In support
of its channel substitution request, the
Licensee states that the Commission has
recognized that VHF channels have
certain propagation characteristics
which may cause reception issues for
some viewers, and that the reception of
VHF signals require larger antennas
relative to UHF channels. According to
the Licensee, WLUK–TV has received
numerous complaints from viewers
unable to receive its signal and the
Licensee’s channel substitution
proposal will result in more effective
building penetration for indoor antenna
reception and greatly improve the
Station’s ability to provide ATSC 3.0
service to homes, vehicles, and portable
devices. The Licensee further states that
it will continue to serve all of the
population located within the licensed
channel 12 contour and that three other
FOX-affiliated stations provide a signal
to portions of the licensed channel 12
facility. We believe that the Licensee’s
channel substitution proposal warrants
consideration. Channel 18 can be
substituted for channel 12 at Green Bay,
Wisconsin as proposed, in compliance
with the principal community coverage
requirements of the Commission’s rules
at coordinates 44–24–32.0 N and 87–59–
31.0 W. In addition, we find that this
channel change meets the technical
requirements set forth in our
regulations.
This is a synopsis of the
Commission’s Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking, MB Docket No. 21–72;
RM–11888; DA 21–271, adopted March
4, 2021, and released March 4, 2021.

We, the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service (Service), propose to
reclassify (downlist) the Hawaiian stilt
(Himantopus mexicanus knudseni) from
endangered to threatened under the
Endangered Species Act of 1973, as
amended (Act). After a review of the
best available scientific and commercial
information, we find that the
subspecies’ status has improved such
that it is not currently in danger of
extinction throughout all or a significant
portion of its range, but that it is still
likely to become so in the foreseeable
future. We also propose a rule under
section 4(d) of the Act that provides for
the conservation of the Hawaiian stilt.
Additionally, we also recognize the
name ‘‘aeo’’ as an alternative common
name.
We will accept comments
received or postmarked on or before
May 24, 2021. Comments submitted
electronically using the Federal
eRulemaking Portal (see ADDRESSES,
