Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards; Theft Protection
Our safety standard on theft protection specifies vehicle performance requirements intended to reduce the incidence of crashes resulting from theft and accidental rollaway of motor vehicles. As a result of technological advances in the area of theft protection, the terminology used in the regulatory text of the Standard has become outdated and incompatible with key-locking systems that employ electronic codes to lock and unlock the vehicle, and to enable engine activation. This document proposes to amend and reorganize the regulatory text of the Standard so that it better correlates to modern theft protection technology and reflects the agency's interpretation of the existing requirements. The proposed requirements would not impose any new substantive requirements on vehicle manufacturers.
Nomenclature Changes
The Commission is adopting minor nomenclature changes in provisions appearing in the Code of Federal Regulations, including the rules of practice. The changes reflect the agency's relocation of its physical offices. Adoption of these changes will provide the public with accurate information about the Commission's new address.

Office of Environmental Information; Announcement of Comment Period for Environmental Sampling, Analysis and Results Draft Data Standards
Notice of availability for public review for a 90 day comment period is hereby given for the Draft Environmental Sampling, Analysis and Results (ESAR) Data Standards. The Draft Environmental Sampling, Analysis, and Results Data Standards are a collection of 14 standards that are based on the business processes used to collect and analyze environmental data. The collection is comprised of an Overview, four primary standards and nine supporting components. The fourteen ESAR data standards are designed to provide implementation flexibility and improve the exchange of environmental data across the nation. States and U.S. EPA completed a technical review of these data standards in the Spring of 2004. That review lead to the formation of Air, Waste, and Water teams, which reviewed the comments and produced this final collection of draft data standard documents. Reviewers will see that the standards may not use the specific terminology for a given environmental program. In order to make the standards work for the broadest audience, terms were specifically chosen for relevance to the broadest audience. Similarly, the standards do not address all details of each environmental program. These standards, when final, are intended to serve as a foundation for information exchange across environmental media (water, air, waste). Media or program specific data elements may need to be added in an exchange. Reviewers please note that the draft data standards are based on and incorporate related efforts such as other data standards, electronic data deliverables, and systems data dictionaries in media specific areas including: the EDSC data standard ``Reporting Water Quality Results for Chemical and Microbiological Analytes;'' exchange specifications such as the ``Staged Electronic Data Deliverable'' (SEDD); data dictionaries such as the Air Quality Monitoring System (AQS); as well as specifications from the National Environmental Laboratory Accrediting Council (NELAC) and the Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS).

Radio Broadcasting Services; Meyersville and San Antonio, TX
This document requests comments on a Petition for Rule Making filed by Charles Crawford requesting the allotment of Channel 261A at Meyersville, Texas, as that community's first local aural transmission service. To accommodate this allotment, Petitioner requests the reclassification of FM Station KCYY, Channel 262C, San Antonio, Texas, to specify operation on Channel 262C0 pursuant to the reclassification procedures adopted by the Commission. See 1998 Biennial Regulatory ReviewStreamlining of Radio Technical Rules in Parts 73 and 74 of the Commission's Rules, 65 FR 79773 (December 20, 2000). In response to an Order to Show Cause why Station KCYY should not be downgraded from Channel 262C to 262C0, the licensee of FM Station KCYY stated that it would file an application meeting minimum Class C FM standards within the period required by our rules. Since such an application has not been filed, the Commission proposes to reclassify Station KCYY to Class C0. Channel 261A can be allotted with a site restriction 2.0 kilometers (1.2 miles) southwest of Meyersville, at reference coordinates 28-54-58 NL and 97-19-37 WL.

Radio Broadcasting Services; Glenmora and Marksville, LA and Orange, TX
This document requests comments on two mutually exclusive Petitions for Rule Making. The first proposal, filed by Charles Crawford requests the allotment of Channel 292A at Glenmora, Louisiana, as that community's first local aural transmission service. To accommodate this allotment, Crawford requests the reclassification of FM Station KIOC, Channel 291C, Orange, Texas, to specify operation on Channel 291C0 pursuant to the reclassification procedures adopted by the Commission. See 1998 Biennial Regulatory ReviewStreamlining of Radio Technical Rules in Parts 73 and 74 of the Commission's Rules, 65 FR 79773 (2000). An Order to Show Cause was issued to Capstar TX Limited Partnership, licensee of FM Station KIOC to which no response was received. The second proposal, filed by Goudeau, Inc. proposes the allotment of Channel 292A at Marksville, Louisiana, as its second local service. A staff engineering analysis has determined that the reclassification of FM Station KIOC to specify operation on Channel 291C0 at Orange, Texas will eliminate any short spacing to the proposed Channel 292A at Glenmora, Louisiana. As a result, Channel 292A can be allotted to Glenmora, in conformity with the Commission's rules, provided there is a site restriction of 12.2 kilometers (7.6 miles) west at reference coordinates 31-00-35 NL and 92-42-30 WL. Alternatively, Channel 292A can be allotted to Marksville, Louisiana, consistent with the minimum distance separation requirements of Sec. 73.207(b) of the Commission's rules, provided there is a site restriction of 9.7 kilometers (6 miles) west at reference coordinates 31-06-34 NL and 92-09-55 WL.
Radio Broadcasting Services; Meeteetse, Wyoming
The Audio Division, on its own motion, proposes the substitution of Channel 259C for vacant Channel 273C at Meeteetse, Wyoming. The current allotment of Channel 273C at Meeteetse is not in compliance with the minimum distance separation requirements of Section 73.207(b) of the Commission's rules. The proposed substitution would resolve an existing distance spacing conflict. In this instance, existing vacant Channel 273C at Meeteetse is short-spaced to the licensed site of FM Station KHOC, Channel 273C, Casper, Wyoming. Channel 273C at Meeteetse is located 260.3 kilometers apart from FM Station KHOC. The minimum distance spacing requirement is 290 kilometers. Channel 259C can be allotted to Meeteetse, Wyoming in conformity with the Commission's rules without a site restriction at reference coordinates 44-09-26 NL and 108-52-15 WL.

To accommodate this proposed reallotment, Petitioner also requests the relocation of the transmitter site for its FM Station WSJF, Channel 288C3, St. Augustine Beach. Channel 287A can be allotted to Yulee in conformity with the Commission's rules, provided there is a site restriction of 10.6 kilometers (6.6 miles) southeast at reference coordinates 30-34-00 NL and 81-31-30 WL. To facilitate the proposed Yulee reallotment, the transmitter site for FM Station WSJF can be relocated, consistent with the minimum distance separation requirements of Section 73.207(b) of the Commission's rules, provided there is a site restriction of 7.0 kilometers (4.3 miles) south at reference coordinates 29-46-53 NL and 81-15-25 WL.
