Synopsis
By this document, we extend the
deadline for filing reply comments in
response to the NPRM in WT Docket No.
13–301 to allow parties to more
thoroughly address the technical issues
raised in the NPRM and in the record.
Interested parties now will have until
May 16, 2014, to file reply comments.
On February 28, 2014, AeroMobile
Communications Limited
(‘‘AeroMobile’’) and Panasonic Avionics
Corporation (‘‘Panasonic’’), jointly, and
CTIA—The Wireless Association
(‘‘CTIA’’) filed requests to extend the
reply comment deadline in response to
the NPRM by 60 days, to May 16, 2014.
The Joint Motion and the CTIA Request
contend that this extension is warranted
for parties to properly address the
complicated technological, legal, and
policy issues raised by the NPRM and
the initial comments. The Joint Motion
and the CTIA request also assert that the
additional time will provide various
stakeholders—including AeroMobile,
Panasonic, and CTIA—ample
opportunity to consult with each other
on technical issues.
Specifically, the Joint Motion states
that more time is necessary for
consultations regarding ‘‘the technical
studies and authorization regime
supporting in-flight mobile
communications in Europe and
E:\FR\FM\17MRP1.SGM
17MRP1
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 51 / Monday, March 17, 2014 / Proposed Rules
elsewhere.’’ The Joint Motion also notes
that an extension of time would ‘‘enable
interested parties to consider comments
submitted in other proceedings,
including the Department of
Transportation Advance Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking seeking comment
on voice services onboard aircraft.’’
The CTIA Request similarly states that
an extension is needed so that parties
can ‘‘conduct much needed interference
and other technological analyses,
consider other existing studies beyond
those discussed in the NPRM, and
follow up on questions and issues
sparked by commenters who discussed
the inflight systems that have been
deployed abroad.’’ The CTIA Request
also notes the large number of
comments that have been filed in the
docket, stating that ‘‘[t]he Commission
should strive to ensure that the record
contains a meaningful opportunity to
contribute input into this highly
watched rulemaking.’’
It is the general policy of the
Commission that extensions of time
shall not be routinely granted. However,
under these circumstances, we agree
that an extension of time to file reply
comments is warranted to ensure that
the Commission obtains a complete and
thorough technical record in response to
the NPRM. The NPRM specifically
sought comment on technological
solutions that may enable interferencefree operation of wireless devices
aboard airborne aircraft, and requested
that commenters provide technical
analysis in support of their comments.
We conclude that a short extension of
time is warranted to enable interested
parties sufficient opportunity to review
and respond to the complex technical
issues raised by the NPRM. Accordingly,
pursuant to § 4(i) of the
Communications Act of 1934, as
amended, and § 1.46 of the
Commission’s rules, we extend the
deadline for filing reply comments until
May 16, 2014.

ACTION: Proposed rule; request for
comments.
AGENCY:
NMFS is proposing two
actions in this rulemaking: A
requirement for daily Vessel Monitoring
System (VMS) catch reporting for
vessels declared to fish in the Eastern
U.S./Canada Area; and the de minimis
amount of unused fishing year (FY)
2013 sector annual catch entitlement
(ACE) that may be carried over,
beginning in FY 2014, without being
subject to potential accountability
measures. The revision to the reporting
requirement is necessary to better
ensure accurate and timely Eastern U.S./
Canada Area catch reporting for quota
monitoring purposes. The proposed de
minimis carryover amount is necessary
to complete the carryover process NMFS
described for FY 2014 in conjunction
with the May 2013 rulemaking for
Framework Adjustment 50 to the
Northeast (NE) Multispecies Fishery
Management Plan (FMP). The intended
effect of these actions is to inform the
public and solicit public comment on
NMFS’s proposed measures.

1. Background
Eastern U.S./Canada Area Daily VMS
Reporting. Prior to FY 2013, the
regulatory text for the catch monitoring/
attribution program for Georges Bank
(GB) cod and haddock required that all
GB cod and haddock caught on a trip in
which a vessel fished in both the
Western and Eastern U.S./Canada Areas
be attributed to the Eastern Area. In
practice, we attributed catch of these
stocks to areas fished based on our
understanding that Amendment 16 to
the FMP intended this result, and that
the regulatory text was inadvertently left
unchanged from pre-Amendment 16
measures.
In commenting on a proposed rule (78
FR 18188; March 25, 2013) that
included a measure to correct this
inadvertent language holdover, the New
