the ``Can't Beat GSA Leasing'' program are not following properly the instructions specified as a condition for use of the leasing delegation. The attached bulletin reemphasizes and updates the notification and reporting requirements specified in the delegation of authority and its supporting information, GSA Bulletin FPMR D-239 and GSA Bulletin FPMR D-239, Supplement 1, which are hereby canceled and superseded by this bulletin. Additional reporting requirements for categorical and special purpose space delegations are also included. This bulletin is in keeping with the spirit of Executive Order 13327, ``Federal Real Property Asset Management,'' in order to maximize the increased Governmentwide emphasis on real property inventory management. The FMR and any corresponding documents may be accessed at GSA's website at https://www.gsa.gov/fmr. Click on FMR Bulletins.

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is amending its export/import regulations to remove Syria from the list of restricted destinations and add it to the list of embargoed destinations. This amendment is necessary to conform the NRC's regulations with U.S. law and foreign policy.

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is amending its regulations revising the Transnuclear, Inc., Standardized NUHOMS[reg] System listing within the ``List of approved spent fuel storage casks'' to include Amendment No. 8 to Certificate of Compliance Number (CoC No.) 1004. Amendment No. 8 to the Standardized NUHOMS[reg] System CoC will modify the cask design by adding a new spent fuel storage and transfer system, designated the NUHOMS[reg]-24PTH System. The NUHOMS[reg]-24PTH System consists of new or modified components: The -24PTH dry shielded canister (DSC); a new -24PTH DSC basket design; a modified horizontal storage module (HSM), designated the HSM-H; and a modified transfer cask (TC), designated the OS 197FC TC. The NUHOMS[reg]-24PTH System is designed to store fuel with a maximum average burnup of up to 62 gigawatts-day/metric ton of uranium; maximum average initial enrichment of 5.0 weight percent; minimum cooling time of 3.0 years; and maximum heat load of 40.8 kilowatts per DSC, under a general license.

The Office of Hearings and Appeals (OHA) and Freedom of Information Act and Privacy Acts Office (FOI/PA) are amending their regulations to reflect a change in their address. This action is technical in nature and is intended to improve the accuracy of the Agency's regulations.

The Federal Communications Commission (``Commission'') has received Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval for the following public information collections pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13. An agency may not conduct or sponsor and a person is not required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid control number.

On April 27, 2005 (70 FR 21652), the Commission published final rules in the Report and Order, which specified the procedures by which forty Private Land Mobile Radio (PLMR) channels, which are located in frequency bands that are allocated primarily for Federal use, are to transition to narrower, more spectrally efficient channels in a process commonly known as ``narrowbanding.'' This document contains a correction to the effective date in footnote US312 and Sec. 90.20 (e)(6), which was incorrectly stated.

The Federal Communications Commissions (FCC) has received Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval for the following public information collection pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Pub. L. 96-511. An agency may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid control number. Notwithstanding any other provisions of law, no person shall be subject to any penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) that does not display a valid control number.

In response to a Notice of Proposed Rule Making, 70 FR 775 (January 5, 2005) this Report and Order reallots Channel 275C3, Station WLME(FM) (``WLME''), Cannelton, Indiana, to Tell City, Indiana, and modifies Station WLME's license accordingly. In addition, this Report and Order reallots Channel 289A from Tell City to Cannelton, Indiana, and modifies Station WTCJ-FM's license accordingly. The coordinates for Channel 275C3 at Tell City, Indiana, are 37-50-52 NL and 86-36-18 WL, with a site restriction of 18.4 kilometers (11.4 miles) southeast of Tell City. The coordinates for Channel 289A at Cannelton are 37-48-13 NL and 86-48-57 WL, with a site restriction of 13.5 kilometers (8.4 miles) southwest of Cannelton.

The Audio Division, at the request of Portmeirion Partners allots Channel 225C3 at Clatskanie, Oregon, as the community's first local service. See 69 FR 75016, published December 15, 2004. Channel 225C3 can be allotted to Clatskanie, consistent with the minimum distance separation requirements of the Commission's rules at a restricted site located 21.5 kilometers (13.3 miles) north of the community. The reference coordinates for Channel 225C3 at Clatskanie are 46-17-44 North Latitude and 123-14-13 West Longitude. A filing window for Channel 225C3 at Clatskanie, Oregon will not be opened at this time. Instead, the issue of opening a filing window for this channel will be addressed by the Commission in a subsequent order. To accommodate the Clatskanie allotment, the Audio Division orders the substitution of Channel 259A for Channel 224A at Long Beach, California, and modification of the license for Station KAQX(FM) to reflect the channel change. Additionally, the Audio Division orders the substitution of Channel 253A for Channel 259A at Ilwaco, Washington to facilitate the Long Beach channel substitution.

In this document, the Commission addresses the minimum requirements for a telecommunications carrier to be designated as an ``eligible telecommunications carrier'' or ``ETC,'' and thus eligible to receive federal universal service support. Specifically, consistent with the recommendations of the Federal-State Joint Board on Universal Service (Joint Board), we adopt additional mandatory requirements for ETC designation proceedings.

In this document, the Commission concludes that Commercial Mobile Radio Service (CMRS) carriers should no longer be exempt from the Commission's rule requiring that billing descriptions be brief, clear, non-misleading and in plain language. In addition, the Commission puts CMRS carriers on notice that it intends to review complaints regarding unclear or misleading billing descriptions, and may take enforcement action under this rule, as appropriate, based on such complaints or other evidence of non-compliance.

In accordance with the Federal Advisory Committee Act, this notice advises interested persons that the sixth meeting of the WRC-07 Advisory Committee will be held on June 22, 2005, at the Federal Communications Commission.

Channel 228A at Leadville, Colorado is a vacant allotment resulting from the cancellation of the Station KRMH-FM license in 1997. See BLH-19860207KD. The reference coordinates for vacant Channel 228A at Leadville are 39-14-51 NL and 106-17-57 WL.
