Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 22 / Friday, February 1, 2013 / Rules and Regulations
FR 43255, August 10, 1999) and
Executive Order 13175, entitled
‘‘Consultation and Coordination with
Indian Tribal Governments’’ (65 FR
67249, November 9, 2000) do not apply
to this final rule. In addition, this final
rule does not impose any enforceable
duty or contain any unfunded mandate
as described under Title II of the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995
(UMRA) (2 U.S.C. 1501 et seq.).
Although this action does not require
any special considerations under
Executive Order 12898, entitled
‘‘Federal Actions to Address
Environmental Justice in Minority
Populations and Low-Income
Populations’’ (59 FR 7629, February 16,
1994), EPA seeks to achieve
environmental justice, the fair treatment
and meaningful involvement of any
group, including minority and/or lowincome populations, in the
development, implementation, and
enforcement of environmental laws,
regulations, and policies. As such, to the
extent that information is publicly
available or was submitted in comments
to EPA, the Agency considered whether
groups or segments of the population, as
a result of their location, cultural
practices, or other factors, may have
atypical or disproportionately high and
adverse human health impacts or
environmental effects from exposure to
the pesticide discussed in this
document, compared to the general
population.
XI. Congressional Review Act
Pursuant to the Congressional Review
Act (5 U.S.C. 801 et seq.), EPA will
submit a report containing this rule and
other required information to the U.S.
Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller
General of the United States prior to
publication of the rule in the Federal
Register. This action is not a ‘‘major
rule’’ as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).

Synopsis
As required by the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3507),
the FCC is notifying the public that it
received OMB approval on January 7,
2013, which contained new or modified
information collection requirements for
Fixed Service (FS) operators to comply
with the Rural Microwave Flexibility
Policy adopted in the Wireless Backhaul
Second Report and Order, directing the
Commission’s Wireless
Telecommunications Bureau to
favorably consider waivers of the
payload capacity requirements if FS
applicants demonstrate compliance
with certain criteria, and that the Rural
Microwave Flexibility Policy would not
be effective until approved by the Office
of Management and Budget. The
information collection was adopted in
the Report and Order in WT Docket No.
10–153 which appears at 77 FR 54421
(September 5, 2012). The effective date
of the rules adopted in that Report and
Order was published as October 5, 2012,
except for the Rural Microwave
Flexibility Policy. Through this
document, the Commission announces
that it has received this approval (OMB
Control No. 3060–0718, Expiration Date:
January 31, 2016) and that the Rural
Microwave Flexibility Policy became
effective on January 7, 2013.

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
No questions of a confidential nature are

Needs and Uses: On August 3, 2012,
the Commission adopted the Rural
Microwave Flexibility Policy, which
directed the Wireless
Telecommunications Bureau to
favorably consider waivers of the
requirements for payload capacity of
equipment, if the applicants
demonstrate equipment compliance
with the following criteria:
Æ The interference environment
would allow the applicant to use a less
stringent Category B antenna (although
the applicant could choose to use a
higher performance Category A
antenna);
Æ The applicant specifically
acknowledges its duty to upgrade to a
Category A antenna and come into
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:08 Jan 31, 2013
Jkt 229001
compliance with the applicable
efficiency standard if necessary to
resolve an interference conflict with a
current or future microwave link
pursuant to § 101.115(c);
Æ The applicant uses equipment that
is capable of readily being upgraded to
comply with the applicable payload
capacity requirement, and provide a
certification in its application that its
equipment complies with this
requirement;
Æ Each end of the link is located in
a rural area (county or equivalent having
population density of 100 persons per
square mile or less);
Æ Each end of the link is in a county
with a low density of links in the 4, 6,
11, 18, and 23 GHz bands;
Æ Neither end of the link is contained
within a recognized antenna farm; and
Æ The applicant describes its
proposed service and explains how
relief from the efficiency standards will
facilitate providing that service (e.g., by
eliminating the need for an intermediate
hop) as well as the steps needed to come
into compliance should an interference
conflict emerge.
These requirements are necessary for
the Commission staff to carry out its
duties to determine whether applicants
would be eligible for a waiver of the
payload capacity requirements. In
addition, the information is used to
determine whether the public interest,
convenience, and necessity are being
served as required by 47 U.S.C. 309.
Without this information, the
Commission would not be able to carry
out its statutory responsibilities.

ACTION:
NMFS increases the trip limit
in the commercial sector for king
mackerel in the Florida east coast
subzone to 75 fish per day in or from the
exclusive economic zone (EEZ). This
trip limit increase is necessary to
maximize the socioeconomic benefits of
the quota.

March 31, 2013, unless changed by
further notification in the Federal
Register.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
fishery for coastal migratory pelagic fish
(king mackerel, Spanish mackerel, and
cobia) is managed under the Fishery
Management Plan for the Coastal
Migratory Pelagic Resources of the Gulf
of Mexico and South Atlantic (FMP).
The FMP was prepared by the Gulf of
Mexico and South Atlantic Fishery
Management Councils (Councils) and is
implemented under the authority of the
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act
(Magnuson-Stevens Act) by regulations
at 50 CFR part 622.
On January 30, 2012 (76 FR 82058,
December 29, 2011), NMFS
implemented a commercial quota of
1,215,228 lb (551,218 kg) for Gulf
migratory group king mackerel in the
Florida east coast subzone of the eastern
zone (50 CFR 622.42(c)(1)(i)(A)(1)), for
the current fishing year, July 1, 2012,
through June 30, 2013. From November
1 through March 31 annually, the
Florida east coast subzone of the Gulf
group king mackerel is that part of the
eastern zone north of 25°20.4′ N. lat. (a
line directly east from the Miami-Dade/
Monroe County, FL, boundary).
In accordance with 50 CFR
622.44(a)(2)(i)(B)(2), beginning on
February 1, if less than 75 percent of the
Florida east coast subzone king
mackerel commercial quota has been
harvested by that date, king mackerel in
or from that subzone may be possessed
on board or landed from a permitted
vessel in amounts not exceeding 75 fish
per day. NMFS has determined that 75
percent of the quota for Gulf group king
mackerel in the Florida east coast
subzone will not be reached before
February 1, 2013. Accordingly, a 75-fish
trip limit applies to vessels fishing for
king mackerel in or from the EEZ in the
Florida east coast subzone effective
12:01 a.m., local time, February 1, 2013.
