This document does not contain proposed information collection requirements subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104–13. In addition, therefore, it does not contain any proposed information collection burden ‘‘for small business concerns with fewer than 25 employees,’’ pursuant to the Small Business Paperwork Relief Act of 2002, Public Law 107–198, see 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(4). The Commission will send a copy of this Report and Order in a report to be sent to Congress and the Government Accountability Office pursuant to the Congressional Review Act, see 5 U.S.C. 801(a)(1)(A). The allotment of Channel 267A at Linden was allotted herein to prevent removal of Linden’s sole local service due to the grant of a contingent hybrid community of license application, File No. BNPH–20070502AFM. The FM Table already lists vacant but applied for Channel 267A at Linden. See 67 FR 59213, published September 20, 2002. In this regard, George S. Flinn, Jr. was the winning bidder of this vacant Linden allotment in Auction 70 for authority to construct a new FM station. Thereafter, the applicant filed a hybrid community of license application to substitute Channel 264C3 for vacant but applied for Channel 267A at Linden, reallot Channel 264C3 from Linden to Waynesboro, Tennessee, as its first local service, and modify the new FM station license to specify Channel 264C3 at Waynesboro. See BNPH–20070502AFM. The application was granted dwashington3 on PRODPC61 with RULES ADDRESSES: VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:24 Nov 07, 2008 Jkt 217001 simultaneously with the release of the Report and Order in this proceeding. As a result, the Media Bureau’s Consolidated Database System will reflect the assignment of Channel 264C3 at Waynesboro, Tennessee in lieu of Channel 267A at Linden, Tennessee for this new FM station.

ACTION: Temporary rule; closure. AGENCY: SUMMARY: NMFS is prohibiting directed fishing for groundfish by vessels using trawl gear in the Gulf of Alaska (GOA), except for directed fishing for pollock by vessels using pelagic trawl gear in those portions of the GOA open to directed fishing for pollock. This closure also does not apply to fishing by vessels participating in the cooperative fishery in the Rockfish Pilot Program for the Central GOA. This action is necessary to prevent exceeding the 2008 Pacific halibut prohibited species catch (PSC) limit specified for vessels using trawl gear in the GOA.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NMFS manages the groundfish fishery in the GOA exclusive economic zone according to the Fishery Management Plan for Groundfish of the Gulf of Alaska (FMP) prepared by the North Pacific Fishery Management Council under authority of the Magnuson– Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act. Regulations governing fishing by U.S. vessels in accordance with the FMP appear at subpart H of 50 CFR part 600 and 50 CFR part 679. The 2008 Pacific halibut PSC limit for vessels using trawl gear was established as 2,000 metric tons by the 2008 and 2009 harvest specifications for groundfish of the GOA (73 FR 10562, February 27, 2008). In accordance with § 679.21(d)(7)(i), the Regional Administrator has determined that the 2008 Pacific halibut PSC limit allocated to vessels using trawl gear in the GOA will soon be reached. Therefore, NMFS is prohibiting directed fishing for groundfish by vessels using trawl gear in the GOA, except for directed fishing for pollock by vessels using pelagic trawl gear in E:\FR\FM\10NOR1.SGM 10NOR1
