operating under the authority of the
credential, the Coast Guard fully expects
that this evaluation will be performed
by a specialist trained to perform such
evaluations. The Coast Guard also notes
that while this testing may be timeconsuming and expensive, a formal
neuropsychological/neurocognitive
evaluation can provide critical
documentation on the presence or
absence of impairing medication effects
for those mariners seeking to use
potentially impairing medication, while
operating under the authority of the
credential. When the Coast Guard
determines that a formal
neuropsychological/neurocognitive
evaluation is needed, the results of the
assessment will be considered in the
context of the other extensive medical
documentation provided to determine
whether extenuating circumstances
exist that warrant special consideration
for a medical waiver. The decision of
whether such testing is too timeconsuming or too expensive will
ultimately be left up to the individual
mariner who seeks to demonstrate
extenuating circumstances.
On the question of which
neuropsychological/neurocognitive
functions should be measured, and the
appropriate standard for test outcome,
one commenter opined that such a
determination would require further
substantial research on individual job
requirements. Another commenter
recommended that the Coast Guard add
memory and communication skills to
the proposed list of neuropsychological/
neurocognitive domains, to make the
overall panel similar to that used by the
Federal Aviation Administration.
Another commenter recommended that
a witness observe the mariner applicant
taking the medication in question prior
to the administration of the
neuropsychological/neurocognitive
evaluation. The Coast Guard considered
all of these comments and noted that
there are already well-established,
validated testing measures for various
domains of neuropsychological/
neurocognitive functioning.
Additionally, other modes of
transportation have identified specific
neuropsychological/neurocognitive
domains that are critical for tasks such
as flying an airplane or for driving a
motor vehicle. The neuropsychological/
neurocognitive functions identified for
evaluation in the proposed policy reflect
those functions recommended as critical
for safe motor vehicle driving. In
consideration of the public comments,
the current policy has been revised to
include testing of memory and
communication skills as required

elements of the neuropsychological/
neurocognitive evaluation, when such
testing is requested by the Coast Guard.
The current policy also specifies that
medication administration should be
witnessed and documented by a
provider prior to the conduct of
neuropsychological/neurocognitive
evaluation, when such testing is
requested by the Coast Guard.

At the request of Gray
Television License, LLC, licensee of
station KDUH–TV, Channel 7,
Scottsbluff, Nebraska, and New
Rushmore Radio, Inc., former licensee of
KDUH–TV (collectively, Petitioners),
the Commission has before it an
unopposed Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking seeking to amend the PostTransition Table of DTV Allotments to
delete channel 7 at Scottsbluff, Nebraska
and to substitute channel 7 at Sidney,
Nebraska. Petitioners further request
modification of KDUH–TV’s license to
specify Sidney as the station’s
community of license. Petitioners assert
that their proposal to reallot channel 7
to Sidney is based on the technical
specifications currently authorized for
KDUH–TV and, therefore, the new
allotment will be mutually exclusive
with the station’s existing allotment.
Petitioners further state that their
proposal would meet the Commission’s
allotment priorities by providing Sidney
with its first local television service. and
that Scottsbluff would remain wellserved after the proposed reallotment
because full-power television station

based on the Assistant Administrator for
Fisheries’ (AA’s) determination that El

Nino conditions are occurring off the

protects Endangered Species Act-listed
loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta),
specifically the endangered North

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The DGN

Management Plan for U.S. West Coast
Fisheries for Highly Migratory Species
(50 CFR part 660, subpart K) and occurs
off the coast of California. NMFS
regulations provide that no person may

fish with, set, or haul back drift gillnet
gear in U.S. waters of the Pacific Ocean
east of the 120° W. meridian from June
1 through August 31 during a
˜
forecasted, or occurring, El Nino event
off the coast of southern California (50
CFR 660.713(c)(2)). This area, which
falls within the Southern California
Bight (SCB), is referred to in the
regulations as the ‘‘Pacific loggerhead
conservation area.’’
Under 50 CFR 660.713(c)(2)(ii), the
AA is to rely on information developed
by NOAA offices (the Climate
Prediction Center (CPC) and the West
Coast Office of the Coast Watch
program) to make the determination that
˜
an El Nino event is forecasted or
occurring off southern California. The
AA is to use monthly sea surface
temperature (SST) charts to determine
whether there are warmer-than-normal
SSTs off southern California ‘‘during the
months prior to the closure months for
˜
years in which an El Nino event has
been declared’’ by the CPC. Specifically,
the AA is to use SST data from the third
and second months prior to the month
of closure.
NMFS published these regulations to
protect loggerhead sea turtles, which are
listed under the Endangered Species
Act. The regulations addressed a
reasonable and prudent alternative
(RPA) included in NMFS’ 2000
biological opinion on issuance of an
incidental take permit under the Marine
Mammal Protection Act. The biological
opinion concluded that bycatch in the
DGN fishery was likely to jeopardize the
continued existence of loggerhead sea
turtles and, as an RPA, recommended
the fishery be closed during the summer
˜
months when El Nino conditions are
present to avoid the likelihood of
jeopardy.
On March 5, 2015, the CPC issued an
˜
˜
El Nino Advisory, declaring that El Nino
conditions were present in equatorial
waters. Since that initial advisory, all
monthly CPC updates have stated that
˜
El Nino conditions remain in these
waters. The May 12, 2016, update
˜
reaffirmed El Nino conditions are
currently present.
In May 2016, NMFS staff reviewed the
SST anomalies in the SCB during March
and April of 2016, relying on SST maps
available through NOAA’s Coast Watch
program (for details see https://
coastwatch.pfeg.noaa.gov/erddap/
PO 00000
Frm 00073
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 9990
35653
index.html). These maps indicated that
SSTs were above normal in the SCB.
NMFS concluded that a determination
˜
of El Nino conditions off southern
California is warranted based on SSTs
that are warmer than normal during the
third and second months prior to the
month of the closure, consistent with
regulations at 50 CFR 660.713(c)(2)(ii).
If SSTs return to normal or below
normal during a closure period,
regulations at 50 CFR 660.713(c)(2)(iii)
state that the AA may re-open the
fishery after publishing a Federal
˜
Register notice announcing that El Nino
conditions are no longer present in the
SCB.
Classification
This action is required by regulations
at 50 CFR 660.713 and is exempt from
Office of Management and Budget
review under Executive Order 12866.
NMFS finds good cause to waive the
requirement to provide prior notice and
opportunity for public comment
pursuant to the authority set forth at 5
U.S.C. 553(b)(B) for the time-area
closure of the DGN fishery. Notice and
comment procedures are impracticable
and contrary to the public interest. The
˜
most recent El Nino determination
occurred on May 12, 2016, and
regulations require that the closure
period begin on June 1; therefore, there
is insufficient time for notice and
comment procedures. For the same
reasons, NMFS also finds good cause
under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3) to waive the
general requirement for a 30-day delay
in effectiveness for this action. This
measure is based upon the best available
information and is necessary for the
conservation of loggerhead sea turtles.
The closure period anticipated by the
regulation ends, at the latest, on August
31, 2016. A delay in effectiveness may
allow the fishery to interact with and
injure or kill loggerhead sea turtles that
may occur within the SCB during the
time period in which the regulation was
intended to protect loggerheads.
