Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 70 / Friday, April 11, 2014 / Rules and Regulations
VI. Statutory and Executive Order
Reviews
This final rule establishes tolerances
under FFDCA section 408(d) in
response to a petition submitted to the
Agency. The Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) has exempted these types
of actions from review under Executive
Order 12866, entitled ‘‘Regulatory
Planning and Review’’ (58 FR 51735,
October 4, 1993). Because this final rule
has been exempted from review under
Executive Order 12866, this final rule is
not subject to Executive Order 13211,
entitled ‘‘Actions Concerning
Regulations That Significantly Affect
Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use’’ (66
FR 28355, May 22, 2001) or Executive
Order 13045, entitled ‘‘Protection of
Children from Environmental Health
Risks and Safety Risks’’ (62 FR 19885,
April 23, 1997). This final rule does not
contain any information collections
subject to OMB approval under the
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) (44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), nor does it 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).
Since tolerances and exemptions that
are established on the basis of a petition
under FFDCA section 408(d), such as
the tolerance in this final rule, do not
require the issuance of a proposed rule,
the requirements of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (RFA) (5 U.S.C. 601 et
seq.), do not apply.
This final rule directly regulates
growers, food processors, food handlers,
and food retailers, not States or tribes,
nor does this action alter the
relationships or distribution of power
and responsibilities established by
Congress in the preemption provisions
of FFDCA section 408(n)(4). As such,
the Agency has determined that this
action will not have a substantial direct
effect on States or tribal governments,
on the relationship between the national
government and the States or tribal
governments, or on the distribution of
power and responsibilities among the
various levels of government or between
the Federal Government and Indian
tribes. Thus, the Agency has determined
that Executive Order 13132, entitled
‘‘Federalism’’ (64 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
VerDate Mar<15>2010
19:04 Apr 10, 2014
Jkt 232001
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995
(UMRA) (2 U.S.C. 1501 et seq.).
This action does not involve any
technical standards that would require
Agency consideration of voluntary
consensus standards pursuant to section
12(d) of the National Technology
Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995
(NTTAA) (15 U.S.C. 272 note).

Federal Communications
Commission.
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
In this document, the
Commission amends its rules to change
the date of the ‘‘substantial service’’
benchmarks applicable to 700 MHz
narrowband State licenses. This is
intended to conform the dates used for
the substantial service benchmarks
under the Commission rules to the
deadlines specified in the Commission’s
July 2011 Declaratory Ruling.
DATES: Effective April 11, 2014.

1. In 1998, the Commission
established the initial band plan and
service rules for the 24 megahertz of
public safety spectrum in the 700 MHz
SUMMARY:
E:\FR\FM\11APR1.SGM
11APR1
mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with RULES
20106
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 70 / Friday, April 11, 2014 / Rules and Regulations
band that was reallocated from
television broadcast use as a result of
the DTV transition. In 2000, the
Commission designated 2.4 megahertz
of the 700 MHz narrowband spectrum
for statewide geographic licensing. In
addition, the Commission also
established ‘‘substantial service’’
performance requirements for the
narrowband State licenses, which
included five- and ten-year benchmarks
for state licensees to establish specified
levels of substantial service within their
statewide license areas. The
Commission determined that these
benchmarks would be calculated based
upon the anticipated completion date of
the DTV transition: January 1, 2007.
Accordingly, the Commission
established its five- and ten-year
benchmark deadlines listed in § 90.529
based upon this January 1, 2007 date.
Subsequently, however, the
Commission extended the DTV
transition date to June 12, 2009.
2. In July 2011, the Commission
issued a Declaratory Ruling establishing
that the five- and ten-year substantial
service deadlines set forth in § 90.529
begin with the June 12, 2009 amended
DTV transition date. Accordingly, the
five- and ten-year substantial service
deadlines occur on June 13, 2014 and
June 13, 2019, respectively.
3. In this Order, the Commission’s
Public Safety and Homeland Security
Bureau, on delegated authority,
conforms the ‘‘substantial service’’
deadlines in § 90.529(b) for 700 MHz
public safety state-licensees to comply
with the deadlines listed in the
Commission’s July 2011 Declaratory
Ruling. Thus, this Order revises the
language of § 90.529(b) to accurately
reflect the date determined in the
Declaratory Ruling.
4. The Order merely revises the
language in § 90.529(b) to accurately
reflect the substantial service deadlines.
These revisions are thus ministerial,
non-substantive, and editorial.
Accordingly, the Bureau found good
cause to conclude that notice and
comment procedures are unnecessary
and would serve no useful purpose.
Because the rule revisions will not affect
the substantive rights or interests of any
licensee, the Bureau also found good
cause to make these non-substantive,
editorial revisions of the rules effective
upon publication in the Federal
Register.
5. The Bureau adopted this Order
pursuant to its delegated authority to
‘‘conduct[] rulemaking proceedings’’ in
matters pertaining to public safety and
homeland security. Pursuant to § 0.392
of the Commission’s rules, the Bureau
Chief is ‘‘delegated authority to perform
VerDate Mar<15>2010
17:05 Apr 10, 2014
Jkt 232001
all functions of the Bureau, described in
. . . § 0.191’’ with certain specified
exceptions. Specifically, § 0.392(e)
provides that the Bureau can make
ministerial amendments to rule parts,
with specific exceptions ‘‘where novel
questions of fact, law or policy are not
involved.’’ None of those exceptions is
present here.
A. Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis
6. Because the Commission adopted
this Order without the publication of a
notice of proposed rulemaking, the
Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601
et seq., does not require the Commission
to prepare a regulatory flexibility
analysis.
B. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
Analysis
7. This document does not contain
new or modified information collection
requirements subject to the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104–
13. Therefore, it does not contain any
new or modified 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).
Ordering Clauses
8. Accordingly, it is ordered that,
pursuant to sections 1, 2, 4(i), 303(r),
332 and 337 of the Communications Act
of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. 151, 152,
154(i), 303(r), 332 and 337, and §§ 0.191
and 0.392(e), 47 CFR 0.191, 0.392(e), the
Order in WT Docket No. 96–86, DA 12–
1942 is hereby adopted.
9. It is further ordered that, pursuant
to 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the rules adopted
herein will become effective upon
publication in the Federal Register.
10. It is further ordered that the
Bureau shall send a copy of the Order
in WT Docket No. 96–86, DA 12–1942
in a report to Congress and the General
Accounting Office pursuant to the
Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C.
