Privacy Impact Assessment: No impact(s). Needs and Uses: On August 9, 2013, the Federal Communications Commission (Commission) released a Report and Order (R&O) titled, ‘‘In the Comprehensive Review of Licensing and Operating Rules for Satellite Services,’’ FCC 13–111. In this R&O, the Commission adopted comprehensive changes to Part 25 of the Commission’s rules, which governs licensing and operation of space stations and earth stations for the provision of satellite communication services. Many of the amendments are substantive changes intended to afford licensees as much operational flexibility as possible consistent with minimizing harmful interference and easing administrative burdens on licensees, applicants, and the Commission. Additionally, this information collection is revised by incorporating existing separate information collection requirements under Part 25 into this information collection. Specifically, the revision of OMB Control No. 3060–0678 (Part 25 of the Commission’s Rules) consolidated information collections that were approved under OMB Control Nos. 3060–0768 (28 GHz Band Segmentation Plan), 3060–0955 (2 GHz Mobile Satellite Service Reports), 3060–0962 (Redesignation of the 18 GHz Band), 3060–0994 (Flexibility for Delivery of Communications by MSS Providers), 3060–1013 (Mitigation of Orbital Debris), 3060–1014 (Ku-band NGSO FSS), 3060–1059 (Global Mobile Personal Communications by Satellite (GMPCS)/E911 Call Centers), 3060–1061 (Earth Stations on Board Vessels (ESVs)), 3060–1066 (Renewal of Application for Satellite Space and Earth Station Authorization), 3060–1067 (Qualification Questions), 3060–1095 (Surrenders of Authorizations), 3060– 1097 (Rules for Broadcasting Satellite Service), 3060–1106 (Vehicle Mounted Earth Stations (VMES)), 3060–1108 (Consummation of Assignments and Transfers of Control), 3060–1153 (Satellite Digital Radio Service (SDARS)), and 3060–1187 (Earth Stations Aboard Aircraft (ESAA)) into collection 3060–0678. Therefore, the number of respondents, number of responses, annual burden hours and annual costs have been amended from the previous submission that was approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) on March 13, 2013. The information collection requirements accounted for in this VerDate Mar<15>2010 14:42 Sep 02, 2014 Jkt 232001 collection are needed to determine the technical and legal qualifications of applicants or licensees to operate a station and to determine whether the authorization is in the public interest, convenience, and necessity. Without such information, the Commission could not determine whether to permit respondents to provide telecommunications services in the United States. Therefore, the Commission would not be able to fulfill its statutory responsibilities in accordance with the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and the obligations imposed on parties to the World Trade Organization (WTO) Basic Telecom Agreement.

The Report and Order in this consolidated proceeding, inter alia, allotted Channel 256A at Lexington, Michigan, on an unreserved basis in response to a Counterproposal filed by Czelada. See 71 FR 246, January 4, 2006. Czelada seeks reconsideration because the Report and Order was silent on his alternative request to reserve Channel 256A at Lexington for NCE use. Liggett Communications, a broadcast licensee that was not previously a party to this proceeding, expresses an interest in Channel 256A on an unreserved basis and argues that the channel should not be reserved for NCE use because Czelada had made ‘‘no showing’’ for the reservation. In the Memorandum Opinion and Order, the staff takes three actions. First, although Czelada’s Petition for Reconsideration was improperly addressed and was not received at the Office of the Secretary by the filing deadline, the staff, on its own motion, waives § 1.429(d) and (h) of the Commission’s rules in order to reach the merits. Second, contrary to Leggett’s contention, the staff finds that Czelada’s reservation showing was sufficient and that the public interest would be served by reserving Channel 256A at Lexington for NCE use because the allotment would provide a first or second NCE service to 4,090 persons. Third, the staff concludes that Liggett’s expression of interest in Channel 256A at Lexington is late filed and cannot be considered. Although the Report and Order allotted Channel 256A at Lexington, Michigan, on an unreserved basis, we note that the channel was inadvertently removed. See 71 FR 76208, December 20, 2006. Accordingly, we add the channel and reserve it for NCE use. The Commission will send a copy of the Memorandum Opinion and Order in a report to Congress and the Government Accountability Office pursuant to the Congressional Review Act, see 5 U.S.C. 801(a)(1)(A).

ACTION: Final rule. AGENCY: This rule prescribes special early-season migratory bird hunting regulations for certain tribes on Federal Indian reservations, off-reservation trust lands, and ceded lands. This rule responds to tribal requests for U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (hereinafter Service or we) recognition of tribal authority to regulate hunting under established guidelines. This rule allows the establishment of season bag limits and, thus, harvest, at levels compatible with populations and habitat conditions. DATES: This rule takes effect on September 1, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) of July 3, 1918 (40 Stat. 755; 16 U.S.C. 703 et seq.), authorizes and directs the Secretary of the Department of the Interior, having due regard for the zones of temperature and for the distribution, abundance, economic value, breeding habits, and times and lines of flight of migratory game birds, to determine when, to what extent, and by what means such birds or any part, nest, or egg thereof may be taken, hunted, captured, killed, possessed, sold, purchased, shipped, carried, exported, or transported. In the August 11, 2014, Federal Register (79 FR 46940), we proposed special migratory bird hunting regulations for the 2014–15 hunting season for certain Indian tribes, under the guidelines described in the June 4, 1985, Federal Register (50 FR 23467). The guidelines respond to tribal requests for Service recognition of their reserved hunting rights, and for some tribes, recognition of their authority to regulate hunting by both tribal members and nonmembers on their reservations. The guidelines include possibilities for: (1) On-reservation hunting by both tribal members and nonmembers, with hunting by nontribal members on some reservations to take place within Federal frameworks but on dates different from those selected by the surrounding State(s); (2) On-reservation hunting by tribal members only, outside of usual Federal frameworks for season dates and length, and for daily bag and possession limits; and (3) Off-reservation hunting by tribal members on ceded lands, outside of usual framework dates and season length, with some added flexibility in daily bag and possession limits. In all cases, the regulations established under the guidelines must be consistent with the March 10– September 1 closed season mandated by the 1916 Migratory Bird Treaty with Canada. We have successfully used the guidelines since the 1985–86 hunting ADDRESSES: E:\FR\FM\03SER1.SGM 03SER1
