Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 59 / Monday, March 28, 2016 / Rules and Regulations
Lhorne on DSK5TPTVN1PROD with RULES
Order 13045, entitled ‘‘Protection of
Children from Environmental Health
Risks and Safety Risks’’ (62 FR 19885,
April 23, 1997). This action 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 action 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 action. In addition, this action
does not impose any enforceable duty or
contain any unfunded mandate as
described under Title II of the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act (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
(NTTAA) (15 U.S.C. 272 note).
VII. Congressional Review Act
Pursuant to the Congressional Review
Act (5 U.S.C. 801 et seq.), EPA will
submit a report containing this rule and
other required information to the U.S.
Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller
General of the United States prior

used allow Class A television stations to make changes in their
authorized facilities. Specifically, Class A stations assigned to a new
channel following the Incentive Auction must file a minor change
application on FCC Form 2100, Schedule E following release of the
Channel Reassignment Public Notice. Under certain circumstances,
licensees of stations reassigned to a new channel within their existing
band to propose transmission facilities in their construction permit
applications that will extend their coverage contours. In addition,
there will be a priority processing window for licensees of reassigned
stations, UHF-to-VHF stations, or High-VHF-to-Low-VHF stations that,
for reasons beyond their control, are unable to construct facilities
that meet the technical parameters specified in the Channel
Reassignment Public Notice, or the permissible contour coverage
variance from those technical parameters specified in section
73.3700(b)(1)(ii) or (iii). Channel sharee stations file a minor change
application for a construction permit for the channel on which the
channel sharer operates at least sixty (60) days prior to the date by
which it must terminate operations on its pre-auction channel and must
include a copy of the channel sharing agreement. In addition, subject
to limitations set out in the rules, a Class A licensee of a reassigned
station, a UHF-to-VHF station, or a High-VHF-to-Low-VHF station may
file a minor change application for a construction permit on FCC Form
2100 Schedule E during a filing window to be announced by the Media
Bureau by public notice, in order to request a change in the technical
parameters specified in the Channel Reassignment Public Notice with
respect to height above average terrain (HAAT), effective radiated
power (ERP), or transmitter location that would be considered a minor
change under sections 73.3572(a)(1), (2) or 74.787(b). FCC Form 2100,
Schedule E was modified to accommodate new channel sharing provisions.
OMB approved the requirements.
