The Audio Division, at the request of Optima Communications, Inc., substitutes Channel 288C2 for Channel 288C3 at Security, Colorado and modifies Station KSKX(FM)'s license accordingly.

Channel 291C3 can be allotted to Genoa with a site restriction of 18.4 kilometers (11.4 miles) east of the community at coordinates 39-15-35 North Latitude and 103-17-15 West Longitude.

This document requests comments on a petition for rule making filed by Champlain Communications Corp. (``Petitioner''), licensee of Station WLFE-FM, Channel 272A, St. Albans, Vermont. Petitioner requests that the Commission upgrade Channel 272A to Channel 272C3 and reallot Channel 272C3 from St. Albans to Grand Isle, Vermont, thus providing Grand Isle with its first local aural transmission service. To accommodate the foregoing changes, FM Station WRGR, Channel 272A, Tupper Lake, New York, has agreed to substitute Channel 271C3 for Channel 272A and move its transmitter to a new site. The coordinates for proposed Channel 272C3 at Grand Isle, Vermont, are 44-44-07 NL and 73-30-57 WL with a site restriction of 17.4 kilometers (10.8 miles) west of Grand Isle. The coordinates for proposed Channel 271C3 at Tupper Lake are 44-07-21 NL and 74-31-52 WL, with a site restriction of 12.6 kilometers (7.8 miles) southwest of Tupper Lake.

We, the Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement (OSM), propose to revise our rules for, and related to, the transfer, assignment, or sale of permit rights. This proposed rule effectuates a settlement agreement we entered into with the National Mining Association (NMA) in connection with NMA's judicial challenge to certain provisions of our December 19, 2000, final ownership and control rule (2000 ownership and control rule or 2000 rule). In this proposed rule, we propose to: Revise the regulatory definitions of transfer, assignment, or sale of permit rights and successor in interest; revise the regulatory provisions relating to transfer, assignment, or sale of permit rights; and create separate rules for successors in interest. The primary purpose of the proposed rule is to distinguish clearly the circumstances that will constitute a transfer, assignment, or sale of permit rights (requiring a regulatory authority's approval and, at a minimum, a permit revision) or result in a successor in interest (requiring the issuance of a new permit) from those that will only require a permittee to provide information updates. The proposed rule also affords us an opportunity to ensure our rules are consistent with recent legal developments. This proposed rulemaking does not suspend or withdraw any of the provisions of our 2000 ownership and control rule, nor does it affect any of our proposed revisions to the 2000 rule published on December 29, 2003. This proposed rule is authorized under the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977, as amended (SMCRA or the Act).

This rule makes final a June 15, 2004, interim rule that amended regulations regarding eligibility for mortgages on Hawaiian home lands to reflect a statutory change to the National Housing Act. The June 15, 2004, interim rule solicited public comments. No comments were received by HUD on the interim rule. This final rule adopts the interim rule, therefore, without change.
