SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Commission recently released a Seventh
Further Notice of Proposed Rule Making
(‘‘Seventh FNPRM’’), FCC 06–150,
released October 20, 2006 in MB Docket
No. 87–268 (71 FR 66592, November 15,
2006), finalizing the DTV channel
election process and beginning the final
stage of the transition of the nation’s
broadcast television system from analog
to digital technology. In the Seventh
FNPRM, the Commission proposed a
new DTV Table of Allotments providing
eligible stations with channels for DTV
operations after the DTV transition.
In paragraph 53 of the Seventh
FNPRM, the Commission noted that
additional pending applications may be
granted before an Order finalizing the
new DTV Table is adopted. The
Commission stated that, to the extent
possible, it would accommodate the
future new permittees in the proposed
new DTV Table and, to provide
interested parties with the opportunity
to comment, the Media Bureau would
issue public notices announcing
tentative channel designations (TCDs)
for the new permittees that attain
permittee status during the pendancy of
the Seventh FNRPM rulemaking
proceeding. The Commission also
directed the Media Bureau to establish
separate pleading cycles, if necessary, to
give interested parties an opportunity
for comment.
The Media Bureau hereby announces
TCDs for six permittees that attained

permittee status during the pendency of
the rulemaking proceeding and,
therefore, were not reflected in the
proposed new DTV Table released on
October 20, 2006. Included is a list of
these permittees together with the
channel we propose to assign the
permittee. This information revises the
proposed new DTV Table of Allotments
of the Seventh FNPRM. In addition, we
have attached the specific technical
facilities—effective radiated power
(ERP), antenna height above average
terrain (HAAT), antenna radiation
pattern, and geographic coordinates—at
which we propose to allow these
stations to operate after the DTV
transition (Appendix). The attachment
also includes information on service
area and population coverage.
Consistent with paragraph 53 of the
Seventh FNPRM, the Media Bureau
hereby invites public comment on these
changes to the proposed new DTV
Table. Comments on the proposed
changes to the new DTV Table outlined
herein must be filed no later than
February 9, 2007, and reply comments
must be filed no later than February 26,

ACTION: Termination of Rulemaking.
AGENCY:
On August 18, 2005, NHTSA
published a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) proposing to amend
our certification regulation to require
that, in addition to the vehicle
identification number (VIN), a suffix
that identified attributes about the bus
body be recorded on the certification
label of each bus manufactured in two
or more stages. The NPRM also
proposed a new regulation to require
manufacturers of buses manufactured in
two or more stages to obtain a
manufacturer’s identifier and to submit
information to NHTSA about the bus
bodies manufactured.
NHTSA has identified an alternative
approach to obtain accurate bus
accident data for analysis and safety
improvement that it believes is more
efficient and less burdensome.
Therefore, we are terminating this
rulemaking.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
jlentini on PROD1PC65 with PROPOSAL
SUMMARY:
Background
On November 2, 1999, the National
Transportation Safety Board (NTSB)
issued safety recommendations to the
Department of Transportation (DOT) to
develop standard definitions and
classifications for each of the different
bus body types and to include these
definitions and classifications in the
Federal motor vehicle safety standards
VerDate Aug<31>2005
18:23 Jan 18, 2007
Jkt 211001
In 1 year and in cooperation with the bus
manufacturers, complete the development of
standard definitions and classifications for
each of the different bus body types, and
include these definitions and classifications
in the FMVSS. (NTSB Recommendation No.
H–99–43)
Once the standard definitions and
classifications for each of the different bus
types have been established in the Federal
motor vehicle safety standards, in
cooperation with the National Association of
Governors’ Highway Safety Representatives,
amend the Model Minimum Uniform Crash
Criteria’s (MMUCC) bus configuration coding
to incorporate the FMVSS definitions and
standards. (NTSB Recommendation No. H–
99–44).
The recommendations were a result of
an NTSB September 1999 bus safety
study titled ‘‘Bus Crashworthiness
Issues.’’ During that study, NTSB
experienced difficulty in determining
detailed descriptive characteristics of
buses manufactured in two or more
stages from the Fatality Analysis
Reporting System (FARS) database.
Although bus body manufacturers are
required to certify that their vehicles
meet the FMVSSs, they are not required
to encode in the certification label
affixed to the completed vehicle any
descriptive information about the body
they install.
In June and August of 2000, meetings
were held between the Office of the
Secretary of the Department of
Transportation, NHTSA, Federal Motor
Carrier Safety Administration, Federal
Transit Administration, NTSB, bus
manufacturers, and industry association
representatives. At the meetings, the
parties discussed whether bus
configuration or bus use would be
appropriate determining factors in
devising a coding scheme for the final
stage manufacturers’ certification labels
and police accident report forms. It was
determined that in-service bus uses vary
considerably and often change, and
therefore, it would be impractical to
develop bus definitions based on use.
Instead, DOT determined that basic
descriptive information such as length
and seating configuration could be
provided to better identify the type of
bus body installed on the chassis. It was
also determined that, in addition to the
VIN, descriptive information could be
encoded on the final stage
manufacturer’s certification label.
When buses are involved in crashes,
the VIN is recorded in FARS. The name
of the manufacturer is required to be on
the certification label, but this
information is not typically recorded on
the Police Accident Report (PAR). For
vehicles manufactured in one stage, the
PO 00000
Frm 00024
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
2487
type of vehicle and bus body
information is already encoded into the
VIN. However, for buses manufactured
in more than one stage, the VIN only
identifies the incomplete vehicle
manufacturer. The final stage
manufacturer’s name and the bus model
are not encoded in the VIN and are not
recorded in the PAR.
FARS records fatalities in the
following bus type categories: intercity,
transit, school, other, and unknown.
Little is known about the types of buses
involved in the fatalities that appear in
‘‘other’’ and ‘‘unknown’’ bus type
categories. These buses are typically
specialty type buses that are
manufactured in two or more stages.
They include, for example, buses that
are used for shuttle services to and from
airports, for transporting the medically
fragile or mobility impaired, for
transporting people to and from church
events, and for shuttling people from
one business location to another. These
buses usually incorporate a cutaway
chassis provided by an incomplete
vehicle manufacturer. The bus body is
usually manufactured and installed by a
final stage manufacturer. The FARS data
for the years 2000 through 2004
revealed that there are about twelve
fatalities per year that fall within the
‘‘other’’ or ‘‘unknown’’ bus type
categories.
The current system requires that the
VIN be recorded on the PAR filed by the
State. However, inaccurate transcription
of the VIN on the PAR and subsequently
into the FARS database has been a
recurring problem. Although the final
stage manufacturer’s name must be
recorded on the certification label, the
current system does not require that the
police record this information on the
PAR.
On August 18, 2005, NHTSA
published an NPRM to address this
issue in the Federal Register (70 FR
48507; Docket No. NHTSA–2005–
22061). The NPRM proposed to amend
Part 567—Certification, to require that a
new ten-digit suffix be appended to the
VIN on the certification label for buses
manufactured in two or more stages.
The new suffix would identify the bus
body manufacturer and certain
attributes about the type of bus, e.g.,
model number, seat configuration, and
bus body length. The NPRM also
proposed to add a new Part 584—Buses
Manufactured in Two or More Stages, to
require that bus body manufacturers of
buses manufactured in two or more
stages obtain a manufacturer’s identifier
and provide the descriptive information
necessary to decode the suffix. The
NPRM proposed that this information be
available so that it could be collected

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission recently released a Seventh
Further Notice of Proposed Rule Making (``Seventh FNPRM''), FCC 06-150,
released October 20, 2006 in MB Docket No. 87-268 (71 FR 66592,
November 15, 2006), finalizing the DTV channel election process and
beginning the final stage of the transition of the nation's broadcast
television system from analog to digital technology. In the Seventh
FNPRM, the Commission proposed a new DTV Table of Allotments providing
eligible stations with channels for DTV operations after the DTV
transition.
In paragraph 53 of the Seventh FNPRM, the Commission noted that
additional pending applications may be granted before an Order
finalizing the new DTV Table is adopted. The Commission stated that, to
the extent possible, it would accommodate the future new permittees in
the proposed new DTV Table and, to provide interested parties with the

The Media Bureau hereby announces TCDs for six permittees that
attained
[[Page 2486]]
permittee status during the pendency of the rulemaking proceeding and,
therefore, were not reflected in the proposed new DTV Table released on
October 20, 2006. Included is a list of these permittees together with
the channel we propose to assign the permittee. This information
revises the proposed new DTV Table of Allotments of the Seventh FNPRM.
In addition, we have attached the specific technical facilities--
