12898
Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 42 / Friday, March 5, 2021 / Proposed Rules
establishes federal executive policy on
environmental justice. Its main
provision directs federal agencies, to the
greatest extent practicable and
permitted by law, to make
environmental justice part of their
mission by identifying and addressing,
as appropriate, disproportionately high
and adverse human health or
environmental effects of their programs,
policies, and activities on minority
populations and low-income
populations in the United States.
Because this proposed correction to the
California universal waste authorization
rule authorizes pre-existing state rules
which are at least equivalent to, and no
less stringent than existing federal
requirements, and impose no additional
requirements beyond those imposed by
state law, and there are no anticipated
significant adverse human health or
environmental effects, the rule is not
subject to Executive Order 12898. The
Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801
et seq., as added by the Small Business
Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of
1996, generally provides that before a
rule may take effect, the agency
promulgating the rule must submit a
rule report, which includes a copy of
the rule, to each House of the Congress
and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. The EPA will submit a
report containing this document and
other required information to the U.S.
Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller
General of the United States prior to
publication of the final rule correction
in the Federal Register. A major rule
cannot take effect until 60 days after it
is published in the Federal Register.
This proposed correction is not a ‘‘major
rule’’ as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
Authority: This action is issued under the
authority of sections 2002(a), 3006, and
7004(b) of the Solid Waste Disposal Act as
amended, 42 U.S.C. 6912(a), 6926, and
6974(b).
Dated: February 26, 2021.

Acting Regional Administrator, Region IX.

Commission.
ACTION: Proposed rule.
AGENCY:
The Video Division has before
it a petition for rulemaking filed
November 27, 2020 (Petition) by Gray
Television Licensee, LLC (Petitioner),
the licensee of WTOC–TV (CBS),
channel 11 (WTOC or Station),
Savannah, Georgia. The Petitioner
requests the substitution of channel 23
for channel 11 at Savannah, Georgia in
the DTV Table of Allotments.
In support of its channel substitution
request, the Petitioner states that the
Commission has recognized that VHF
channels have certain propagation
characteristics which may cause
reception issues for some viewers, and
also that the ‘‘reception of VHF signals
require larger antennas . . . relative to
UHF channels.’’ According to the
Petitioner, ‘‘many of its viewers
experience significant difficulty
receiving WTOC–TV’s signal’’ and its
channel substitution proposal will allow
WTOC ‘‘to deliver a more reliable overthe-air signal to viewers. The Petitioner
further states that its channel
substitution proposal will result in no
loss of service.
We believe that the Petitioner’s
channel substitution proposal warrants
consideration. Channel 23 can be
substituted for channel 11 at Savannah,
Georgia as proposed, in compliance
with the principal community coverage
requirements of section 73.625(a) of the
Commission’s rules at coordinates 32–
3–15.0 N and 81–21–0.0 W. In addition,
we find that this channel change meets
the technical requirements set forth in
sections 73.616 and 73.623 of the rules.
DATES: Comments must be filed on or
before April 5, 2021 and reply
comments on or before April 19, 2021.
ADDRESSES: Federal Communications
Commission, Office of the Secretary, 45
L Street NE, Washington, DC 20554. In
addition to filing comments with the
FCC, interested parties should serve
counsel for petitioner as follows: Joan
Stewart, Esq., Wiley Rein LLP, 1776
