The National Institutes of Health “Methods and Measurement in Sexual & Gender Minority Health Research: Identifying Research Opportunities”
Sexual and gender minority (SGM) is an umbrella phrase that encompasses lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender populations as well as those whose sexual orientation, gender identity and expressions, or reproductive development varies from traditional, societal, cultural, or physiological norms. This includes Disorders or Differences in Sex Development (DSD), sometimes known as intersex. The Sexual & Gender Minority Research Office (SGMRO) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has developed the document ``Methods and Measurement in Sexual & Gender Minority Health Research: Identifying Research Opportunities'' pertaining specifically and exclusively to methods and measurement research in SGM health research. Experts in the field identified research opportunities related to methods and measurement in SGM health research during a workshop held in the Spring of 2018. The document reflects the content of the discussion among participants at the Methods and Measurement in SGM Health Research Workshop and does not represent an official position of NIH or any other government agency. We would like to obtain comment on the specifics of this document to consider for the purposes of informing and enhancing its content.
Television Broadcasting Services Cookeville and Franklin, Tennessee
At the request of ION Media License Company, LLC (ION), licensee of digital television station WNPX-TV, channel 36, Cookeville, Tennessee (WNPX), the Commission has before it an unopposed Notice of Proposed Rulemaking proposing to amend the Post-Transition Table of DTV Allotments to reallot channel 36 from Cookeville to Franklin, Tennessee. ION further requested modification of WNPX's license to specify Franklin as the station's community of license. ION claimed that proposed reallotment is mutually exclusive with WNPX's current allotment because it is based on the technical specifications currently authorized for the station. Furthermore, ION stated that the proposed reallotment is consistent with the Commission's second allotment priority because it will provide Franklin with its first local transmission service. ION explained that Franklin not only qualifies as a community for allotment purposes, but is also a larger community than Cookeville and is deserving of its first local transmission service.

Magnuson-Stevens Act Provisions; Fisheries Off West Coast States; Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery; 2019 Tribal Fishery for Pacific Whiting
NMFS issues this proposed rule for the 2019 Pacific whiting fishery under the authority of the Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery Management Plan, the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, and the Pacific Whiting Act of 2006. This proposed rule would allocate 17.5 percent of the U.S. Total Allowable Catch of Pacific whiting for 2019 to Pacific Coast Indian tribes that have a treaty right to harvest groundfish. It would also amend the provisions regarding reapportionment of the treaty tribes' whiting allocation to the non-treaty sectors to require that NMFS consider the level of Chinook salmon bycatch when determining whether to reapportion whiting. This rule is necessary to manage the Pacific whiting stock to Optimal Yield, ensure that the Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery Management Plan (FMP) is implemented in a manner consistent with treaty rights of four treaty tribes to fish for Pacific whiting in their ``usual and accustomed grounds and stations'' in common with non-tribal citizens, and to protect salmon stocks listed under the Endangered Species Act.

Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Removing the Gray Wolf (Canis lupus
We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service or USFWS), have evaluated the classification status of gray wolves (Canis lupus) currently listed in the contiguous United States and Mexico under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act). Based on our evaluation, we propose to remove the gray wolf from the List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife. We propose this action because the best available scientific and commercial information indicates that the currently listed entities do not meet the definitions of a threatened species or endangered species under the Act due to recovery. The effect of this rulemaking action would be to remove the gray wolf from the Act's protections. This proposed rule does not have any effect on the separate listing of the Mexican wolf (Canis lupus baileyi) as endangered under the Act.

Additionally, several miscellaneous technical amendments will be made to improve the clarity of the rule requirements. We are making no revisions to the numerical emission limits based on these risk analyses or technology reviews.
