ACTION: Proposed rule. AGENCY: The Commission has before it a petition for rulemaking filed by Western Pacific Broadcast, LLC (‘‘Western Pacific’’), the permittee of unbuilt station WMDE(TV), Channel 5, Seaford, Delaware, requesting an amendment of the DTV Table of Allotments to delete Channel 5 at Seaford and substitute Channel 5 at Dover, Delaware. Western Pacific further requests modification of WMDE(TV)’s construction permit to specify Dover, Delaware as the station’s community license and seeks a waiver of the Commission’s freeze on the filing of petitions for rulemaking by televisions stations seeking to change their community of license. Western Pacific asserts that its proposal to reallot Channel 5 to Dover is based on the technical specifications currently authorized for WMDE(TV), and therefore the new allotment will be mutually exclusive with the station’s existing allotment. Western Pacific further states that its proposal meets the Commission’s allotment priorities by providing Dover with its first local television service, and that Seaford will remain well-served after the reallotment because full-power noncommercial station WDPB(TV), Channel *44, will remain licensed to that community. Therefore, Western Pacific submits that this rulemaking will serve the public interest. sroberts on DSK5SPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS SUMMARY: Comments must be filed on or before April 3, 2013, and reply comments on or before April 18, 2013.

ACTION: Proposed rule. AGENCY: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, propose to revise our regulations regarding the approval of nontoxic shot types to make the regulations easier to understand. The language governing determination of Expected Environmental Concentrations (EECs) in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems is altered to make clear the shot size and number of shot to be used in calculating the EECs. We propose to specify the pH levels to be used in calculating the EEC in water. We also propose to move the requirement for in vitro testing to Tier 1, which will allow us to better assess applications and minimize the need for Tier 2 applications. We propose to add language for withdrawal of alloys that have been demonstrated to have detrimental environmental or biological effects, or for which no suitable fieldtesting device is available. We expect these changes to reduce the time SUMMARY: E:\FR\FM\04MRP1.SGM 04MRP1
