The proposed rule was published at 86 FR 21681 on April 23, 2021. The Petitioner filed comments in support of the petition reaffirming its commitment to apply for channel 35. No other comments were filed. The Petitioner states that VHF channels have certain propagation characteristics which may cause reception issues for some viewers. In addition, WRGB has received numerous complaints from viewers unable to receive the Station’s over-theair signal, despite being able to receive signals from other stations. While the proposed channel 35 noise limited contour does not completely encompass the relevant channel 6 noise limited contour, WRGB is a CBS affiliate and there are three other CBS affiliated stations that serve some portion of the loss area. In addition, the Petitioner submitted an analysis, using the Commission’s TVStudy software analysis program, demonstrating that, after taking into account service provided by other CBS stations, all of the population located within WRGB’s original post-DTV transition channel 6 noise limited contour will continue to receive CBS service, except for 30 people, a number the Commission considers de minimis.

ACTION: Final rule. AGENCY: NMFS issues regulations to implement management measures described in a framework action to the Fishery Management Plan for the Reef Fish Resources of the Gulf of Mexico (FMP), as prepared by the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council (Council). This final rule modifies catch limits in the Gulf of Mexico (Gulf) exclusive economic zone (EEZ) for gray triggerfish. The purpose of this final rule and the framework action is to modify the catch limits, as applicable, consistent with the most recent interim analysis for gray triggerfish and to achieve optimum yield (OY) for the stock. SUMMARY: This final rule is effective July 29, 2021. ADDRESSES: Electronic copies of the framework action, which includes an environmental assessment, a regulatory impact review, and a Regulatory Flexibility Act analysis, may be obtained from the Southeast Regional Office website at https:// www.fisheries.noaa.gov/action/ framework-action-modification-graytriggerfish-catch-limits. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kelli O’Donnell, Southeast Regional Office, NMFS, telephone: 727–824– 5305, email: Kelli.ODonnell@noaa.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Gulf reef fish fishery, which includes gray triggerfish, is managed under the FMP. The FMP was prepared by the Council and is implemented by NMFS through regulations at 50 CFR part 622 under the authority of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act). On April 21, 2021, NMFS published a proposed rule for the framework action and requested public comment (86 FR 20649). The proposed rule and the framework action outline the DATES: ■ * DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE * PO 00000 Frm 00035 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 34159 rationale for the actions contained in this final rule, which is unchanged from the proposed rule. A summary of the management measures described in the framework action and implemented by this final rule is described below. All weights in the final rule are described in round weight. Background The Magnuson-Stevens Act requires NMFS and regional fishery management councils to prevent overfishing and to achieve, on a continuing basis, the OY from federally managed fish stocks to ensure that fishery resources are managed for the greatest overall benefit to the nation, particularly with respect to providing food production and recreational opportunities, and protecting marine ecosystems. Gray triggerfish in the Gulf EEZ are managed using both commercial and recreational sector measures with each sector having its own annual catch limit (ACL) and annual catch target (ACT). The sector allocation of the stock ACL, which equals the acceptable biological catch (ABC), is 21 percent commercial and 79 percent recreational and was implemented in 2008 through Amendment 30A to the FMP (73 FR 38139; July 3, 2008). Inseason accountability measures (AMs) for gray triggerfish specify that if commercial or recreational landings meet or are projected to meet the respective sector’s ACT, that sector will close for the remainder of the fishing year. For the commercial sector, the post-season AM specifies that if the commercial ACL is exceeded despite the quota closure, then the following fishing year’s commercial ACL and ACT (commercial quota) will be reduced by the amount of the prior year’s commercial ACL overage. For the recreational sector, if the recreational ACL is exceeded and gray triggerfish are overfished, then in the following fishing year the recreational ACL and ACT would be reduced by the amount of the ACL overage in the prior fishing year. The current gray triggerfish ACLs, ACTs (set at 5 percent and 10 percent less than the commercial and recreational sector ACLs, respectively), and inseason AMs for both sectors and the post season AM for the recreational sector, were established in 2013, through Amendment 37 to the FMP (78 FR 27084; May 9, 2013). The postseason AM for the commercial sector was established in 2008, through Amendment 30A to the FMP (73 FR 38139). The most recent Southeast Data, Assessment, and Review (SEDAR) stock assessment for gray triggerfish was completed and reviewed by the E:\FR\FM\29JNR1.SGM 29JNR1

substitution of channel 35 for channel 6 at Schenectady in the DTV 
Table of Allotments. For the reasons set forth in the Report and Order 
referenced below, the Bureau amends FCC regulations to substitute 
channel 35 for channel 6 at Schenectady.

DATES: Effective June 29, 2021.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Joyce Bernstein, Media Bureau, at 
(202) 418-1647 or [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is a synopsis of the Commission's 
Report and Order, MB Docket No. 21-127; RM-11894; DA 21-700, adopted 
and released on June 16, 2021. The full text of this document is

418-0432 (tty).
    The proposed rule was published at 86 FR 21681 on April 23, 2021. 
The Petitioner filed comments in support of the petition reaffirming 
its commitment to apply for channel 35. No other comments were filed. 
The Petitioner states that VHF channels have certain propagation 
characteristics which may cause reception issues for some viewers. In 
addition, WRGB 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. While the proposed channel 35 
noise limited contour does not completely encompass the relevant 
channel 6 noise limited contour, WRGB is a CBS affiliate and there are 
three other CBS affiliated stations that serve some portion of the loss 
area. In addition, the Petitioner submitted an analysis, using the 
Commission's TVStudy software analysis program, demonstrating that, 
after taking into account service provided by other CBS stations, all 
of the population located within WRGB's original post-DTV transition 
channel 6 noise limited contour will continue to receive CBS service, 
except for 30 people, a number the Commission considers de minimis. As 
the Bureau explained in the NPRM, it used the technical parameters of 
WRGB's original post-transition digital channel 6 facility (File No. 
BPCDT-20080307AAK) in

determining any predicted loss which may occur.
    This document does not contain information collection requirements 
subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13. In 
addition, therefore, it does not contain any proposed information 
collection burden ``for small business concerns with fewer than 25 
employees,'' pursuant to the Small Business Paperwork Relief Act of 
2002, Public Law 107-198, see 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(4). Provisions of the 
Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, 5 U.S.C. 601-612, do not apply to 
this proceeding.
    The Commission will send a copy of this Report and Order in a 
report to be sent to Congress and the Government Accountability Office 
pursuant to the Congressional Review Act, see 5 U.S.C. 801(a)(1)(A).
