ACTION: Final rule; application for review. AGENCY: The Audio Division grants a settlement request filed by Dickenson County Broadcasting Corporation (‘‘Dickenson County’’), licensee of Station WDIC–FM, Clinchco, Virginia, and East Kentucky Broadcasting Corporation (‘‘East Kentucky’’), licensee of Station WPKE–FM, Coal Run, Kentucky. The staff dismisses Dickenson County’s Application for Review with prejudice and returns Stations WDIC–FM and WPKE–FM to the channels that they occupied before this proceeding commenced. See also Supplementary Information. DATES: September 5, 2014. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Andrew J. Rhodes, Media Bureau, (202) 418–2700. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is a synopsis of the Commission’s Memorandum Opinion and Order, MB Docket No. 04–319; DA 14–1198, adopted August 14, 2014, and released August 15, 2014. The full text of this Commission decision is available for inspection and copying during normal business hours in the FCC Reference Information Center (Room CY–A257), 445 12th Street, SW., Washington, DC. The complete text of this decision may also be purchased from the Commission’s copy contractor, Best Copy and Printing, Inc., Portals II, 445 12th Street, SW., Room CY–B402, Washington, DC 20054, telephone 1– 800–378–3160 or www.BCPIWEB.com. The Reconsideration Decision in this proceeding reinstated and granted a Petition for Rule Making filed by East Kentucky, upgrading its Station WPKE– FM, Coal Run, from Channel 276A to SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00054 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 Channel 221C3 at a new transmitter site. To accommodate the Station WPKE–FM upgrade, the Reconsideration Decision involuntarily modified the license for Dickenson County’s Station WDIC–FM, Clinchco, to specify operation on Channel 276A in lieu of Channel 221A. See 76 FR 44279, July 25, 2011. Dickenson had filed an Application for Review of the Reconsideration Decision. The staff finds that the settlement would serve the public interest because it would resolve a proceeding that has been pending for ten years. The staff also finds that the settlement complies with § 1.420(j) of the Commission’s rules. In order to implement the settlement, the staff modifies the Media Bureau’s Consolidated Data Base System to reflect as the reserved assignments for the listed stations: (1) Channel 276A in lieu of Channel 221C3 at Coal Run, Kentucky, for Station WPKE–FM, and (2) Channel 221A in lieu of Channel 276A at Clinchco, Virginia, for Station WDIC–FM. The staff also rescinded the Reconsideration Decision. Finally, as part of this settlement, the staff concurrently approves the dismissal of Dickenson County’s Petition to Deny directed against the WPKE–FM license renewal application and East Kentucky’s objection to the WDIC–FM license renewal application. The Commission will not send a copy of the Memorandum Opinion and Order pursuant to the Congressional Review Act, see 5 U.S. C. 801(a)(1)(A), because the Commission is not adopting any rules in the proceeding.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The snapper-grouper fishery of the South Atlantic, which includes red snapper, is managed under the Fishery Management Plan for the SnapperGrouper Fishery of the South Atlantic Region (FMP). The FMP was prepared by the Council and is implemented through regulations at 50 CFR part 622 under the authority of the MagnusonStevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act). The 2014 commercial ACL for red snapper in the South Atlantic is 50,994 lb (23,130 kg), gutted weight. This ACL was determined using formulas contained in the final rule to implement Amendment 28 to the FMP (78 FR 44461, July 24, 2013). Under 50 CFR 622.193(y)(1), NMFS is required to close the commercial sector for red snapper when the commercial ACL is reached, or is projected to be reached, by filing a notification to that effect with the Office of the Federal Register. NMFS opened the 2014 commercial sector at 12:01 a.m., local time, July 14, 2014, and monitored commercial harvest in-season. NMFS has determined that the commercial ACL for South Atlantic red snapper will have been reached by September 9, 2014. Accordingly, the commercial tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES SUMMARY: VerDate Mar<15>2010 14:09 Sep 04, 2014 Jkt 232001 sector for South Atlantic red snapper is closed effective 12:01 a.m., local time, September 9, 2014, and remains closed until NMFS determines when a commercial season for red snapper may occur. The operator of a vessel with a valid commercial vessel permit for South Atlantic snapper-grouper having red snapper onboard must have landed and bartered, traded, or sold such red snapper prior to 12:01 a.m., local time, September 9, 2014. During the closure, the harvest and possession and sale and purchase of red snapper in or from the South Atlantic EEZ are prohibited. The prohibition on sale or purchase does not apply to the sale or purchase of red snapper that were harvested, landed ashore, and sold prior to 12:01 a.m., local time, September 9, 2014, and were held in cold storage by a dealer or processor. For a person on board a vessel for which a Federal commercial or charter vessel/headboat permit for the South Atlantic snapper-grouper fishery has been issued, the sale and purchase provisions for commercial red snapper would apply regardless of whether the fish were harvested in state or Federal waters, as specified in 50 CFR 622.190(y)(1). Additionally, the recreational fishing season for red snapper is closed. In 2015, the total removals (landings and dead discards) for 2014 will be compared to the 2014 acceptable biological catch (ABC) to determine if the 2014 ABC was exceeded and thus whether limited commercial and recreational fishing seasons for red snapper can occur in 2015. If NMFS determines that limited commercial and recreational red snapper seasons can occur in 2015, NMFS will file a notification with the Office of the Federal Register to announce the opening dates of any commercial and recreational fishing seasons in 2015. A commercial fishing season would begin on the second Monday in July, and a recreational fishing season, consisting of weekends only (Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays) would begin on the second Friday in July. Classification The Regional Administrator, Southeast Region, NMFS has PO 00000 Frm 00055 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 9990 53007 determined this temporary rule is necessary for the conservation and management of South Atlantic red snapper and is consistent with the FMP, the Magnuson-Stevens Act, and other applicable laws. This action is taken under 50 CFR 622.193(y)(1) and is exempt from review under Executive Order 12866. These measures are exempt from the procedures of the Regulatory Flexibility Act because the temporary rule is issued without opportunity for prior notice and public comment. This action responds to the best available scientific information recently obtained from the fishery. The Assistant Administrator for Fisheries, NOAA, (AA), finds that the need to immediately implement this action to close the commercial sector for red snapper constitutes good cause to waive the requirements to provide prior notice and opportunity for public comment pursuant to the authority set forth in 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), as such procedures would be unnecessary and contrary to the public interest. Such procedures would be unnecessary because the rule itself has been subject to notice and comment, and all that remains is to notify the public of the closure. Allowing prior notice and opportunity for public comment is contrary to the public interest because of the need to immediately implement this action to protect red snapper since the capacity of the fishing fleet allows for rapid harvest of the commercial ACL. Prior notice and opportunity for public comment would require time and would potentially result in a harvest well in excess of the established commercial ACL. For the aforementioned reasons, the AA also finds good cause to waive the 30-day delay in the effectiveness of this action under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3). Authority: 16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.

SUMMARY: NMFS announces the closure of the 2014 commercial fishing 
season for red snapper in the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) of the 
South Atlantic through this temporary rule. Commercial landings for red 
snapper, as estimated by the Science and Research Director (SRD), are 
projected to reach the commercial annual catch limit (ACL) for red 
snapper by September 9, 2014. Therefore, NMFS closes the commercial 
sector for red snapper in the South Atlantic EEZ on September 9, 2014. 
This closure is necessary to protect the South Atlantic red snapper 
resource.

DATES: This closure is effective 12:01 a.m., local time, September 9, 
2014, until further notice, which NMFS will publish a document in the 
Federal Register.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The snapper-grouper fishery of the South 
Atlantic, which includes red snapper, is managed under the Fishery 
Management Plan for the Snapper-Grouper Fishery of the South Atlantic 
Region (FMP). The FMP was prepared by the Council and is implemented 
through regulations at 50 CFR part 622 under the authority of the 
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-

    Under 50 CFR 622.193(y)(1), NMFS is required to close the 
commercial sector for red snapper when the commercial ACL is reached, 
or is projected to be reached, by filing a notification to that effect 
with the Office of the Federal Register. NMFS opened the 2014 
commercial sector at 12:01 a.m., local time, July 14, 2014, and 
monitored commercial harvest in-season. NMFS has determined that the 
commercial ACL for South Atlantic red snapper will have been reached by 
September 9, 2014. Accordingly, the commercial sector for South 
Atlantic red snapper is closed effective 12:01 a.m., local time, 
September 9, 2014, and remains closed until NMFS determines when a 
commercial season for red snapper may occur.
    The operator of a vessel with a valid commercial vessel permit for 
South Atlantic snapper-grouper having red snapper onboard must have 
landed and bartered, traded, or sold such red snapper prior to 12:01 
a.m., local time, September 9, 2014. During the closure, the harvest 
and possession and sale and purchase of red snapper in or from the 
South Atlantic EEZ are prohibited. The prohibition on sale or purchase 
does not apply to the sale or purchase of red snapper that were 
harvested, landed ashore, and sold prior to 12:01 a.m., local time, 
September 9, 2014, and were held in cold storage by a dealer or

charter vessel/headboat permit for the South Atlantic snapper-grouper 
fishery has been issued, the sale and purchase provisions for 
commercial red snapper would apply regardless of whether the fish were 
harvested in state or Federal waters, as specified in 50 CFR 
622.190(y)(1). Additionally, the recreational fishing season for red 
snapper is closed.
    In 2015, the total removals (landings and dead discards) for 2014 
will be compared to the 2014 acceptable biological catch (ABC) to 
determine if the 2014 ABC was exceeded and thus whether limited 
commercial and recreational fishing seasons for red snapper can occur 
in 2015. If NMFS determines that limited commercial and recreational 
red snapper seasons can occur in 2015, NMFS will file a notification 
with the Office of the Federal Register to announce the opening dates 
of any commercial and recreational fishing seasons in 2015. A 
commercial fishing season would begin on the second Monday in July, and 
a recreational fishing season, consisting of weekends only (Fridays, 
Saturdays, and Sundays) would begin on the second Friday in July.

    The Regional Administrator, Southeast Region, NMFS has determined 
this temporary rule is necessary for the conservation and management of 
South Atlantic red snapper and is consistent with the FMP, the 
Magnuson-Stevens Act, and other applicable laws.
    This action is taken under 50 CFR 622.193(y)(1) and is exempt from 
review under Executive Order 12866.
    These measures are exempt from the procedures of the Regulatory 
Flexibility Act because the temporary rule is issued without 
opportunity for prior notice and public comment.
    This action responds to the best available scientific information 
recently obtained from the fishery. The Assistant Administrator for 
Fisheries, NOAA, (AA), finds that the need to immediately implement 
this action to close the commercial sector for red snapper constitutes 
good cause to waive the requirements to provide prior notice and
