(2) Each station sharing a single channel pursuant to this section shall continue to be licensed and operated separately, have its own call sign, and be separately subject to all of the Commission’s obligations, rules, and policies. (b) Licensing of channel sharing stations. A full power television channel sharing station relinquishing its channel must file an application for the initial channel sharing construction permit (FCC Form 2100), include a copy of the channel sharing agreement as an exhibit, and cross reference the other sharing station(s). Any engineering changes necessitated by the channel sharing agreement may be included in the station’s application. Upon initiation of shared operations, the station relinquishing its channel must notify the Commission that it has terminated operation pursuant to § 73.1750 and each sharing station must file an application for license (FCC Form 2100). (c) Deadline for implementing channel sharing agreements. Channel sharing agreements submitted pursuant to this section must be implemented within three years of the grant of the initial channel sharing construction permit. (d) Channel sharing agreements (CSAs). (1) Channel sharing agreements submitted under this section must contain provisions outlining each licensee’s rights and responsibilities regarding: (i) Access to facilities, including whether each licensee will have unrestrained access to the shared transmission facilities; (ii) Operation, maintenance, repair, and modification of facilities, including a list of all relevant equipment, a description of each party’s financial obligations, and any relevant notice provisions; and (iii) Termination or transfer/ assignment of rights to the shared licenses, including the ability of a new licensee to assume the existing CSA. (2) Channel sharing agreements submitted under this section must include a provision affirming compliance with the channel sharing requirements in this section including a provision requiring that each channel sharing licensee shall retain spectrum usage rights adequate to ensure a sufficient amount of the shared channel capacity to allow it to provide at least one Standard Definition (SD) program stream at all times. VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:29 Jul 13, 2015 Jkt 235001 (e) Termination and assignment/ transfer of shared channel. Upon termination of the license of a party to a CSA, the spectrum usage rights covered by that license may revert to the remaining parties to the CSA. Such reversion shall be governed by the terms of the CSA in accordance with paragraph (d)(1)(iv) of this section. If upon termination of the license of a party to a CSA only one party to the CSA remains, the remaining licensee may file an application to change its license to non-shared status using FCC Form 2100, Schedule B (for a full power licensee) or F (for a Class A licensee). (f) Notice to MVPDs. (1) Stations participating in channel sharing agreements must provide notice to MVPDs that: (i) No longer will be required to carry the station because of the relocation of the station; (ii) Currently carry and will continue to be obligated to carry a station that will change channels; or (iii) Will become obligated to carry the station due to a channel sharing relocation. (2) The notice required by this section must contain the following information: (i) Date and time of any channel changes; (ii) The channel occupied by the station before and after implementation of the CSA; (iii) Modification, if any, to antenna position, location, or power levels; (iv) Stream identification information; and (v) Engineering staff contact information. (3) Sharee stations (those relinquishing a channel in order to share) must provide notice as required by this section at least 30 days prior to terminating operations on the sharee’s channel. Sharer stations (those hosting a sharee as part of a channel sharing agreement) and sharee stations must provide notice as required by this section at least 30 days prior to initiation of operations on the sharer channel. Should the anticipated date to either cease operations or commence channel sharing operations change, the station(s) must send a further notice to affected MVPDs informing them of the new anticipated date(s). (4) Notifications provided to cable systems pursuant to this section must be either mailed to the system’s official address of record provided in the cable system’s most recent filing in the FCC’s Cable Operations and Licensing System (COALS) Form 322, or emailed to the system if the system has provided an email address. For all other MVPDs, the letter must be addressed to the official PO 00000 Frm 00031 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 corporate address registered with their State of incorporation.

ACTION: Proposed rule; 12-month petition finding; request for comments. AGENCY: We, NMFS, have completed a comprehensive status review under the SUMMARY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:44 Jul 13, 2015 Jkt 235001 Endangered Species Act (ESA) for three foreign marine angelshark species in response to a petition to list those species. These three species are the sawback angelshark (Squatina aculeata), smoothback angelshark (Squatina oculata), and common angelshark (Squatina squatina). Based on the best scientific and commercial information available, including the status review report (Miller 2015), and after taking into account efforts being made to protect these species, we have determined that these three angelshark species warrant listing as endangered under the ESA. We are not proposing to designate critical habitat because the geographical areas occupied by these species are entirely outside U.S. jurisdiction, and we have not identified any unoccupied areas that are currently essential to the conservation of any of these species. We are soliciting comments on our proposal to list these three angelshark species. DATES: Comments on this proposed rule must be received by September 14, 2015. Public hearing requests must be made by August 28, 2015. ADDRESSES: You may submit comments on this document, identified by NOAA– NMFS–2015–0084, by either of the following methods: • Electronic Submissions: Submit all electronic public comments via the Federal eRulemaking Portal.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Maggie Miller, NMFS, Office of Protected Resources (OPR), (301) 427– 8403. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On July 15, 2013, we received a petition from WildEarth Guardians to list 81 marine species or subpopulations as threatened or endangered under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). This petition included species from many different taxonomic groups, and we prepared our 90-day findings in batches by taxonomic group. We found that the petitioned actions may be warranted for 24 of the species and 3 of the subpopulations and announced the initiation of status reviews for each of the 24 species and 3 subpopulations (78 FR 63941, October 25, 2013; 78 FR 66675, November 6, 2013; 78 FR 69376, November 19, 2013; 79 FR 9880, February 21, 2014; and 79 FR 10104, February 24, 2014). This document addresses the findings for 3 of those 24 species: the sawback angelshark (Squatina aculeata), smoothback angelshark (Squatina oculata), and the common angelshark (Squatina squatina). The status of the findings and relevant Federal Register notices for the other 21 species and 3 subpopulations can be found on our Web site at https://www.nmfs.noaa.gov/pr/species/ petition81.htm. We are responsible for determining whether species are threatened or endangered under the ESA (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). To make this determination, we consider first whether a group of organisms constitutes a ‘‘species’’ under the ESA, then whether the status of the species qualifies it for listing as either threatened or endangered. Section 3 of the ESA defines a ‘‘species’’ to include ‘‘any subspecies of fish or wildlife or plants, and any distinct population segment of any species of vertebrate fish or wildlife which interbreeds when mature.’’ On February 7, 1996, NMFS and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS; together, the Services) adopted a policy describing what constitutes a distinct population segment (DPS) of a taxonomic species (the DPS Policy; 61 FR 4722). The DPS Policy identified two elements that must be considered when identifying a DPS: (1) The discreteness of the population segment in relation to the remainder of the species (or subspecies) to which it belongs; and (2) the significance of the population segment to the remainder of the species E:\FR\FM\14JYP1.SGM 14JYP1
