SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On October 10, 2007, notice was published in the Federal Register (72 FR 57524) that an amendment of Permit No. 782– 1702 had been requested by the abovenamed organization. The requested amendment has been granted under the authority of the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.), and the regulations governing the taking and importing of marine mammals (50 CFR part 216). VerDate Aug<31>2005 22:03 Nov 23, 2007 Jkt 214001 The amended permit adds authorization to conduct additional activities on up to 20 adult harbor seals (Phoca vitulina) annually in Washington and Oregon. These seals, excluding pregnant or lactating females, would receive gas anesthesia following capture, have stomach temperature transmitters inserted via stomach intubation, and have an external data logger attached externally. The purpose of the additional protocols is to augment current studies on harbor seal diet and abundance. This amendment would not result in capture or disturbance of marine mammals beyond those numbers already authorized by the subject permit, which was issued on September 16, 2003 (68 FR 58663). In compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), a final determination has been made that the activity proposed is categorically excluded from the requirement to prepare an environmental assessment or environmental impact statement.

The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) is creating a new system of records for applications related to coupons for the Digital-to-Analog Converter Box program. Information will be collected from individuals under the authority of Title III of the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005, Pub. L. No. 109–171, 120 Stat. 4, 21 (Feb. 8, 2006) (hereinafter ‘‘the Act’’) and pursuant to regulations published by NTIA in 47 C.F.R. § 301. This new system of records is necessary to identify those households that qualify for and receive coupons towards the purchase of a digital-to-analog converter box. DATES: To be considered, written comments must be submitted on or before December 26, 2007. Unless comments are received, the new system of records will become effective as proposed on the date of publication of a subsequent notice in the Federal Register.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Stacy Cheney, Attorney-Advisor, Office of the Chief Counsel, National Telecommunications and Information Administration, Room 4713, 1401 Constitution Avenue, N.W., Washington, DC 20231. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NTIA is creating a new system of records for applications related to coupons for the Digital-to-Analog Converter Box program. The Digital Television and Public Safety Act of 2005 provides that households may receive coupons towards the purchase of digital-toanalog converter boxes by making a request as required by Section 301 of NTIA’s regulations. 47 C.F.R. § 301. The regulations permit households to request these coupons through an application process. Converter boxes are an option for consumers who wish to continue receiving full-power broadcast programming over the air using analogonly television sets after February 17, 2009 the date the law requires fullpower television stations to cease analog broadcasting. Without converter boxes, consumers with analog-only television sets not served by cable, satellite, or other pay service will be unable to view digital television broadcasts over the air. To help consumers who wish to continue receiving over-the-air broadcast programming using analogonly televisions not connected to cable or satellite service, Congress passed the Act which authorized NTIA to create a digital-to-analog converter box assistance program. The Act states that, as part of the program, eligible U.S. households may obtain no more than two coupons worth $40 each to apply towards the purchase of CECBs. To implement the Act’s requirements, NTIA published regulations in 47 C.F.R. § 301 setting forth the household application process. PO 00000 Frm 00007 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 65943 To support effective implementation of the program, the Act and the regulations require certain information to be collected from households that request coupons. Personally identifiable information will be collected. The personal information collected is pertinent to the implementation of the coupon program and will only be used for the coupon program. See 47 C.F.R. § 301. COMMERCE/NTIA–1 SYSTEM NAME: Applications Related to Coupons for Digital-to-Analog Converter Boxes SECURITY CLASSIFICATION: None. SYSTEM LOCATIONS: Converter Box Applicants’ Household Information will be maintained by NTIA’s Contractor, International Business Machines (IBM) at its Place(s) of Performance: Kansas City, KS; Wichita, KS; and Beverton, OR. CATEGORIES OF INDIVIDUALS COVERED BY THE SYSTEM: Households. CATEGORIES OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM --The following information is collected and/or maintained by NTIA and/or its Contractor: Households. 47 C.F.R. § 301 requires consumers to submit an application to NTIA’s Contractor that contains the following information to demonstrate the household’s eligibility to receive a digital-to-analog converter box coupon: (1) name; (2) address; (3) the number of coupons requested; and (4) a certification as to whether the household receives cable, satellite, or other pay television. AUTHORITIES FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE SYSTEM: Title III of the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005, Pub. L. No. 109–171, 120 Stat. 4, 21 (Feb. 8, 2006).
