Suspension of September 1, 2015 Digital Transition Date for Low Power Television and TV Translator Stations, 27862-27863 [2015-10226]

Download as PDF 27862 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 94 / Friday, May 15, 2015 / Rules and Regulations volatile organic compounds was not detected at the residential wells sampled. MDEQ stated they planned to include metals in the residential well sampling program beginning in 2008. Since the 2008 five year review, MDEQ coordinated with Berrien County to collect samples at local residential wells. The 2012 and 2013 results continued to show no detections of volatile organic compounds. Some of the locations were also sampled for metals analysis. None of the metals were detected at concentrations above MCLs although residences exceeded the aesthetic drinking water value of 0.3 mg/l for iron in a range of 0.72–1.42 mg/ l. Since no site-related impacts have been seen in the area residential well monitoring conducted over the last several years, MDEQ now believes that it is appropriate to delete the site from the NPL. While MDEQ had historical concerns regarding the adequacy of groundwater plume characterization, MDEQ now agrees that the implemented remedial actions have been sufficient to address the known risks at the Site. EPA has determined that the Site is subject to zoning by the local government and the Site is currently zoned for agricultural use. However, limiting the Site to agricultural land use is not a condition of the Superfund remedy. mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with RULES Operation and Maintenance The implemented remedial actions have been sufficient to address the known risks at the Site. In addition, nosite related impacts have been seen in the residential wells that have been monitored by the MDEQ over the past several years. Effective immediately, the MDEQ will terminate monitoring of the residential wells in the vicinity of the Burrows Sanitation Superfund Site. Five-Year Review A Five Year Review Report for the Site was completed in February 2013. In the report, EPA viewed the Burrows Sanitation Site as eligible for deletion from the NPL. There were no recommendations and follow-up actions noted in the 2013 Five Year Review Report. Since all clean up goals have been achieved and the site is now unlimited use/unrestricted exposure no additional Five Year Reviews are necessary. Community Involvement Public participation activities have been satisfied as required in CERCLA Section 113(k), 42 U.S.C. 9613(k), and CERCLA section 117, 42 U.S.C. 9617. Documents in the deletion docket which VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:43 May 14, 2015 Jkt 235001 EPA relied on for recommendation of the deletion of this site from the NPL are available to the public in the information repositories and at https:// www.regulations.gov. Determination That the Site Meets the Criteria for Deletion in the NCP The implemented remedy achieves the degree of cleanup specified in the ROD for all pathways of exposure. All selected remedial action objectives and clean-up goals are consistent with agency policy and guidance. No further Superfund response is needed to protect human health and the environment at the Site. The NCP (40 CFR 300.425(e)) states that a site may be deleted from the NPL when no further response action is appropriate. EPA, in consultation with the State of Michigan, has determined that all required response actions have been implemented and no further response action by the responsible parties is appropriate. V. Deletion Action EPA, with concurrence from the State of Michigan through the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality, has determined that all appropriate response actions under CERCLA have been completed. Therefore, EPA is deleting the Site from the NPL. Because EPA considers this action to be noncontroversial and routine, EPA is taking it without prior publication. This action will be effective July 14, 2015 unless EPA receives adverse comments by June 15, 2015. If adverse comments are received within the 30-day public comment period, EPA will publish a timely withdrawal of this direct final Notice of Deletion before the effective date of the deletion, and it will not take effect. EPA will prepare a response to comments and continue with the deletion process on the basis of the Notice of Intent to Delete and the comments already received. There will be no additional opportunity to comment.

ACTION: Temporary rule; General and Angling category retention limit adjustments for Atlantic bluefin tuna (BFT); Purse Seine category BFT fishery start date. AGENCY: NMFS is adjusting the General category BFT daily retention limit for June 1 through August 31, 2015, and the Angling category BFT daily retention limit for the remainder of 2015. In addition, NMFS is announcing July 6, 2015, as the start date for this year’s Purse Seine category fishery. The General category daily retention limit is adjusted to four large medium or giant BFT. This adjustment applies to Atlantic tunas General category (commercial) permitted vessels and HMS Charter/Headboat category permitted vessels when fishing commercially for BFT. The Angling category daily retention limit is adjusted to: Two school BFT and one large school/small medium BFT per vessel per day/trip for charter vessels (i.e., SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00011 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 27863 those with HMS Charter/Headboat permits when fishing recreationally); and one school BFT and one large school/small medium BFT per vessel per day/trip for private vessels (i.e., those with HMS Angling category permits). These retention limits are effective in all areas, except for the Gulf of Mexico, where NMFS prohibits targeted fishing for BFT. These actions are based on consideration of the applicable regulatory determination criteria. DATES: The Angling category retention limit is effective May 15, 2015 through December 31, 2015. The General category retention limit is effective June 1, 2015, through August 31, 2015. The Purse Seine category fishery will start July 6, 2015, and continue through December 31, 2015.

Section 635.27 subdivides the U.S. BFT quota recommended by the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT) among the various domestic fishing categories, per the allocations established in the 2006 Consolidated Highly Migratory Species Fishery Management Plan (2006 Consolidated HMS FMP) (71 FR 58058, October 2, 2006), as amended by Amendment 7 to the 2006 Consolidated HMS FMP (Amendment 7) (79 FR 71510, December 2, 2014), and in accordance with implementing regulations. NMFS is required under ATCA and the Magnuson-Stevens Act to provide U.S. fishing vessels with a reasonable opportunity to harvest the ICCATrecommended quota. The currently codified baseline U.S. quota is 923.7 mt (not including the 25 mt ICCAT allocated to the United States to account for bycatch of BFT in pelagic longline fisheries in the Northeast Distant Gear Restricted Area). Among other things, Amendment 7 revised the allocations to all quota categories, effective January 1, 2015. See § 635.27(a).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Effective May 15, 2015, the September 1, 
2015 digital transition date for LPTV and TV translator stations is 
suspended pending final action in the rulemaking proceeding in MB 
Docket No. 03-185 (79 FR 70824 (Nov. 28, 2014)). The Commission will 
decide on a new transition date in the rulemaking proceeding in MB 
Docket No. 03-185. Until a decision is reached in the rulemaking and 
the Commission can determine the effect of the future incentive auction 
and repacking, LPTV and TV translator stations may delay completing 
construction of their digital facilities. Class A television stations 
are still subject to the September 1, 2015 transition date and analog

local time, on September 1, 2015. Class A television stations that have 
not completed constructing their digital facilities by the transition 
date must go silent while they complete construction.
    Class A television stations are also reminded that the Commission 
has designated May 29, 2015, as the Pre-Auction Licensing Deadline by 
which Class A television stations' digital facilities must be licensed 
in order to be eligible for protection in the repacking process that 
will be part of the incentive auction. In order for a Class A 
television station's digital facility to be afforded protection in the 
repacking process, it must be licensed or have an application for a 
license to cover on file by the Pre-Auction Licensing Deadline. 
Although Class A television stations may wait until the September 1, 
2015, digital transition deadline to complete construction and license 
their digital facilities, those that do not have their digital
