The purpose of the memorandum is to implement the President’s plan to manage the Federal regulatory process at the outset of the Administration by providing the opportunity for the President’s new designees or appointees to review all new and pending rules. Because OFR published the HIPAA NPRM prior to the effective withdrawal of rules provided for in the memorandum, the HIPAA NPRM remains publicly available in the Federal Register and open for public comment. However, due to the proximity in time between the publication of the HIPAA NPRM and the Regulatory Freeze Memorandum, the public may need clarification that the HIPAA NPRM is available for public comment and additional time to review the proposals and submit comments. Therefore, to maximize the opportunity for the public to provide meaningful input to inform policy development, the Department is extending the comment period to May 6, 2021.

[MB Docket No. 21-9; RM-11872; DA 21-40; FRS 17397]


Television Broadcasting Services Tulsa, Oklahoma

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Proposed rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Commission has before it a petition for rulemaking filed 
by KTUL Licensee, LLC, (Licensee), licensee of KTUL, channel 10, Tulsa, 
Oklahoma, requesting the substitution of channel 14 for channel 10 at 
Tulsa in the DTV Table of Allotments. The Licensee states that the 
Commission has recognized that VHF channels have certain propagation 
characteristics which may cause reception issues for some viewers, and 
also that reception of VHF signals require larger antennas that are 
generally not well suited to the mobile applications expected under 
flexible use, relative to UHF channels. KTUL has received numerous 
complaints from viewers unable to receive the Station's over-the-air 
signal, despite being able to receive signals from other stations. 
Licensee further states that with respect to operations on channel 14 
and nearby land mobile services, it has determined that it can install 
the appropriate mask filter and antenna needed to avoid interference to 
land mobile operations. In addition, operation on channel 14 will not 
result in any predicted loss of service and would result in a 
substantial increase in signal receivability for KTUL viewers.

DATES: Comments must be filed on or before April 9, 2021 and reply 
comments on or before April 26, 2021.
