(a) Prior notification. Public safety
licensees authorized to operate in the
763–775 MHz and 793–805 MHz bands
may notify any licensee authorized to
operate in the 746–757, 758–763, 776–
787, or 788–793 MHz bands that they
wish to receive prior notification of the
activation or modification of the
licensee’s base or fixed stations in their
area. Thereafter, the 746–757, 758–763,
776–787, or 788–793 MHz band licensee
must provide the following information
to the public safety licensee at least 10
business days before a new base or fixed

it believes a proposed base or fixed
station will generate unacceptable
interference;
(2) Permit 746–757, 758–763, 776–
787, and 788–793 MHz band licensees
to make voluntary changes in base or

(1) Upon request by a 746–757, 758–

authorized to operate radio systems in
the 763–775 and 793–805 MHz bands
shall provide the operating parameters
of their radio system to the 746–757,
758–763, 776–787, or 788–793 MHz
band licensee.
(2) Public safety licensees who
perform the information exchange
described in this section must notify the
appropriate 746–757, 758–763, 776–787,

AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) published in the
Federal Register of August 24, 2007, a
document concerning the adoption of
final rules governing wireless licenses
in the 698–806 MHz Band (i.e., the 700
MHz Band). (72 FR 48814) This
document corrects and amends portions
of that document.
DATES: Effective November 29, 2007,
except for the amendments to §§ 27.14,
27.15, and 27.50 which contain
information collection requirements that
have not been approved by the Office of
Management and Budget. The
Commission will publish a document in
the Federal Register announcing the
effective date.

Management Measures
National Marine Fisheries
Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),
Commerce.
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: This final rule establishes the
2008 first trimester season commercial
quotas for large coastal sharks (LCS),
small coastal sharks (SCS), and pelagic
sharks based on over- or underharvests
from the 2007 first trimester season.
This action provides advance notice of
quotas and season dates for the Atlantic
commercial shark fishery. It also
ensures the measures in this action are
in place until they are replaced by those
implemented under Amendment 2 to
the Highly Migratory Species (HMS)
Consolidated Fishery Management Plan
(FMP) even if Amendment 2 is finalized
after the start of the second trimester
season (May 1, 2008). As such, this
action constitutes the regulatory action
to determine quotas and season lengths
for LCS, SCS and pelagic sharks for the
2008 second trimester season. However,
if Amendment 2 to the HMS FMP is
unexpectedly delayed beyond the end of
the 2008 second trimester season, NMFS
may consider a rulemaking for the 2008
third trimester seasons. NMFS would
announce any additional action for the
second and third seasons in a future
Federal Register notice.
DATES: This rule is effective January 1,
2008. The Atlantic commercial shark
fishing season opening and closing
dates and quotas for the 2008 first and
second trimester seasons are provided
in Tables 1 and 2, respectively, under
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Sfmt 4700
The Atlantic shark fishery is managed
under the authority of the MagnusonStevens Fishery Conservation and
Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens
Act). The Consolidated HMS FMP for
Atlantic Sharks, Tunas, Swordfish and
Billfish is implemented by regulations
at 50 CFR part 635.
Currently, the Atlantic shark annual
commercial quotas, with the exception
of pelagic sharks, are split among three
regions based on historic landings (1999
- 2003). Consistent with 50 CFR
635.27(b)(1)(iii) and (iv), the annual LCS
baseline quota (1,017 mt dw) is split
among the three regions as follows: 52
percent to the Gulf of Mexico, 41
percent to the South Atlantic, and 7
percent to the North Atlantic. The
annual SCS baseline quota (454 mt dw)
is split among the three regions as
follows: 48 percent to the Gulf of
Mexico, 49 percent to the South
Atlantic, and 3 percent to the North
Atlantic. The regional quotas for LCS
and SCS are divided equally between
the trimester seasons in the South
Atlantic and the Gulf of Mexico, and
according to historical landings in the
North Atlantic.
Consistent with 50 CFR
635.27(b)(1)(vi), any over- or
underharvest in a given region from the
2007 first trimester season will be
carried over to the 2008 first trimester
season in that region.
As stated in the proposed rule,
existing regulations do not allow
underharvests of pelagic sharks to be
carried forward to the next fishing
management period. Therefore, the 2008
first trimester pelagic shark quotas do
not need to be reduced consistent with
the current regulations at 50 CFR
635.27(b)(1)(vi)(B). The 2008 first
trimester season quotas for pelagic, blue,
and porbeagle sharks are proposed to be
162.7 mt dw (358,688 lb dw), 91 mt dw
(200,619 lb dw), and 30.7 mt dw (67,681
lb dw), respectively. The pelagic shark
season would open on January 1, 2008
and would close when quotas are
projected to be reached with a
