Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 130 / Friday, July 6, 2018 / Proposed Rules
daltland on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with PROPOSALS
(1) expand educational broadband
benefits to more students, schools, and
families; (2) foster broadband
deployment in rural areas, including on
tribal lands, many of which have
limited or no service today; and (3)
accelerate the deployment of 5G
wireless networks to more Americans.
They argue that the ‘‘issues raised by the
NPRM are as complex as they are
important’’ and that ‘‘complex
geospatial analysis is required . . .’’ In
addition, they allege that this
proceeding is not routine, and that the
current timing falls during the summer
which is particularly difficult for
schools and educators.
5. As set forth in section 1.46 of the
Commission’s rules, the Commission’s
policy is that extensions of time for
filing comments in rulemaking
proceedings shall not be routinely
granted. In this case, however, the
Commission finds that the number,
scope, and importance of the questions
asked in the 2.5 GHz NPRM warrant a
partial extension of the comment and
reply comment deadlines. While
NEBSA and CTN seek an extension of
45 days, and the Joint Stakeholders seek
an extension of 60 days, the
Commission believes that an extension
of 30 days will adequately serve the
public interest by providing interested
parties additional time to develop more
full and complete responses to the 2.5
GHz NPRM and promote a more
comprehensive record, without
resulting in undue delay. Thus,
comments are now due August 8, 2018
and reply comments due by September
7, 2018.
6. Accordingly, It is ordered that,
pursuant to Section 4(i) of the
Communications Act of 1934, as
amended, 47 U.S.C. 154(i), and Section
1.46 of the Commission’s rules, 47 CFR
1.46, the motions for extension of time
filed NEBSA/CTN and the Joint
Stakeholders are granted in part, and
otherwise denied. The deadline for
filing comments in this proceeding is
extended to August 8, 2018, and the
deadline for filing reply comments is
extended to September 7, 2018.

Jkt 244001
The Commission has before it
a petition for rulemaking filed by
Connecticut Public Broadcasting, Inc.
(Petitioner or CPBI)), licensee of
television station WEDW, channel *49,
Bridgeport, Connecticut (WEDW).
WEDW operates on a shared basis with
commercial television station WZME,
Bridgeport, Connecticut (WZME),
licensed to NRJ TV NY License Co.
(NRJ). Prior to channel sharing, WZME
was licensed on channel 42 at
Bridgeport; NRJ has relinquished its
channel 42 spectrum pursuant to a
successful license relinquishment bid in
the broadcast incentive auction and the
spectrum is now being licensed to new
600 MHz Band flexible use licensees.
CPBI requests an amendment of the
DTV Table of Allotments to change
WEDW’s community of license from
Bridgeport to Stamford, Connecticut.
Petitioner further requests modifications
of WEDW’s license to specify Stamford
as its community of license. CPBI
asserts that the proposed reallotment
will not deprive Bridgeport of its sole
broadcast station as it will continue to
be served by shared station WZME on
channel 49 at Bridgeport. CPBI does not
propose to change WEDW’s licensed
facilities as part of its allotment request
and its existing principal community
contour will cover the entire community
of Stamford from the station’s currentlylicensed transmission facilities.
DATES: Comments must be filed on or
before August 6, 2018, and reply
comments on or before August 20, 2018.
ADDRESSES: Federal Communications
Commission, Office of the Secretary,

AGENCY:
NMFS proposes to modify the
baseline annual U.S. quota and
subquotas for Atlantic bluefin tuna
(BFT) and the baseline annual U.S.
North Atlantic albacore (northern

BFT to reflect current ICCAT
requirements. Finally, NMFS also
proposes to make a minor change to the
Atlantic tunas size limit regulations to
address retention, possession, and
landing of bigeye and yellowfin tuna
damaged by shark bites. This action is
necessary to implement binding
recommendations of the International
Commission for the Conservation of
Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT), as required by
