On March 4, 2021, the Media
Bureau, Video Division (Bureau) issued
a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in
response to a petition for rulemaking
filed by WLUK Licensee, LLC
(Licensee), the licensee of WLUK–TV,
channel 12 (FOX), Green Bay,
Wisconsin, requesting the substitution
of channel 18 for channel 12 at Green
Bay in the DTV Table of Allotments. As

Auction and repacking process, WLUK–
TV was repacked from channel 11 to
channel 12. For the reasons set forth in

the Bureau amends FCC regulations to
substitute channel 18 for channel 12 at
Green Bay.

The
proposed rule was published at 86 FR
15885 on March 25, 2021. The Licensee
filed comments in support of the
petition reaffirming its commitment to
applying for channel 18. No other
comments were received. In support,
the Licensee states that the Commission
has recognized that VHF channels have
certain propagation characteristics
which may cause reception issues for
some viewers, that the reception of VHF
signals requires larger antennas relative
to UHF channels, and that many of the
WLUK–TV viewers experience
difficulty receiving its signal. In
addition, operation on channel 18 will
not result in any predicted loss of
service.
This is a synopsis of the
Commission’s Report and Order, MB

This document does not contain
information collection requirements
subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Amy Fowler, Office of Protected

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Purpose and Need for Regulatory
Action
NMFS received an application from
Point Blue requesting five-year
regulations and authorization to take
multiple species of marine mammals.
Take would occur by Level B
harassment incidental to visual
disturbance of pinnipeds during
research activities and use of research
equipment. Please see Background
below for definitions of harassment.
These regulations establish a framework
under the authority of the MMPA (16
U.S.C. 1361 et seq.) to allow for the
issuance of a LOA for the take of marine
mammals incidental to Point Blue’s
seabird research activities in central
California.
Legal Authority for the Proposed Action
Section 101(a)(5)(A) of the MMPA (16
U.S.C. 1371(a)(5)(A)) directs the
Secretary of Commerce to allow, upon
request, the incidental, but not
intentional taking of small numbers of
marine mammals by U.S. citizens who
engage in a specified activity (other than
commercial fishing) within a specified
geographical region for up to five years
if, after notice and public comment, the
agency makes certain findings and
issues regulations that set forth
permissible methods of taking pursuant
to that activity and other means of
effecting the ‘‘least practicable adverse
impact’’ on the affected species or
stocks and their habitat (see the
discussion below in the Mitigation
section), as well as monitoring and
reporting requirements. Section
