2008 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Audio Division grants a Petition for Rule Making issued at the request of Katherine Pyeatt, proposing the allotment of Channel 245C3 at Christine, Texas, as its first local aural transmission service. The reference coordinates for Channel 245C3 at Christine are 28-40-00 NL and 98-30-15 WL, located 13.6 kilometers (8.4 miles) south of Christine. Additionally, a counterproposal filed by Linda Crawford was dismissed, requesting the allotments of Channel 245A at Christine, Texas, and Channel 250A at Tilden, Texas, as first local aural transmission services. To accommodate the proposed Tilden allotment, the counterproposal requests the substitution of Channel 296A for vacant Channel 250A at George West, Texas, which in turn requires the substitution of Channel 246A for Channel 296A at Beeville, Texas, and modification of the Station KRXB(FM) license. We hereby change the effective date of this final rule in compliance with 47 CFR 1.427 because the final rule was never published in the Federal Register. Accordingly, the Report and Order is made effective 30 days from the time the final rule for the above caption proceeding is published in the Federal Register.

This document makes final the interim rule that was published on January 9, 2004, with minor changes to both parts 215 and 218. This rule establishes a process by which the public may file objections to seek administrative review of proposed hazardous fuel reduction projects authorized by the Healthy Forests Restoration Act of 2003 (HFRA), Public Law 108-148. Section 105 of the act directs the Secretary of Agriculture to publish final regulations following public comment on the interim final regulations. This final rule refines the HFRA objection procedures based on public comment and agency experience applying the interim final rule. These changes add clarity to the procedural direction, describe authorized hazardous fuel reduction projects not subject to objection, clarify notification requirements, clarify the eligibility criteria for who may file an objection, provide for the incorporation of certain documents into objections by reference, and clarify how timeliness of objection filing will be determined.

The public is invited to comment on the proposed information collection pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.

The North Pacific Fishery Management Council has submitted Amendment 73 to the Fishery Management Plan for Groundfish of the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Management Area and Amendment 77 to the Fishery Management Plan for Groundfish of the Gulf of Alaska (collectively, Amendments 73/77) for Secretarial (Commerce) approval. If approved, Amendments 73/77 would remove dark rockfish (Sebastes ciliatus) from both fishery management plans (FMPs). Consequently, the State of Alaska would then assume management of dark rockfish in the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Management Area and the Gulf of Alaska. This action is necessary to allow the State of Alaska to implement more responsive, regionally based management of dark rockfish than is currently possible under the FMPs. This action would improve conservation and management of dark rockfish and is intended to promote the goals and objectives of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, the FMPs, and other applicable laws.
